Former Trump Aide Has Great News For Kamala Harris And A Chilling Prediction For Donnie’s Future

Everywhere you look these days, there are predictions and polls regarding who will likely win the 2024 presidential election. Will it be Vice President Kamala Harris or will former president Donald Trump manage to eke out a victory?

Polls suggest the race is dead even, with the latest Friday morning polls showing the race tied 48-48 with less than two weeks until Election Day on Nov. 5.

So it seems the right time to ask someone who actually knows Trump and has been right many times about what the disgraced ex-president will say or do on any number of issues.

Anthony Scaramucci was the White House Director of Communications for 10 days and spoke this week with Sirius XM host Dean Obeidallah about what might happen over the next couple of weeks.

According to Scaramucci, Harris will be victorious.

“It’s too close to call. I think she’s going to win because she’s got the money, the organization, and I think there are more good people in the country. I think he loses.”

If that proves to be an accurate prediction, will Trump then attempt to overturn the results and possibly even call for rioting by his supporters the way he did on January 6, 2021 at the Capitol?

“If he loses, I’m in the contrarian view that he will not try to foment any violent revolution or an insurrection because he has a sentencing hanging over him on November the 26th,” Scaramucci said. “So three weeks after the election, 34 felony counts, he’s got to stand before a judge and be sentenced. If he’s fomenting violence in the three weeks after the election, they’re going to put him in jail. There’s no question about that in my mind.”

But what if Trump merely slinks away without calling for unrest? Does he still wind up in prison?

“I think if he doesn’t do that, and he says, ‘I’m never going to accept a defeat, but I’m not suggesting violence,’ and he slinks away, they won’t put him in jail because I don’t think they want to put a former president, no matter how bad he is, in jail. But if he’s out there blowing dog whistles and he says, ‘I want you to shoot your neighbors that didn’t vote for me,’ and you have violence in the streets in the United States, he’s going straight to jail.”

Let’s hope Scaramucci is right about a Harris victory and wrong about Trump’s chances of incarceration. If anyone has ever deserved to spend the rest of their life behind bars, it’s Donald Trump.

Flood Of GOP Polls Could Be ‘Rigging’ Last-Minute Electoral Momentum In Trump’s Favor

Just a couple of weeks ago, it seemed that everything was going swimmingly for the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, showing them leading in almost every key swing state and nationally, with the Democratic ticket’s lead growing as large as four to five percentage points.

Now, however, with Election Day less than two weeks away, you see endless stories in the media about how former president Donald Trump is gaining momentum and could even be considered the favorite.

What in the world is going on here?!

It’s called poll rigging, and as Greg Sargent and Michael Tomasky explain in The New Republic, right-wing affiliated polling firms are bragging that they’re behind the Trump polling bump.

It all went down in mid-September, at a time when the FiveThirtyEight polling averages showed the slightest of leads for Kamala Harris in North Carolina, a must-win state for Trump. Her edge was short-lived: The averages moved back to favoring Trump. And Quantus Insights, a GOP-friendly polling firm, took credit for this development. When a MAGA influencer celebrated the pro-Trump shift on X (formerly Twitter), Quantus’s account responded: “You’re welcome.” 

The implication was clear. A Quantus poll had not only pushed the averages back to Trump; this was nakedly the whole point of releasing the poll in the first place.

Of course, the underlying goal of such poll rigging is simple: Create momentum which then gets press coverage and makes voters believe the election is shifting in favor of a candidate. Republicans have been doing it for years, but the last time they did so, it wound up biting them right on the ass.

Coming at a time when right-wing disinformation is soaring—and Trump’s most feverish ally, Elon Musk, is converting X into a bottomless sewer pit of MAGA-pilled electoral propaganda—these critics see all this as a hyper-emboldened version of what happened in 2022, when GOP polls flooded the polling averages and arguably helped make GOP Senate candidates appear stronger than they were, leading to much-vaunted predictions of a “red wave.” Most prominently, Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg and data analyst Tom Bonier, who were skeptical of such predictions in 2022 and ultimately proved correct, are now warning that all this is happening again. 

There was no 2022 “red wave,” and many of us were left wondering (as we did in 2016 when Trump defeated Hillary Clinton) how the polls could have been so wrong.

They were wrong because polls can easily be manipulated and often reflect the bias of the pollster conducting the poll.

Polling bias/rigging is now so ubiquitous (especially among conservatives) that it has become a default strategy for the 2024 Trump campaign, which knows Harris has more money to spend in the closing days of the campaign as real momentum (i.e. voters going to the polls) builds for Democrats. Republicans are desperate for a narrative to counter what they see happening on the ground.

In their telling, GOP data is serving an essential end of pro-Trump propaganda, which is heavily geared toward painting him as a formidable, “strong” figure whose triumph over the “weak” Kamala Harris is inevitable. This illusion is essential to Trump’s electoral strategy, goes this reading, and GOP-aligned data firms are concertedly attempting to build up that impression, both in the polling averages and in media coverage that is gravitationally influenced by it. They are also engaged in a data-driven psyop designed to spread a sense of doom among Democrats that the election is slipping away from them.

A data-driven psyop. In other words, it’s the sort of thing that’s done in Russia and other authoritarian countries: Repeating a lie so often that people start to believe it’s true.

Who is actually on the path to victory on November 5? A poll won’t tell you. That can only be determined by counting the ballots. So hang in there. We’ve only got 13 more days before the polls are utterly irrelevant.

Enraged ‘Christian’ Trump Supporter Threatens Kamala Harris – She’s ‘Gonna Meet Her Maker’

A rabid supporter of failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump said over the weekend that Vice President Kamala Harris should start praying and asking God to forgive her or else she would “meet her maker.”

The man, who said his name was Andrew, spoke to a reporter from Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN), and proclaimed that he was there to “represent the truth, Jesus Christ.”

Despite his claims of representing Christ, Andrew had some other incredibly un-Christlike things to say, accusing Democrats of having “sold out for the devil.”

“They don’t want anything to do with God,” he said. “I think [Harris] better get on her hands and her knees and start crying out to the one and true living God because if not, she’s gonna meet her maker real quick.”

“I think she’s dumb,” he added. “She’s one of the dumbest women that could ever run. She shouldn’t run.”

Andrew also spouted off some misogynistic bile.

“This is a man’s world. This is a man’s country. This… this country is supposed to be run like a business. And that is why Donald Trump is the one that we need at this moment.”

Social media users pushed back on the man’s rantings.

Former Bush Adviser: The 2024 Presidential Race ‘Is Baked’ And Harris Has Already Won

Mark McKinnon served as chief media adviser to both George W. Bush and Sen. John McCain, and he has a message for those who still think the 2024 election is going to be close: Kamala Harris has already won and all that remains is to count the votes and determine how big her landslide will be.

McKinnon shared his thoughts in a provocative article for Vanity Fair, noting that Harris can go ahead and start writing her victory speech for the night of the election.

“I mean, when you have the nominee of a major political party mentally unplugging during a town hall, stopping answering questions, and swaying along to his own Spotify playlist for 39 interminable minutes—and no one seems to blink—we’re out of surprises.”

“There’s no big last debate. No tentpole events likely to shake up the race in these dwindling days. Yes, a full-on war could break out in the Middle East. Or another hurricane could blow ashore, wreaking havoc—and Category 5 conspiracy theories. But the reality is that if nothing or everything happens between now and November 5, it’s unlikely to change the outcome.”

“This sucker is baked.”

What about all those undecided voters? There are none of them, McKinnon claims. If any voters haven’t yet made up their minds, chances are they won’t be voting.

There’s also the issue of Donald Trump’s mental fitness, which has been called into question repeatedly over the past week.

“In addition, Trump suddenly seems not just lazy, weak (by dodging another debate, for instance), and old, but also truly out of it,” he wrote.

“Some days he makes it seem like the “25” in Project 2025 is a secret plan to execute the 25th Amendment if he actually gets elected, paving the way for—Lord help us—President JD Vance.”

Harris, on the other hand, seems to be getting stronger each day, McKinnon concludes.

“Meanwhile, Harris looks strong and confident. She’s demanding another debate. She’s marching into the lion’s den of Fox News and perhaps Joe Rogan’s podcast. She’s running clips of Dictatorial Donald at her rallies—to cheers and jeers. On the campaign trail, she’s enlisting the help of a raft of ready-for-prime-time players, including Barack Obama, other top Democrats, and a number of anti-Trump Republicans.”

Kamala Harris is going to win. Maybe easily.”

Trump’s ‘Closing Argument’ To Voters: Kamala Will Make Cows Illegal

Just how far gone is Donald Trump mentally? Based on comments he made this morning during an appearance on “Fox & Friends,” he has lost the last few brain cells he had left.

As election day draws closer, Donald is using this as his final bid to undecided voters: Kamala Harris will make cows illegal if you elect her.

“I love cows,” Trump said in response to a 6-year-old boy’s question about his favorite farm animal. “But if we go with Kamala, you won’t have any cows anymore because we’re not allowed. I don’t want to ruin this kid’s day. I love cows, I think they’re so cute and so beautiful. But according to Kamala, who’s a radical left lunatic, you will not have any cows anymore, so we have to vote her out. If you like cows, you have to vote for me.”

According to Dana Milbank of the Washington Post, Trump has been making this same outrageous claim at campaign rallies.

“Kamala even wants to pass laws to outlaw red meat to stop climate change,” Donald Trump told supporters in North Carolina. “That means no more cows. You know, this is serious.”

Ruminate on that.

“She wants to get rid of your cows. No more cows,” Trump warned an audience in Georgia.

The steaks could not be higher in this election.

As you would expect, Trump’s obsession with cows was met with widespread mockery on social media.
