One Year Until the Election, but no Definitive Predictions, Only Possibilities and Hopes

 

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

 

This week the mainstream media attempted to strike fear into the hearts of all real Americans. Everyone of these fake news agencies reported a story about a recent poll claiming that Trump is leading Biden in battleground states by three percentage points. I might remind everyone, the election is one year in the future. I would also remind you that Hillary Clinton was predicted to be victorious until election day 2016.

With assistance from the mainstream media, James Comey, and Vladimir Putin, Trump barely won the Electoral College after the voter turnouts in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania were lower than expected. He lost the popular vote, the only vote which should count, by three million. Less than 80,000 total votes in those three states gave us the worst president in history.

I must explain the manner in which polls are taken today. In the past, both parties and independent agencies used landline phone numbers. Very few homes have landlines today. I receive texts asking me to participate in surveys and block those numbers, like most people. Therefore, the sampling is questionable. It is impossible to receive responses from the largest group, Independents. It is also unlikely that a large variety of age groups participate. The same is true for women who continue to be the majority.

Some “experts” claim that this recent, questionable poll, is the result of President Biden’s age. They seem to forget that Trump is 77 and displays signs of mental and physical decline. It is a fact that he never possessed average intelligence, and between 2015 and today his limited mental capacity has obviously declined.

Several months ago I offered my choice for the presidency: Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan. However, she announced her intention to complete her term of office in the “Wolverine State.”

What I believe will happen is that on November 5, 2024, the United States will elect its first woman president. I do not expect that President Biden’s name will be on the ballot. Kamala Harris will likely be the Democratic candidate. Trump will likely be in prison, and former South Carolina Governor, Nikki Haley, will win the Republican nomination.

A year is a very long time. There are many possibilities. What is extremely important is that a traitor to my country does not become America’s 47^th president. Only a patriotic American should be allowed to reside in the White House.
