The election is next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

As I write this, Kamala Harris’s lead in the Real Clear Politics average<\/a> has shrunk to under a point, while Trump’s lead in the seven battleground states that’ll likely decide the election is approaching a point. That’s all within the margin of error – but polls tend <\/em>to undercount Trump, and he’s outperforming both his previous bouts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, yes, Trump will be elected as the 47th president of the United States, and the liberal talking heads will melt down just as they did in 2016. But what matters most is what happens after the election, and whether the experience of Americans will reflect renewed prosperity, a safer world, and respect for tradition and common sense. Many will try to prevent that, but making America great again should be a unifying goal. \u201cAsk not what your country can do for you \u2013 ask what you can do for your country.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I’m not sure the Democrats can let the nation have a peaceful, prosperous four years without repercussions. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
