| Like trapped rats, Democrats and other leftists are starting to get nervous |
| 2020-08-29 |
| [American Thinker] As I began writing tonight, I had a lot of tabs open. Shall I write about the racist attack The Nation launched against black Trump-supporters? Or should I write about Nancy Pelosi's suddenly announcing that Biden shouldn't demean himself by debating Trump? And what about the Democrats who are openly admitting that Trump is running the better campaign? And then there are the Jews proudly leaving the Democrat party — what about them? As I contemplated three or four separate posts, one for each question, I realized that they are all actually the same post: Democrats are realizing that Biden's early poll numbers were misleading and that Trump may well win. Some respond like trapped rats with viciousness or frantic manipulations. Others are feeling something akin to relief. No matter the response, they're recognizing the real possibility that Biden almost certainly won't make it across the finish line. The winner in the "trapped rat/vicious" category is Elie Mystal's revoltingly racist, dishonest, hate-filled screed entitled "We Need to Talk about the GOP's 'Black Friends,'" published at The Nation, a "Progressive" (i.e., leftist) publication founded in 1865. Mystal's premise is that Trump is an irredeemable KKK-style racist and that the Republican party and its supporters are complicit. It's a long, utterly contemptible piece that generally labels black Trump-supporters as "tokens" and says the blacks who appeared at the convention are "Black validators." Mystal, who is black, is a Harvard College and Harvard Law grad. Those bastions of Progressivism left him with some serious anti-white racism. Nothing, though, explains the revulsion he feels for blacks who didn't get his advantages and want to make it the old-fashioned way, through hard work and human decency. It's obvious that Mystal is steeped in blind hatred. What's also obvious is that Mystal is terrified that a Trump victory is on hand. You don't write this kind of manic garbage unless you're facing an overwhelming adversary and are emptying both barrels in the faint hope that you can take out one or two of the enemy as you head for your inevitable demise. Then there's Nancy Pelosi. After Trump accused Biden of doping to get through past debates, she made the confidential admission to all Americans that it would just be too demeaning for Biden to have to debate Trump: |

| #8 #6 Democrats are realizing that Biden's early poll numbers were misleading You say misleading, I say pulled outta someone's ass like they were for Hillary! and Brexit. Posted by: Raj 2020-08-29 12:24 ...Hear, hear. Any reasonable interpretation of the way the MSM presents 'poll numbers' is that we are told and expected to believe that Their Candidate is so far ahead from the very beginning that we might as well just stay home. At this point in 2016, remember, Hilary! was still leading in most polls by low double digits...yet here we are. Mike |

| #7 I suspect those served two purposes. Demoralizing Trump's base and making a stolen election look more "plausible". |

| #4 All the conspiracy theories since Trump won, all the attempted coups, sacrificing Weinstein, killing Epstein, riots everything including full backing from Communist China and the new USSR of Putin have been the actions of very very GUILTY cornered rats. Go all the way back to the first CIA defector to Cuba who concluded in the 1960s that the difference between the Republicans and the Democrats was this: They both exploit the masses but the Democrats have guilt over it that they assuage by taxing the masses to pay for non-working compensation for their political guilt. Example: Exploiting the blacks? Start a war on poverty. |

| #2 The main characteristic of trapped rats is cannibalism. I view the next six months with anticipation. I figure 3-4 months post-election for the bloodletting to reach it's asymptote. |

| #1 I got a letter from the board of elections yesterday asking me if I wanted to request a mail-in ballot. No thanks, I will vote in person. |
