Predictions for the November 5, 2024 Elections

Caveat – If either President Trump or Vice President Harris wins by a large margin, then most of this post is irrelevant, or "garbage" to quote President Biden. Once again the pollsters will be wrong. If the election is close, the losing party will unleash a flood of lawyers on America; Judge will mostly be unsympathetic to the lawsuits. The Supreme Court would prefer to stay out of the melee, but might not be able to do so. The Lawyer ads will replace the political ads on TV. If the margin of victory is razor slim, then America will remain even more bitterly divided. Alternative A: President Trump Ekes Out a Narrow Win Psychotherapists will be working overtime for months. Peaceful demonstrations and marches will ensue, but so too will bloody riots. Universities will offer counseling to their students. Some, perhaps led by prominent Democrats, will attempt to disqualify President Trump under the Insurrection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Disqualification for federal office, extends House of Representatives, Senate, or hold any office, civil or military” of the United States if they engaged in resurrection against the United States. Vice President Harris could conceivably become President by default. That will end America’s democracy. The ensuing legal and political conflict would make the Bush-Gore spectacle of 2000 look like child’s play. The celebrities threatening to leave the United States if Trump wins will stay. Vice President Harris will join Governor Michael Dukakis (Who?). Where are they now? CNN and MSNBC will see a surge in viewership. The Jewish vote in America outweighs the Arab vote. The resistance already has a plan in place: Send in the lawyers. Alternative B: Vice President Harris Ekes Out a Narrow Win Many will remember the late election night activity of the battleground states in 2020. Philadelphia is notorious for “walking around” money. President Trump will not fade into the background. President Biden spent his time eating ice cream and biking along the beach. Vice President Harris spent her time hobnobbing with the rich and famous in Brentwood. Will she move the scene to D.C. or commute to LaLa Land? The Peter Principle in Action. The next four years will result in national angst. Many Americans will look fondly back at the Presidency of the senile Joe Biden. Fox News will become more outspoken.
