Gaslighting the Ratings on the Dueling Townhalls
Timothy Birdnow
I watched the dueling townhalls last night (and yes, there was some squealing like a pig, mostly from Savannah Guthrie), flipping channels when commercial breaks hit. I wanted to watch mostly Biden to see how he did; we knew what Trump would say. Things went about as I expected.
First, Savannah Guthrie (I wonder if she's related to the late Communist Woodie Guthrie?) shrieked like a banshee at Mr. Trump, repeatedly interrupting him and arguing with him when she was supposed to be moderating. This was a townhall, not a hot-seat interview. The public was supposed to ask the questions. But Guthrie made it her business to fight Trump at every turn. Frankly, I wanted someone to slap her; she was being a monumental witch.
By contrast, George "Half Pint" Stephanopoulis, former Clinton Crime Syndicate Capo, didn't throw any softballs at Biden; rather, he placed the ball on a tee so Biden could swat at it. There was no effort to make Biden answer any real questions. Still, while Biden didn't melt down, he sounded weak and tired and, well, old. His speech kept catching, as happens to people who are becoming senile (I know, having had family members go down that sad path.) I rather suspect Biden was given the questions in advance - remember Donna Brazile did that for Hillary during the 2016 primaries. I also suspected Biden was either reading or listening; I think he was being fed the answers.
There was life and excitement around Trump's townhall while Biden's was, well, boring. I couldn't really watch it that long. Trump was more subdued, less combative with that Harpie Guthrie.
I warned that there would be some dirty tricksterism to make the claim Biden's was watched more than Trumps. This morning the media is proclaiming a Biden victory. But is it true?
Well, one thing that happened was this.
Tik Tok (a Chinese Communist company) users were watching the debates on multiple devices to gin up Biden's numbers. In other words, they cheated.
Now, why would they have to do this if Joe Biden is so far ahead in the polls? Polls favor Biden by as much as 16%, which means Old Black Joe will win by the largest landslide in American electoral history. So why the angst? Why cheat in this case? If Trump bests Biden in a poll about the townhall, so what? Didn't everyone tune in to see Trump make a fool of himself?
Methinks they doth protest too much.
And Trump is always saying Biden can't draw flies at his rallies. This is a way to call him a liar. See, there really IS excitement around Lunchpail Joe!!!! Just as there was around Jeb! since he put an exclamation point after his name back in 2016.
There was a claim going around that Trump paid $150 dollars to people to attend his rallies. Now Trump had over three hundred rallies in 2016, and there were tens of thousands of people at each and every one. Do the math. geniuses. But of course this meme was intended for those with public school educations who were taught the New Math and can't figure it out. Trump would be broke by now if that were the case.
No, this story stems from a case where Candace Owens was giving a hundred and fifty bucks to people for travel expenses to go to Blexit events. Now, the Left has done this for decades; ginned up events by paying homeless to show up. But it's somehow unsavory when conservatives do it?
Be that as it may, I knew they were going to find a way to say Biden won the battle for ratings, and I was right. They had to cheat.
Because they want to create the illusion that Biden will win in a landslide, and when he doesn't they can say Trump stole the election, is illegitimate, and should be removed, either through impeachment or by force. They are laying the groundwork for revolution.
And many idiots will believe it.
It's an old game, showing the Democrats up just prior to the election, but most pollsters don't want to ruin their credibility and so usually tighten the race at the end. We saw this in 1980 where Carter was leading Reagan until the last few days. We saw this with Bush/Gore. We saw this with Bush/Kerry. We REALLY saw this in 2016 with Clinton being projected as the winner before the election. But never have we witnessed something this massive. There is no good reason why so many would turn to support Biden, a lackluster candidate at best, and certainly no reason why those who supported Trump enthusiastically should turn against him. It could be there is some Trump fatigue, but I rather suspect most people find him fascinating, like watching a train wreck, or the Jerry Springer show. At worst he is highly entertaining. Biden will offer nothing but a return to the Obama program and boredom. Do not count out the bore factor. Biden wins at snoring the public, hands down. People don't like that.
This is a desperate attempt at bandwagoning. And if it fails it will give them the means to justify anything to remove the "usurper". Remember, they tried this very thing on Trump last time, saying he was illegitimate, having stolen it with the help of the Russians. That has been disproved, and in fact we now know Hillary was the one in bed with the Russians, not Trump. But they used it to justify going after Trump via "the Resistance" and refusing to accept his right to lead. Oh, and they impeached him.
What they plan if he wins is worse. Frankly, Mr. Trump may find his health in sudden decline; a Democrat already tried to murder the GOP in Congress and someone sent ricin to Mr. Trump. If you think that was bad, you ain't seen nothin' yet!
At any rate, we are being gaslighted by the media and the Demo-left. Don't you dare believe it!

I may be wrong -- I am once in awhile, after all -- and early voting, not to mention phony mail-in ballots will count against my contention here, to one extent or another, but I truly believe that when people step into the voting booth with ballot in hand, if they are undecided in the least, they will have to think about the economy and what happened during the Obama-Biden era, and how it began to turn around within days of Trump's inauguration. And how, for most of them, their tax rates went down, even if they weren't rich -- despite what the Donkeys kept saying. And how employment kept going up. And how Biden keeps promising to put an end to all that. And I think a number of them are going to think "I don't care what Trump's personal style is, it's what he does that matters." And they'll vote for the man with the record of having kept his promises to benefit Americans.

I really enloyed a fact check about no one showing up at Biden rallies, specifically at one in Phoenix where no one showed up.
The fact checker claims that the Biden campaign does that on purpose by not announcing where the rally will be in order to avoid having crowds because of the Coronavirus threat, and they don’t want large crowds to gather. That just sounds like nonsense to me. Why have the rally at all if you are not going to tell anyone where it is?
But a local Phoenix television station had a reporter at the location of that rally. How did they know to go there if the location of the rally was not published? The reporter certainly thought it was expected that people would be there because she was clearly baffled as to why no one was there.
That doesn’t quite fit with, "We don’t announce rally locations so as to prevent large crowds.â€

The very word rally means people getting pumped up; how do you have a rally with no people? It's an oxymoron, Bill.
Biden just can't draw 'em. Plain and simple. But why should he? He's been around since Moses received the Ten Commandments, and nobody ever found him of any interest even when he began.
I think you are right Dana. I hope you are, at any rate. I think most people are hiding their views out of fear of cancel culture knocking their teeth in.
