Donald Trump won even though he may have lost?

-

 Just a day or two before the elections,  I was watching Real Clear Politics and its polling,  with Biden at approx 50 % and Trump at 44 %.  Now, it appeared to be a steep curve for the 44 %, upwards. But, with the election so close,  it was too late to see,  if we had a few more days, to see the curve when it would have ended.  

Mr. Trumps aggressive last debate, his criss crossing of the states he figured he needed to win, endless show of energy,  really was something to watch. Biden, his supporters, urging him to continue. Joe, you got to go! Keep on trucking, said many of his people. Obama campaigned with him at the end of the line also. Trumps energy was incredible. His message was strong and steady.

Oil, fossil fuels, Biden will phase them out, and sign the Paris Accord. What would that mean for the USA. No coal fired plants after 2035. Maybe. We will see how that one goes. Trump carried the message, which Biden spilled out on the debate floor, not too long ago.  Also, the right to carry firearms. Fracking, whether you were for it or against it, you knew who was running for what.

Despite a major cable news network, a billion dollar news network, totally against Trump, the Coronavirus that hit him hard in the polls due to his inability to bring numbers down ( European total numbers are probably worse), and increases in Coronavirus throughout the world,  the Democrats still hit the message home hard,  and won on that single issue. It was the issue, that issue alone, that really brought the Trump campaign to its knees. The economy was doing good, if it were not for the virus, he probably would have went in very strong.

The Democrats, on the other hand, put at their head, a 77 year old man.  Fair enough, Trump is 74,  but Trump at the end of this election looked as if he had run a marathon race of stumping, all over the swing states, and come out looking not tired. Mr. Biden, we do hope, if he does become president, that he will have an 8 year term. You never know, so we will see what time will tell.  But, If I was a delegate for the Democratic party,  I would have elected between an age group of 70 to 35. They should do away with their system of delegate voting, in my opinion.

Trump did amazing in this election. He carried Florida, a state Biden was leading or even in most of the time before the election. Everybody said,  Texas would move to Biden. No. Even the polling said so. Even the polls said Biden was leading in double digits, some polling, 6 to 8 per cent lead. So how did Trump outperform the polls. The polls nationally put Trump in the basement for months on end.

In the end, it was the game of Trump and his organizers. He may lose today,  but in fact, he was a real winner. He had to go against the Coronavirus, A billion dollar News Industry and pundits that lambasted him ( Ok, Trump did start it, fair enough), and his own sharp criticisms on social media put allot of people against him. Then he got sick with the Coronavirus, which took him out of an essential 2nd debate----  A debate, that could have moved things forward, by a week or so, in his favor. He could not go to rallies ( ok, they are not safe, I agree), which were really effective vs watching Biden at a drive in scene. Even some republicans, I heard, in his own party put infomercials against him... How could they do that, knowing that today, the outcome is so very close??? And that he maintained the senate, and did well in the house for seats.

The world governments do not want to see another Trump in office. He took on NATO for to pay its fair share, he tore up the Paris Agreement on climate change ( You can argue if the US can afford it), and tackled China on trade and the treatment of its people. He did bring soldiers back from the middle east, as promised, and did not want to go to war with Iran ( even though he strained relations with his actions). You could say he was against globalism, but yet, should not a country be in charge of its own affairs?

No,  Trump may lose today,  but, he won in real terms, and even if he lost,  of how he made this thing the biggest turnaround in the history of elections ( yes, even if he loses, because, of what he was up against and what the polls were saying).  The big networks will miss the big guy, the humor shows, because, he created allot of news...  We will see the outcome later on... 


Till next time.

Canada has a carbon tax. Something that will never work.

Carbon tax. At first, the Canadian Federal Government, under the Liberals, unrolled a tax where 90 % of it was exposed to go back to the payers of the program.  Now, just that sentence alone. Think about it. 10 % going to schools, hospitals... I guess... And 90 % going back to the pocket that spent it... But, not your direct pocket. Not saying all of the provinces would have done it in the same way. At the first roll out, New Brunswick, the province in which I lived, just reduced the tax on gasoline to make up for the carbon tax increase. The feds said, no no, that is not right.. That is not what it is intended to be with this carbon tax.. So eventually, we may have gotten back one carbon tax check one year, and I truly forget. Now, far as I know, I never received a carbon tax cheque back to my pocket...  But I do know, of programs, that went to buy heatpumps for people under a certain income... To make them energy efficient to a degree in the winter, but to comfortably cool their home

Borador- labrador collie mix

 Borador, we got this pup in the fall of 2022, and was a dog that looked more like a black labrador when he was a pup. We got him around 4 to 5 months old, and was a biter. He loved to bite. He loved to eat rocks. You could take him for walks, and, he would start picking up rocks and chewing on them. Some, he swallowed. For sure, we tried to give him a treat, to get the rock out of his mouth before he swallowed some of them. We had to learn also, to take him on trails where there was no little rocks for him to chew or swallow. He would, puke them up, at night and it made us worry about him very much. Then winter came, froze the ground for 4 months or so. Good thing, as he forgot about picking up rocks as the winter passed and 2023 summer is here. He now, likes chasing and fetching sticks.  He did do messes in the house the first 2 months we had him at the house. He eventually, learned to go outside to do his things. And, we became automatic at it, to bring him out in the morning ( he w

They say you are more famous when you are dead.. lol...

 Have to see, and say, the viewership on this blog, has nearly tripled since its start in 2012 approximately. I went through a dry spell from 2014 to 2016, then a spike in 2017, then 2020 a short blip of a month or so, and finally the last 6 months of 2022 to today, I have been getting viewership spikes in the 1000s, outpacing my first 2012 by 3 times as many viewers. And, I have not been producing any books during this time, even creating anything. It is mostly from the USA, then France, Eastern European countries, Russia, and a few from Asia views. True what they say,  you are more famous when you are dead when you are a creator, than alive. I feel dead right now. I have nothing on the board to create, no focus or means to get Part 5 done. There is no release of anything to any publisher at this point in time. Strange how marketing goes. You take the famous Budweiser, with Spuds Mckenzie long ago. When that dog come out, they were selling beer like crazy. And it helped cement Bud Lit
