Today's Tiedrich rant: Kamala is running a near-perfect campaign and it's driving the press insane



Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/kamala-is-running-a-near-perfect

today, let put the good news right up top.

Thomas Miller is a data scientist out of Northwestern University. in 2020, he correctly predicted which states Biden would win, with the exception of Georgia. Miller’s back, and wow — feast your eyes on this.


Miller is predicting that Harris’ electoral map may resemble the 1964 map in which President Lyndon B. Johnson defeated Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Arizona) with a whopping 486 electoral votes, or President Bill Clinton’s 1996 victory over Sen. Bob Dole (R-Kansas), in which he secured 379 electoral votes.

We’re talking about a blowout where Harris gets over 400 electoral votes and wins Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and every other swing state,” he said.


shoot that shit directly into my veins. Miller’s deal is that he ignores the polls and and focuses instead on the betting markets.

We've lost our free press. Like almost everything else in this country, including religion, its become market driven and profiteering. Of course they need a close race, something to make people click on their advertising and their sensational headlines aimed at keeping you reading and looking at their ads, and clicking more to read more ads and compare stories.

This guy is referencing an expert who looks at the betting markets. Betting market odds just don't materialize out of thin air. They see signs that help determine odds.

I've thought about how this looks a lot like 2008. But, then again, if you looked at and believed the polls, the biggest complaint about Biden's presidency wasn't the economy, or what issues he has or hasn't handled. It was his age. That's what the right was drilling him with, that and immigration, until Trump neutralized that issue by his intervention. And then, poof, that's no longer relevant. Kamala Harris stepped in, and suddenly, every pollster and news media outlet had no model to run or no data to measure the effect of that on the election.

She's sane, he's not. She's competent, he's not. She knows what she's doing, he doesn't have a clue. She focuses her message and her campaign on us, he focuses on his self. She is a respecter of all persons, he respects no one and it comes across in everything he does.

I was about six when Johnson flattened Goldwater in 1964. But I've observed a lot of elections since then. I can't recall one, ever, when so many people who were in Congress or who worked for the previous Republican administration ever came forward to proclaim their support for the Democratic candidate for President. These are not isolated or disgruntled people, they worked in national security and were in the core of GOP politics. It's hard to gauge their influence, but given who they are, I'd say they are the tip of an iceberg and the Trump ship is about to rip its side compartments open to the sea.

So many career Republicans have come forward and denounced Chump, and these people have personal knowledge because they have worked FOR him and WITH him in the last administration.

I predicted this would happen, that R's would refuse to vote for Chump in November. However I never thought they would make public announcements, I thought they'd keep it to themselves and quietly vote D, or not at all. But they are actually telling the entire country how BAD Chump is, and he should never be allowed back in the White House.
