Prepare for the October Surprise

For those of you who aren't political aficionado's, i.e. real average Americans, an "October Surprise" is some bit of news or fiction that seriously hurts a candidate and that is released so close to an election that the candidate doesn't have time to change people's minds.

It's essentially an underhanded tool since unless the people who release the information only acquired it in October they were sitting on it and intentionally released it late to prevent the target from defending herself.

The most recent "October Surprise" didn't happen in October; the Ford accusations against Kavanaugh.  They were released after the hearings were over after being sat on for months by the Democrats.  They fell apart under scrutiny but the clear intent was that they would derail Kavanaugh before his supporters could demonstrate that the charges just weren't credible.

If Kavanaugh had been up for election he wouldn't have had time to show that Ford's charges weren't credible which is the whole purpose of the "October Surprise".

With Democrats hell bent on getting power and demonstrating support for anything, including violence, that will give them power it's not unreasonable to think that they will unleash a #FakeNews Hail Mary play right before the election.

We need to be ready to tell everyone we know why whatever gets released is bogus to prevent another Democrat Big Lie from impacting the election.

Here are a few of the possible Big Lie's that the Democrats could go with:

1) Mueller concludes that Trump didn't actually do anything wrong but writes his report in such a way as to make it appear that Trump did do something wrong.

2) The train of illegal invaders are stopped at the border but since they lead with women and children and they are willing to use violence some innocent people are hurt.  The Democrats and the media will label the Republicans as monsters because they won't let thousands of young men enter the US illegally.

3) The Democrats, who are cool with the murders of the Iranian regime, try and portray Trump as a monster because he doesn't cut off all US interaction with Saudi Arabia because they killed a subversive Islamist.

4) The Democrats produce some anonymous claims about Trump being mentally unfit.

5) The Democrats produce some former paramour of Trump who claims he assaulted her.

While things are appearing to look better for Republicans in the upcoming election we have to remember we're fighting a party that has adopted the Nazi tactic of armed thugs attacking political opponents, Antifa, and the Communist tactic of censoring speech that they don't like, Google et al, so we need to be prepared to counter whatever lies the Democrats might spew just before the election.
