Trump Holds Union Advantage

On the Republican side:

Many union leaders might be endorsing Marxist-Democrat Kamala Harris, but their membership is overwhelmingly voting for Donald Trump. That’s why they are doing NON-endorsements. The big one was the Teamsters. Now the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) has also declined to endorse Harris.

These non-endorsement endorsements are very important because it shows that union membership supports Trump. It also means the union will NOT use its infrastructure to get out the vote for Democrats and that hurts down ballot candidates.

In 1992, Bill Clinton won the union vote by 30 points. In 2016, Hillary Clinton only won it by 12 points. In 2020, Joe Biden won union support by 19 points. Kamala Harris is only leading by nine points.

We expect that union workers will overwhelmingly support Donald Trump. About one in five voters are likely to come from union households. To date, Trump is doing better with union workers than any Republican candidate in four decades. In fact, union workers abandoned the Democrat party when Kamala Harris joined the top of the ticket.

J.D. Vance was fantastic in his October 1 debate with Tim Walz. We are not going to analyze the vice-presidential debate since by now you’ve heard everything that could be said about the nearly two-hour debate. Since a picture is worth one thousand words, here you go. What we will say is that Republicans should NEVER again “debate” on any left-leaning news channel. It is a travesty watching leftist moderators ask questions that benefit Democrats and only fact-check Republicans.

Election interference is manifested in a variety of ways, thank you Democrats. For instance, registering voters is a big deal at Trump rallies. A pivotal rally was the Saturday, October 5 event in Butler, Pennsylvania … same location where the first assassination attempt occurred. In addition, Elon Musk attended the event. Guess what the Pennsylvania Department of State planned to do during the rally? They had planned to begin maintenance of their registration system—“undergoing maintenance.” That would have meant NO ONE could register online! As we all know, most website “undergo maintenance” in the middle of the night when few people are online. Thanks to Scott Pressler, this was discovered before the rally!

On the Independent side:

The Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein repeatedly says that Kamala Harris will not win the White House because she has lost the crucial support of Muslim and Arab Americans in key battleground states. Stein says the only way to change this is for the Biden-Harris administration to do a 180 and stop supporting Israel in any way. According to Dr. Stein:

"Third Way found that, based on polling averages in battleground states, the 2020 margin of victory for Democrats would be lost in four states—Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin—because of third party support."

The Green presidential ticket is on the ballot in 38 states, including every battleground state except for Nevada.

On the Democrat side:

They view Green Party candidate Stein as a front for Donald Trump. (Nonsense!) Democrat National Committee spokesperson Adrienne Watston told Newsweek: "Jill Stein is a spoiler for Trump who is working hand in hand with Republican consultants and Trump's former personal lawyer to get her on the ballot in swing states. This will be a close election and the only way to stop Donald Trump is by voting for Vice President Harris."  

It's Still The Economy Stupid:

Democrat strategist James Carville often sounds like he has been watching too many late-night movies. But in 1992, Carville was the strategist that helped Bill Clinton win the presidency against incumbent George H. W. Bush. Among his directives, he told the campaign staff to focus on the economy famously saying, “It’s the economy, stupid.” The CFP Board, an organization for financial planners, recently conducted a survey to learn what financial issues are of most concern to Americans, as they prepare to vote. These were the most important financial concerns: 

  1. Cost of living/inflation 92% 
  2. Growth in income 85% 
  3. Tax policies 82% 
  4. Housing costs 82% 
  5. Interest rates 81% 
  6. Long-term viability of Soc. Sec. 80% 
  7. Job security 78% 
  8. Long-term viability of Medicare 76% 
  9. College costs (including loans) 56%
