It is possible the Pelosi attack will create a major reaction that will help the Democratic Party.

Last edited Tue Nov 1, 2022, 09:13 AM - Edit history (1)

That is, so many are upset about the attack that they will get out and vote for us..

Yes, it is .....Creative Speculation...but maybe this attack on Pelosi's husband will create an
anti-right wing feeling that will get out our vote more than it would have before the attack in a way
that will be incredible.

Or maybe we can call it ..."Anti-Evil Vote." or "Pro Roe Vote"

..The question is ...How Many?

You never know.. I never thought that Trump would be elected President.

So, you can never tell what the electorate is going to do...Never, Never & Never

I have to agree with you. The people who hate Pelosi love this, the people who love her hate it.

And the world spins.

Also creative speculation, but we may be at the beginning of a trend or cluster.

for those Dems who were on the fence. The abortion issue is key but this attack may piss off even more people. It certainly won't hurt the Dems.

in our favor.

And you can take that to the bank. On November 8, at about 9pm ET that landslide will be unearthed
and be reported. It will be the...."Anti-Evil Vote" "Pro Roe Vote" ....So you don't believe it?

Read POST NUMBER 17.
