Knowing what we know now about Dominion, coupled with what we always knew about the inner city harvesting and late night vote dropping, I truly think that Mittens beat Obama. I remember him having all of the momentum leading up to election day and remember his internals had him cruising to a victory. I don't give any credence to public polls, but it seems that internals are pretty dead on. Not that he would have been any better, but when you are looking back at past elections, I wonder how many actually went the way the voters voted.

I would say “probably”, if only because the GOP put all their eggs in the basket of their turnout software and then the software shite the bed when it did a wide rollout.

Whether that was due to sabotage or incompetence is another matter.

Idk. Up until 2020, they would monitor "candidate enthusiasm" to gage how many voters would show up to vote.

There was alot of buzz about Obama.


They quit talking about "candidate enthusiasm" with Joe Biden for obvious reasons....

Nixon won in 1960.

Mob boss Sam Giancana rigged the Chicago election and swung Illinois for Kennedy.

Then Kennedy turned on the mob and the CIA. Couple that with the most corrupt and ruthless politician in history as VP. Guess why Kennedy got shot?

Yeah, he probably did lose on purpose.

He and McCain were horrible candidates that ran shitty campaigns. I’m sad to admit I held my nose and voted for them both.

Didn't Romney essentially disappear from the campaign trail the last few weeks as well? I seem to remember him working on his car.

He tanked his campaign on purpose after the 1st debate.

Change my mind

Romney mopped the floor with Barry in round one then threw in the towel when Crowley falsely took Barry’s side on not calling the Muslim attack in * Benghazi a terrorist attack. Meek Reek rolled over then it was over.

Not only did Romney know, he let Obama know he knew...

quote:

Obama was “unsmiling during the call, and slightly irritated when it was over,” according to Axelrod.

“‘You really did a great job of getting out the vote in places like Cleveland and Milwaukee,’ in other words, black people. That’s what he thinks this was all about,” Obama said after he hung up with Romney.

Yes.

100% of the Romney GOTV program was folded into a double super secret new software program that was so special Team Romney didn't risk testing it, lest the Obama folks find out about it. It was called Project Orca. Poll workers were manned with ipads and great expectations. There was no back up plan. On Election Day, Orca crashed around 9am EST. Without a secondary plan, GOP pollwatchers and GOTV personnel focused on trying to fix the unfixable Orca, instead of hitting the phones. It was an unMITTigated disaster. IIRC, we had >1000 GOP GOTV volunteers totally idled on election day in NC alone. I was one.

Insanely high turnout, and late reporting, is standard operating procedure in Milwaukee. If it was cleaned up WI would be solid red as Madison isn't near big enough to swing the state.

This has been known for years but the GOP has never done a fricking thing about it. Just like Miami until DeSantis came along and cleaned out that nest.

IDK but I do know he tried to lose after he found out he was winning. I do know they were on the same tem so it would not have helped us for him to win.

Absolutely. I forget the details but he had BHO dead to rights in a debate and he took his foot not only off the pedal but cut it off. Some rather plump reporter was narrating

Probably had nothing to do with his desire to end the Federal Reserve or get out of Vietnam or irritating the mob.

Yep, a perfect storm was created regarding who to blame. George H. W. Bush did make a call from Tyler, Texas approximately 90 minutes later to let his family know he was in Tyler. Tyler happens to be less than 90 minutes from Dealey Plaza.

I always had my doubts about whether that was a legitimate win by Obama. It had that "funny smell" to it. In retrospect, I'm not so certain that the 2012 election wasn't a trial run to see what they could presumably get away with. It would also explain why they were so totally shocked and outraged at the 2016 results when they thought the fix was in with only mild tampering. Seeing that they hadn't been caught either time, they decided to go full tilt on it in 2020 with no fear of being called on it or having the results scrutinized.

In short, I have had my suspicions about that 2012 election since it occurred.
