Former US President Donald Trump has openly discussed his plans to flee the United States if he loses in the upcoming November White House race. In a recent interview with Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Trump suggested that Venezuela could be a safer refuge than the US under such circumstances.

Trump remarked during the conversation, “If something happens with this election, which would be a horror show, we’ll meet the next time in Venezuela, because it’ll be a far safer place to meet than our country.” He further elaborated, “OK, so we’ll go. You and I will go, and we’ll have a meeting and dinner in Venezuela.”

Trump’s statements included a controversial claim that Venezuela is improving its crime rate by releasing dangerous offenders from its prisons and sending them to the US illegally. According to Trump, this strategy is responsible for the rising crime rate in the US while Venezuela’s crime statistics are reportedly declining.

It is interesting that he mentioned Venezuela because Venezuela is widely considered to be under a dictatorship, primarily due to the actions and governance style of Nicolás Maduro, he has been accused of consolidating power by undermining democratic institutions and processes.

The US Department of Justice has accused Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who leads an autocratic regime, of involvement in narco-terrorism and corruption. Last month, Maduro was declared the winner of a widely disputed election marred by allegations of fraud.

Very, very interesting choice of countries. I wonder if he is taken any classified documents that he squirreled away with him.

I predicted that that this November we are going to see a landslide in favor VP Harris. But we cannot not be over confident, polls don't vote. People do.

Why Harris’ polls performance might be more than a ‘honeymoon’

Looking back to before her candidacy, there's some consistency in Kamala Harris' polling against Trump — and room to grow.

Since she catapulted to the top of the Democrats’ ticket last month, Vice President Kamala Harris has been quickly closing the gap with former President Donald Trump in polls. After President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance, it was looking like Democrats would be routed. Harris has essentially made it a tied race again. The big question, though, is whether her campaign’s momentum can be sustained till November and, crucially, if it translates into votes in the states that will decide the election.

There’s reason for Democrats to be hopeful. A New York Times/Siena College poll released this week shows major gains from Harris in three key swing states: Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. According to the survey, Harris now leads Trump in those states by 4 percentage points — 50% to 46% — among likely voters. That is within the margin of error for all three states, but those numbers are significant given Biden’s deficit last month.

[...]

This direct comparison suggests a continuity at work here. It wasn’t a given that Harris would find herself performing as well as or better than the generic Democrat voters were asked about in last year’s survey. For her to have taken the lead among likely voters in those swing states demonstrates that there’s more at work here than mere relief that Biden is out. Her numbers also undercut the assumption that Harris is enjoying an unsustainable boost after replacing Biden. Instead, as NBC News recently reported, her campaign is doing the work to ensure that this surge in enthusiasm is being converted into a veritable army of volunteers.

The presidential race is still probably going to be a close one, in which a handful of states decide the victor. It’s much more likely to be a roller coaster between now and November. But there’s little reason to assume Harris’ current momentum owes to a “honeymoon” period that will wane long before the election, not when the polls showed so clearly that voters were seeking someone other than Biden to take on Trump.

 The Republicans are like lemmings, you know the little furry creatures that following one another off the cliff. They will be following Trump to their doom. 

 

Vote Blue as if your life depended upon it... because it does!

We can't sit on our laurels and be nice and complacent and not vote. We have to go and help get out the vote because this election will not be won on the campaign trail, it will not be won in the polls, it will not be won by campaign slogans, nor will it be won will fancy campaign ads, it will be won by getting out the vote!

The party that gets the voters to the polling places wins!
