The Donald Trump Score Card

The burden is now on Trump to end the Gaza conflict, end the Ukraine war in 24 hours, reduce inflation even lower than its current near-normal level, reduce interest rates to zero or negative, place increased import tariffs on everything, and cut energy costs in half by embarking on a endeavor of, in his words that he made sound like a duck, "Frack, Frack, Frack!"

 

The Dow has soared 1,300 points as markets open after Trump's win.

 

Republican Tim Sheehy has beaten incumbent Democrat Jon Tester. It enhances the margin for Republicans who will control the U.S. Senate. It will assist Trump with Senate approval for his policies and nominations.

 

It was suspected years ago that the Democrats would have a difficult time defending U.S. Senate seats in 2024.

One-third of U.S. Senate seats are up for reelection every six years.

 

Orban of Hungary praised Trump in the early morning hours just after election results projected Trump to win.

Orban has been in power for 12 years and is closely aligned with Putin who has been in power since 2000.

 

The combinations for Harris to win without PA are not possible because Trump won GA and NC.


How Kamala Harris could win election despite losing Pennsylvania

excerpt:

"If the vice president loses Pennsylvania, her likeliest path would be to win Michigan and Wisconsin—where polls show her narrowly leading Trump—as well as a combination of at least two other battleground states:

either

Arizona and Georgia;
Arizona and North Carolina;
Georgia and North Carolina;

or

Arizona, Nevada and either Georgia or North Carolina."

 

Biden won AZ and GA in 2020 but didn't win NC.

 

In 2024 Trump won Florida and currently by about 11 percentage points.

In 2020 Trump won Florida by about 3 percentage points.

Trump currently has a 3.5% margin over Harris in the national popular vote. Before the election, he said he thought he had a chance of doing it.

Biden won the national popular vote by about 4.5% in 2020.

 

Well, the keys will be handed once again to not only a petulant child, but an empowered one surrounded by like minded suck ups.

 

Donald Trump’s Revenge

excerpt:

"Trump’s victory, in that sense, was a predictable outcome for a Republican nominee, perhaps even the expected one. And yet what a leap of unthinking partisanship and collective amnesia it has taken for his party to embrace this twice-impeached, four-times-indicted, once-convicted con man from New York. Trump in 2024 was no regular G.O.P. candidate. He was an outlier in every possible way. In 2016, perhaps it was conceivable for voters upset with the status quo to see Trump, a celebrity businessman, as the outsider who would finally shake things up in Washington. But this is the post-2020 Trump—an older, angrier, more profane Trump, who demanded that his followers embrace his big lie about the last election and whose campaign will go down as one of the most racist, sexist, and xenophobic in modern history."

 

Allan Lichtman's history-based 13-keys model failed this time. His record is now 9 for 11, unsuccessful for the 2000 and 2024 elections. He tried to reconcile the 2000 election that Bush won by a few hundred votes in FL, an election that ended up in the U.S. Supreme Court. Trying to reconcile the 2024 election result will be difficult for him.

The contemporary-based polls and statistical models were reasonably accurate for the 2024 election. If anything, they underestimated Trump slightly.

 

Ha,ha,ha! The joke's on MAGA. None of that will come to pass. Trump won't finish his term and it will be President Vance. Lookout!

Trump can be expected to do everything possible to make McBride ineligible for the Congressional Baseball Game for Charity.

Trump would finish a second term at age 82.

He has shown significant mental change and decline during the past year (even less inhibition than his previous uninhibited self, talk of revenge death of perceived enemies, use of profanity in public, excessive rambling off-topic, making noises like a duck at the mic, bigoted and racist remarks, mimicking a sexual act at the podium, referring to the U.S. as a garbage dump, increasing lack of perception of right from wrong, fantasy from reality).

His mental state in the years to come is expected to decline further in an administration that will likely be stacked with loyalists and have few rational-minded people to place inhibitions on his already uninhibited state of mind.

 

The U.S. Supreme Court presidential immunity ruling will further take away any inhibitions of behavior that Trump might have had due to the potential of having new criminal charges against him.

 

I’ll go on record here in saying that his own party will remove him within 2 years to install Vance and move the Project ahead.

Strange times are coming I fear.

 

The biopsy is in. The cancer has not only returned. It has spread.

excerpt:

"But I did have a theory of the case for my view. It was that Trump represented a particular American type of politician — from George Wallace to Joe McCarthy or, more benignly, Ross Perot. These figures tap authentic currents of grievance against elites and politics as usual. They typically have moments when they streak like a comet across the sky, causing conventional politicians to cower and tremble. Then these populist renegades rapidly fade away because they don’t really resonate with the deeper dimensions of American character.

In this view, the enthusiasm for such figures is the equivalent of a trip to Las Vegas. People get wild for a weekend, and even do things that might cause them shame in other circumstances. Then they return home to their ordinary lives.

What this election shows is that, unlike what McConnell and I once believed, Trump profoundly does resonate with deeper dimensions of American character."
