Remember when Julius Caesar got the knife between his shoulder blades on the steps of the Roman Senate? He turned and mouthed the now famous words, “Et tu, Brute?” And Brutus replied, “Then fall, Caesar!” That’s the most famous interchange in all of the play and one of the most famous bits in all the Shakespearean canon. Let us bring you up to speed today, August 18, 2024 as the Democratic National Convention gets in swing and Donald Trump is binge posting his brains out.

He started at 2:11 a.m. this morning. Maybe he’ll just pass out, finally, with the phone in his hand. Alright, let me share my theory with you and tell you who is playing Brutus to his Caesar: Rasmussen. Trump’s most bigly favorite incredible fantastic polling firm. Yes, we’re speaking of the polling company referred to as “more of a MAGA influencer than a professional polling firm.”

All those numbers have tightened. Maybe not Ohio with +7 but we’re not worried about Ohio, we’re worried about swing states. If Trump is listed as only a plus one then the polling firm is doing the equivalent of screaming at him in HUGE RED CAPS “Anything goes!” And their next poll could well be “Abandon ship!”

As you see in the tweet above, Rasmussen underestimated both the Kelly and Fetterman races. If they underestimate Harris the same way, she may be at three to five points above Trump and then you start moving out of the statistical error range into the real world. In my humble opinion, this is what’s driving Trump around the bend. He simply cannot take this dose of reality coming from a pollster that told him he had it all sewn up, but a few weeks ago. Here are a few other comments from Raw Story on this particular poll.

Attorney and cable news legal analyst Jeffrey Evan Gold said, “Add 5 points to any Democrat.”

Norman Ornstein — who is an emeritus scholar at the Koch-funded American Enterprise Institute — also chimed in:

“Rasmussen is to polls what Trump is to truth,” he said Sunday.

Michael McDonald, a professor at the University of Florida who specializes in American elections, simply wrote, “Lol. Rasumussen.”

Sean Colarossi, formerly of PoliticusUSA, said, “Kind of great results for her — winning PA and MI in the full field — given the pollster.”

Let’s look at it this way, something is driving the orange doughboy into fits of screaming, frothing chain posting. So it’s either this or something behind closed doors at Bedminster or Mar-a-Lago. And no, I don’t have the slightest idea where Melania is and I’ll bet Donald doesn’t, either. Probably moving Barron into college, wherever that might be. Melania is like Mary’s little lamb, she’s following her kid to school, at least according to a People article a few months ago that said she might move close to wherever Barron was going to college. (Which may be New York City.)

Now what’s hilarious is that even though the Ohio +7 looks impressive on its face, Trump won the state by nine points in 2016 and by seven in 2020 so basically, he’s already done about as well as he’s going to do. Rasmussen has Trump ahead nationally, by four points, whereas last week it was five. If Trump keeps losing one point a week, he’ll be up the creek by mid-September and that sounds about right.

In July he was six points over Joe Biden. Harris came in and he was five points over her. Now he’s four. Then he’ll be three, and two and one and then — poof! Gawn. Awwwl gawwn. Down the drain, into the sewers, where he belongs, giant orange turd that he is. Poor Donald.

And we’ll just kick back and watch it happen. Schadenfreude is best served room temperature with a side of revenge and don’t forget the crow.

  2. And all this polling doesn’t include the bias they have to the R side, which they brought in to favor Trump after the win against Hilary.

  3. Oh dear – calling Don the Con a ‘doughboy’ isn’t a good idea. Think on it – a ‘doughboy’ was a USA soldier in WW 1 (you know the one – where he couldn’t visit the war graves in case his hair arrangement got mussed).

    Mr Stay Puft may be better

  6. CONVICTED RAPIST AND FELON DON VON SHITZINPANTZ. While that title does not begin to describe the damage he has done, it is at lease a start. Other titles for him? How about the ANTI-CHRIST. The most prolific liar and loser in the history of the world. There are too many others to list but you get the idea!

  7. Trump owes SO MUCH to so many fines and even probably has investments from the MOB and Putin and other country oligarchs …

    ALL wanting a big piece of him as he falls like a giant chimney due to the blasting crew from Minnesota …

    Which amounts due to stay out of prison do you think he can cover now?

    He NEVER had any real billions of his own money, has juggled numbers in multiple file cabinets for years and NOW, juggling reams of top secret documents around without limited access, but rather showing many to guests at Mar-o-golf, AND, with the additional time since his original , “raid”, as he calls it, the lock-in on evidence against Trump, may have been expanded to full treason levels, of course, he has, with his very limited intelligence NEVER cared about the finer rules of security, blabbing directly to a couple of Russian agents, IN THE OVAL OFFICE, about secret agent activities elsewhere …

    BUT the most frustrating thing he has done, and it definitely wreaks of treason on a major level, we-the-people saw the SOB, take Putin’s word against our own intelligence crew, in a secret meeting Trump arranged with Putin in a back room, away from the presser out front, the interpreters were told to destroy their notes and remain silent about anything the two might have said … this was a time I came very close to destroying our TV set …

    His continued cavalier attitude about other people’s personal problems, saying whatever pops into those last two braincells he has been abusing lately …

    Of course, his violent, cruel self, while he sweats bullets of fear for himself could, call him into a dangerous mode of destroying people physically, throwing bottles of red goo AT people, instead of walls … And YET I have not heard that anyone has warned him of actual conditions required in prison and what he might find happening to him there …

    All personal belongings go into a box with his name on it, nothing to return until his release later, including his cell phone, nothing flammable, like several cans of hair spray … Nothing dangerous like certain chemicals, nothing with sharp edges, no personal electric shavers, no cigarettes’ and or lighters … NO house keys or car keys …

    With his luck, the batteries in his phone will self-destruct before they can give it back …
    With a couple of years of good behavior, he might be allowed to have a small black and white tv in his cell, he could actually earn a few bucks sweeping the halls … A quarter a day gets a candy bar out of the machine in the mess hall … Not to worry Don, a few days at a quarter rate does eventually add up …
