Fun's over

P. J. O'Rourke is my favorite political humorist; I have all his books.  So I have to listen to his latest take on the election:
"Biden's campaign platform is 564 pages long. It promises everything to everybody. It's full of unicorns and flying ponies and candy-flavored rainbows and pixie dust. And when those flying ponies glide with the marzipan rainbows and pixie dust starts to gum up the works of society … we're going to be in for a mess … But on the other hand, I think we're done with this experiment of having the inmates run the asylum."
I'm pessimistic on Trump's chances if only because Trump fatigue is palpable and, as I like to say, sometimes Americans just want to "turn the page."  But then I've been wrong on so many elections, the last time I voted for the "winner" was 2004.  So who knows.

That's weird. We're in full agreement about what's going to happen, but it makes me super optimistic about Trump's chances.

Maybe Donald 46% Trump shouldn't have gone with the Pauline Kael presidency and reelection campaign, designed solely for those who already support him?

Pauline Kael said...

The Viking may have thrown in the towel a little too soon...President Donald Trump takes lead Over Joe Biden in Rasmussen Daily ‘White House Watch’.

The Trump fatigue is behaving strangely and palpably.

With a week to go, Mr. "Muh Polls! They'll save you!" is grabbing onto Rasmussen?

The response begins with AH and ends with HA HA HA.

Be happy I went easy on you. I could have also included this poll result:

National Daily Black Likely Voter Job Approval For
@POTUS
- October 19-26, 2020

Mon 10/19 - 25%
Tue 10/20 - 24%
Wed 10/21 - 31%
Thu 10/22 - 37%
Fri 10/23 - 46%
Mon 10/26 - 44%

AH Heh

Pauline Kael said...

I think Scott Adams makes the Trump fatigue even more palpable:

Imagine you are a Democrat and you are watching President Trump redesign the Supreme Court and fire-up one huge rally after another while your chosen champion is decomposing in a darkened basement. Has anyone started a Gofundme to pay for therapy for half the country?

Rasmussen as a secondary source for Rasmussen? Compelling!

And as if that weren't already case closed, Scott "666 = Biden" Adams.


My oh my, this election is going to be fun.

Pauline Kael said...

The wages of Keystone Cop efforts at suppression...

Heh. It turns out that an actual majority of every single demographic grouping (except "Democrats") thinks that Joe Biden profited from Hunter's business "deals". And - Heh - the demographic with the highest percentage who see the corruption is blacks.

Ah Heh!

Pauline Kael said...

**Highest except for Republicans, of course.**

An actual majority of every single demographic grouping? Wow, Trump must beating Biden by 14 or 15 points!


President Trump's approval rating margin:

YouGov: minus-15%
Change Research: minus-10%
CNBC/Hart: minus-11%
Morning Consult: minus-19%
Public Opinion Strategies: minus-14%
Ipsos: minus-13%
Quinnipiac: minus-14%

Rasmussen: PLUS-5% WOOOO!!!

Plausible Deniability said...

What? YouGov and Ipsos don't dispute Rasmussen's numbers about Pop being on the take? I'm shocked.

Just talk about something unrelated then, no one will notice.

Joe Biden's state and national poll numbers look extremely unrelated to the laptop "scandal."

A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
