Days before the Nov. 5 election, pollsters predicted the race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump was tight. According to pollsters, early votes were going to the Democrats, and polls predicted a razor’s edge victory by Harris.
The pollsters could not have been more wrong. As of Saturday, Trump had just been named the winner in the swing state of Arizona, giving him 312 electoral college votes, to Harris’ 226. Trump needed 270 to win.
In history, that’s not a landslide, but close. In 1964, Democrat Lyndon Johnson won 486 electoral votes, while Barry Goldwater, the Republican, got just 52.
Trump has done better than Joe Biden did in 2020, when Biden (apparently) won 206 electoral votes. Somehow in 2020, Biden was awarded more than 81 million votes — the most of any presidential candidate in U.S. history.
Trump won all seven battleground states, and is the first Republican in years to also win the popular vote across America.
Joe Biden, apparently, is an illegitimate president. 🤔
Where is cman and Alaskan for freedom and Frank?
Guess who won the election you anti Americans?
Guess who won the popular vote?
Guess who’s going to fix the mess your gods made?
You all need to stay inside without any news information so you won’t wind up crying and in need of medication.
Seems to be about eleven million votes missing. FJB got 81 m, kammy gets only 70 m. Trump scored about the same as 2020. Hmmm guess the cheaters decided to stay home.
Trump got less votes than Biden did in 2020, hardly a mandate. Bond yields dropping indicates investors believe inflation will return under Trump, you get what you elect.
Anyone that believes what happened in 2020 was anything other than an orchestrated, planned event by the criminals in the bureaucratic tyranny running DC is deluded. The economy will be much better under Trump and the world will be a better place, as well, even with the planned opposition already being mounted to oppose Trump policies at every turn.
And, for your edification, bond yields fall when interest rates fall. When inflation is rising, bond yields tend to rise.
Frank your such a poor sport your team got their clocks cleaned this election with the cheating included and you still lost.
Live with it.
312 electoral votes, won the popular vote, stock market at a record and world leaders making contact. Them mushrooms must really be good frank, hope you sent some to greg.
Wow! The stock market is shooting upward like a Musk rocket. I wonder why? 🤔
Hmm, my 401K is growing by leaps and bounds these last few days.
Thats it! Joe should have stayed in the race… With 81 million votes it would have been a landslide victory for him this time around???
Anyone with common sense, knowledge AND a real source for news knows without a doubt that President Trumps just completed what is known as a “ Three-Peat.
They are calling it a “Trifecta”.
The Democrats election team (Pelosi and Obama) should have left the old fool in the race instead of putting him out to pasture.
I guess we can put the elimination of the electoral college on the back burner for a few more years. Given what the pollsters told us this result is extraordinary, however if anyone were paying attention to what has happened during the Obama/Harris/Biden Administration of the last few years the results were to be expected.
With control of the Senate and what looks like control of the House the clock is ticking with two years until the next election. The first 100 days will be huge to undo the damage done by the Obama/Harris/Biden Administration.
It’s time for Obama to move away from DC and stop trying to run his shadow government with his chosen puppets.
The democrats cried wolf so many times, only to have a puppy dog show up. Eventually, it falls on deaf ears.
This is what happens when Democrats campaign on a platform that doesn’t address and/or have plans to implement on the true, common problem NORMAL citizens have: Affordability. Just keep going on about the fall of democracy, rise of fascism, abortion, LBTQ++, “gender identity” and whatever else and continue losing elections. People don’t associate the economy via the stock market, they gauge it by the cost of living. If Trump can negotiate peace amongst our neighbors, stop the printing press called the Fed and strengthen our dollar by stopping idiotic sanctions through SWIFT, the D’s won’t even get a participation trophy during elections for the next decade.
The Dems couldn’t spin or avoid the current situations plaguing America. #1 is inflation, can’t hide that or blame others. Crime, everyone feels it. Illegal migration, we all feel the pinch in our cities. We see illegals parading around in new brand name clothing, staying in nice hotels, and buying beer with their debit cards and driving around drunk. This really rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.

When Dems cancel and denigrate Americans for disagreeing with their nonsense ideas, when working class Americans get tired of being told they are deplorables, Nazis and garbage, when Americans suffer from trillions in Green New Deal money, wrapped with a disingenuous ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ ribbon, that ups the money supply and causes inflation … then most Americans finally give the finger to the arrogant, elitist and globalist puppets called Democrats. And this should come as no surprise to anyone (unless you are a progressive leftist idiot).
This final count was actually predicted by many conservative voices. America has been restored to common sense. God bless Donald Trump and MAGA!
Hope he doesn’t get too big for his britches.
You to Greg.
Trump is your President
Word is Sullivan is voting Thune and not Scott. He may need some encouragement… we don’t need McConnellites who hate Trump and wont put America first..

I too, share the joy in seeing in our election results that a vast majority of Americans and others around the world had finally had enough of the effects of the “woke” Neo-Marxist onslaught we have been subjected to since the Obama years and voted their desire for change.
However, we should understand why this modern Marxist movement had been as successful as it was. There is a fundamental difference between the original “Marx/Lenin” form and “Neo-Marxism”. The original was based on pure economic equality, plus was seen to ultimately alienate the masses once the actual carnage in life and liberty to get there became known.
Neo-Marxism on the other hand depends on convincing the majority of the population and it’s leaders that man has the ability to counter history and develop a new collective identity, namely pure communism. This idea originated in the communist movement in Italy in the turbulent, but politically diverse years after WWI in Italy. Antonio Gramsci was a young communist leader in Italy who later was jailed by Mussolini. While incarcerated, he wrote extensively developing and promoting this concept.
During the years leading up to WWII, his works surfaced and became popular with many intellectuals in Europe, eventually spreading to progressive intellectuals in Eastern colleges in the U.S. as “Communism” became the enemy of “Nazism”.
It’s because of Gramsci’s appeal to intellectual elites plus the technological advances of electronic communication to the masses that has driven this “woke” movement so far. Once they take a position, most so-called intellectuals will fight to the end to prove they are right!!
In addition, actual results of this “wokeness” have facilitated the creation of many economically powerful billionaires who, while not in the communism tent, will not give up that power easily.
It will be a hard and vicious battle to reverse all this!
Well written
Scary as the thought might be, Harris was actually a more viable candidate in 2024 than Biden was in 2020. Harris picked up 71 million votes. Biden supposedly won in 2020 with 81 million. You would think, that with all the vitriolic hatred towards Trump, Harris would get at LEAST as many votes as Biden, logically MORE. What happened to all those votes? Frank? Whidbey? Sebastian? Or any other brilliant mathematicians around here?
The missing votes should serve as enough additional evidence to any remaining thoughtful skeptics to enable them to see the 2020 election was stolen by the Democrats. Stolen by their ballot stuffing, fraud, and mail-in cheating.
It’s being widely reported that Musk used his Starlink satellites to suppress tallying of Democratic votes. Pretty sure that this one was rigged by MAGA, and that’s why there were fewer Dem votes this time around. That’s also why Musk is Trump’s new best friend, and why he’s suddenly so involved in the campaign and (probably) the government.
