Probably one of the questions she wanted to avoid during those editorial board meetings.

names of ballot counters

!!!
The same day she brags about having a gun for the purposes of using it against anyone in government who disagrees with her personal interpretation of the Constitution? Scary.

I get calls from pollsters all the time. I never answer them. I can’t believe there is a real cross-section of voters who do.

But the poll aggregators have a good record lately so the data seems meaningful.

She could lose 99% of the vote and they’ll do a recount, that’s not the issue. The issue is this information can be used to intimidate the people named in those documents before or during a recount.

Which counties? Are they blue or red or both? More information plz. There’s a difference between gearing up for a recount versus gearing up for challenging the election entirely as fraudulent and whatnot on the basis of “I lost…ergo, something wrong happened.”

Translation: “They know they’re going to lose and they are obeying Koch Bros directives to get ready to steal the votes.”

14

Hehe…while I doubt that she’d go there, I have no problem foreseeing arguments such as “60% of the ballot counters were democrats, so there simply must be something wrong and they clearly miscounted on purpose because me me me I was supposed to win.”

This loon said her 9 mm handgun would protect her from a tyrannical government. Two things: First A 9mm handgun would not be a very effective tool against a Soldier in full body armor and carrying whatever automatic rifle he/shes been issued. The second thing is that the loon in question wants to be part of the government. In that case, if she decided that as part of a tyrannical government she was going to have to shoot herself, the 9mm would be an effective tool.

Read carefully. She didn’t say that about her gun today, it just got reported today.

Basically, that’s how her campaign has been. Reporters find something really crazy that she said before she was running, bring it up and then her campaign completely ignores it as if it never happened.

And so far, its all gone away. I think brushing off the editorial meetings today however is going to signal her reporting getting a slightly different spin going forward. Hopefully no more obligatory paragraph about her being in the Iowa National Guard.

Makes me wonder what her campaign’s “internal polling” is telling her
