Trump’s crowds, big and enthusiastic; is campaign closer than MSM admits?

Although President Trump is being shown behind in the polls, he continues to draw huge crowds to his campaign events.

Conversely, Joe Biden reportedly didn’t draw a single soul to an event he scheduled recently in Arizona. His handlers said they didn’t want a big crowd: sweet success.

Could that be the reason that Biden has gone back to his basement hide-away? If nobody wants to see him or hear him – why shoud he turn up?

Enthusiasm is definitely on the president’s side.

Biden apparently is counting on the left-wing media oligopoly to do his campaigning for him.

The large media appear to be trying to dampen the enthusiasm for the president by indicating he is far behind in their polls.

This is similar to the situation when the polls, which must have been very selective in their polling areas, showed that Hillary Clinton was a runaway winner.

The Polls Were Off in 2016

How wrong those polls were.

President Trump is far from the typical candidate. People believe he is actually for them, whereas Biden has been part of the Washington establishment for some 47 years.

Should Biden prevail, he would become the Democratic nominee exactly 50 years after he won his first elected office, to the New Castle County Council in Delaware in 1970. It would be 48 years after Biden first won a federal office by capturing a US Senate seat from Delaware in 1972.

And Biden is still trying to figure out how to keep his and son Hunter’s cozy relationships with China and other foreign regimes (not necessarily friendly), which with the help of Daddy as vice president enriched the Biden family to the tune of millions of dollars.

The left, which has become the new Washington establishment – properly known as the Swamp – also is depending on social media help, to turn the tables on “Bad Orange Man,” whom they hate and can’t understand why everybody else doesn’t hate him, too.

Allum Bokhari, an investigative tech writer for Breitbart, has published a book explaining how Big Tech plans to beat Trump.

It boils down to this: Silence conservatives.

Bokhari says the problem is the internet is no longer being run like the free market. There has been a corporate takeover of the web, as it’s become an oligopoly controlled by a handful of Big Tech companies.

The companies have become so powerful, it is virtually impossible for an independent company to rise up to oppose them.

Bokhari says Google is far more dangerous than The New York Times or CNN, calling it “The World’s Most Dangerous Company.” It’s the greatest surveillance network in the history of mankind. Dr. Robert Epstein, a senior research psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology, calls Google “the most powerful mind-control engine ever created.” Google Docs monitors what you type and could ban you based on not approving of your content.

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act says that “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.”

In other words, social media can’t be sued for delivering false and damaging information – or mis-information.

Other information dispensers must check and edit to avoid publishing or airing libelous information that could get them sued ... but not social media.

If social media can screen its users for words it finds objectionable – like gun, conservative, God or fake news, it surely could search it for false and libelous information if it tried.

Solution Proposed

Bokhari says a natural solution would be removing or limiting Section 230 protections from Big Tech. They act like publishers and frequently argue in court that they are publishers, so why are they exempt from lawsuits when other publishers aren’t?

Columnist Rachel Alexander comments:

“Don’t be fooled by Big Tech’s claims that they are merely censoring really offensive speech. The evidence is overwhelming that they are trying to influence the most mainstream of elections, the presidential election. It’s just a matter of by how many million votes.”

Biden and fellow leftists’ goal is to create a country where constitutionalists (ordinary people) don’t matter – by doing away with the Electoral College and requiring a popular vote only in presidential elections.

That would turn the entire election over to less than a dozen large cities.

Fly-over states would amount to nothing.

That’s another good reason it is so important to vote – for President Trump – on Nov. 3. He’s got our back. .
