Final Predictions & Thoughts

So here we are, one day away from the Presidential Election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. The media has plenty to say, but if you've somehow made your way to my site I will provide you with candid commentary from the perspective of a simple working class American who loves this country.

Joe Biden has articulated this election is about the "soul of our nation," and for once I have found myself agreeing with Joe on something. The differences between candidates could not be more stark. In essence the option is an unexciting politician who's spent forty-seven years in Washington really doing nothing - I actually doubt you can name a single accomplishment of his. Verse an outsider who built a real estate empire and has done everything in his power to transition into politics and make America better.

Many people have written Trump off as some racist bigoted guy to which by association a vote for him slaps the same label on you. They believe America is a genuinely prejudice country to which the narrative grows older and more stale by the day. A few minutes watching the mainstream news makes it sound like we turned the clocks back to 1840. Charles Krauthammer had written a piece in 2018 titled, The Central Axiom of Partisan Politics, to which he makes the point:

"When Republicans unexpectedly took control of the House of Representatives in 1994, conventional wisdom immediately attributed this disturbance in the balance of the cosmos to the vote of the 'angry white male' (an invention unsupported by the three polls that actually asked about anger and found three-quarters of white males not angry.) The 'angry white male' was thus a legend, but a necessary one. It was unimaginable that conservatives could be given power by any sentiment less base than anger, the selfish fury of the former top dog — the white male — forced to accommodate the aspirations of women, minorities and sundry upstarts."

Many of you are likely familiar with the story of the boy who cried wolf, well how about the media that cried racist? In four years of a Donald Trump Presidency they have embarked on the same tired narrative under the impression they can attribute the rise of Trump to disenfranchised white men across the nation. Well what about disenfranchised American workers Trump coined the "The Forgotten Man" in his 2016 Inaugural Address?

In 2016 Barrack Obama went on a tirade during a PBS town hall about manufacturing jobs in response to Trump saying he was going to bring those occupations back to America. To quote Obama he said:

“Well, how exactly are you going to do that? What exactly are you going to do? There’s no answer to it. He just says, 'Well, I’m going to negotiate a better deal.' Well, what, how exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have? And usually the answer is, he doesn’t have an answer.”

That one line "what magic wand do you have?" cuts through me like a knife every time I hear or read it. Likewise Hillary Clinton had a similar comment to coal workers, "We're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business." Even Joe Biden said, "Yes we should end fracking and the oil industry." What a negative message.

Imagine I walked into a college seminar and said I was going to put professors out of business. What if I walked into a financial firm on Wall Street and told everyone I was getting rid of their jobs. What if I told software developers they could go kick rocks and their jobs are going away? Would that make anybody feel good? So now imagine an entire political party and the leaders at the top going on a tour across the nation in which the theme is your job doesn't matter. Look at Alexandria Ocasio Cortez who was thrilled at the fact she scared Amazon out of Queens, New York, eliminating the creation of 25,000 new jobs.

Despite what the media and elitists within the academic landscape want to impart on our youth, America is not a racist nation. The microcosm behind the Donald Trump victory was rooted in the motivation that American economic prosperity could reignite.

In the book How to Win Friends and Influence People, by Dale Carnegie, he has a chapter concerning the "desire to excel" within all of us. To quote the passage:

The desire to excel! The challenge! Throwing down the gauntlet! An infallible way of appealing to men of spirit. Without a challenge, Theodore Roosevelt would never have been President of the United States. The Rough Rider, just back from Cuba, was picked for Governor of New York State. The opposition discovered he was no longer a legal resident of that state; and Roosevelt, frightened, wished to withdraw. Then Thomas Collier Platt threw down the gage. Turning suddenly on Theodore Roosevelt, he cried in a ringing voice: 'Is the hero of San Juan Hill a coward?' Roosevelt stayed in the fight—and the rest is history. A challenge not only changed his life; it had a real effect upon the history of this nation."

When Obama, Hillary, and old Joe shipped American jobs off to China and proclaimed them as never coming back, Donald Trump said bring it on and accepted the challenge. In 2016, I had predicted a Trump victory by analyzing the economic decline taking place across this nation as well as the negativity projected by the Democratic Party, and he won by more than thirty electoral votes than my original thought. In 2020, by my most conservative estimate I see Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania being pivotal states in determining the outcome of the election, with Trump winning by garnering between 274-310 Electoral votes.

America is full steam ahead. We're riding the red wave all the way to the House and The Senate too.
