Trump's Pittsburgh Rally

Megyn Kelly explains why she'll be endorsing Trump and speaking at his rally in the beginning of this podcast. She says that everyone in the media supports Democrats -- they just lie about it. So she's not going to lie, she's going to put her cards on the table.

In this clip, she makes the case against Harris. She points out that Harris is a "radical leftist" and has spent the campaign speaking in "empty platitudes" to hide who she really is. She also makes the pro-choice case against Kamala Harris -- Harris wants to federalize the abortion laws. If she prevails on that, then any pro-life Republican and Congress could outlaw abortion entirely from the federal level.

I know the left doesn't believe that -- they always insist that there are (D)ifferent rules for (D)ifferent people.

And she's absolutely brutal on Kamala Harris for being a DEI hire, pointing out she only got into law school via affirmative action (which she didn't qualify for), failed the bar exam, and then climbed the political ladder on her back by sleeping with "the most powerful man in California politics, a man 40 years her senior. I'm sure it was love."

And then, of course, Biden straight-up admitted he chose her only for her race and sex.

This might be a preview of her remarks at the rally. I sure hope so.

Meanwhile: Mark Halperin discusses what Obama campaign manager Jim Messina called Kamala Harris's "scary" underperformance in the early vote.

Democrats are now pinning their hopes on 1, independents swinging hard to Harris to make up for the missing Democrats, even though independents tend to favor Republicans, and 2, Democrats swarming to the polls on election day, despite not being enthusiastic enough to bother to vote early.

A lot of this cope is due to the fact that blacks and Latinos aren't turning out for the Democrats, so they are forced to conjure unlikely scenarios in which white Republicans swing hard to Harris. Maybe 6-8% of Republicans swung to Clinton and Biden in 2016 and 2020, but since then, many of these NeverTrumpers have moved back to the right.

The idea that there are more White Republican NeverTrumpers today than in 2016 and 2020 is just a fantasy. Biden has been an absolute disaster.

The Democrat idea that Democrats will win election day turnout would be more plausible if Democrats were early voting at the usual rate, and Republicans were merely doing better in the early vote. In that case, I could imagine that Republicans were mostly just shifting when they voted from election day to early, and that Democrats might then exceed Republicans voting on election day.

But it's not just that Republicans are early voting more. Democrats are early voting less.

And if they're just not animated to vote early, when it's more convenient, why would they suddenly decided to stand in line for an hour or more to vote on election day?

If two solid months of calling Trump a racist fascist woman-hating Hitler have not energized these voters, what is going to happen overnight to get them to the polls?

Oh, and there's a big benefit to early voting: It allows the party to cross those names off its list and put all of its effort into "ballot chasing" the outstanding vote. Democrats benefited from this in the past; now Republicans are able to ballot-chase the more lackadaisical Republican voters.

Democrats are meanwhile ballot-chasing millions of votes they'd hoped to have already banked.

I am speaking based on facts. Sorry you don't like them!

Here are the #'s, according to Democrat Data Expert Tom Bonier of TargetSmart:

ARIZONA COMPARED TO 2020:
Urban turnout is down -385,285
Female turnout is down -170,011

GEORGIA COMPARED TO 2020:
Urban turnout is down -153,846
Female turnout is down -46,732

MICHIGAN COMPARED TO 2020:
Urban turnout is down -321,523
Female turnout is down -204,856

But, as Kyle Shideler warns: It just so happens that safe states will get their votes counted quickly, but all the swing states Kamala Harris desperately needs to win will take "days" or even weeks to finish "counting:"

Update: Gee I wonder who this vinegary tart is voting for?
