The Malignant Loser's Ground Game Disaster, Cont.




Rolling Stone has an article detailing the ongoing problems that the Malignant Loser's get-out-the vote operation is experiencing less than three weeks before the election. As we noted on October 7 and October 14, the Malignant Loser's decision to outsource his get-out-the vote effort to supportive political action committees like Turning Point, may be a fatal error, and the most significant player is none other than illegal immigrant, South African fascist and weirdo Elon Musk's America PAC. From the article:

"In recent weeks, several Republican operatives and other figures in the national party have bluntly and directly informed Trump they fear Musk’s organization is falling down on the job of mobilizing voters to cast their ballots for the Republican nominee. 

According to two sources familiar with the situation and another person briefed on it, these close Trump allies have told him that they are worried that America PAC, an outside group that Musk created to boost turnout for Trump, is failing in critical battleground states that are likely to be won by razor-thin margins, with only weeks left to go before Election Day. Some partly blame, including when they’ve spoken to Trump, the group’s lead strategists, who are linked to the failed 2024 primary run of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis." (our emphasis)

Ah, Ron "Bootsie" DeSantis eventually gets his revenge, if only tangentially. The article continues:

“'We were upfront about our concerns,' says a GOP operative close to the former president and 2024 Republican nominee, who requested anonymity to discuss private conversations with Trump. Rolling Stone was shown a screenshot of written communications further corroborating that these sentiments were conveyed to Trump himself. 

This source adds that they relayed to Trump that they have been in touch 'constantly' with conservative activists and other top Republicans based in key swing states, and few of them have had any positive comments lately about the Musk-supported America PAC’s impact in their respective states. Some say they are seeing a relatively small GOTV presence on the ground, despite the Super PAC’s massive spending to boost Trump — $75 million since Joe Biden withdrew from the Democratic ticket in July."  (our emphasis)

The good news is they've run out of time to recover and they've blown through a lot of the money provided by the South African fascist. But it will come to nothing if Dems get-out-the-vote efforts don't get voters to the polls, either through mail voting or in-person voting, and if we don't show up and vote.
