Q NOTES DAY 234: The Red Mirage and Other Illusions

If you know a transcript exonerates you, you hand over the transcript. If you know a DNA sample proves you're innocent, you provide the sample. If you know your income taxes are legit, you release the returns. And if you know you won an election, you let all the votes be counted.

Gradually beginning to calm down as I read reports suggesting Biden may win this deal after all. I'm reminded that a day or so before the Tuesday election, there were numerous stories about Cheez Whiz's subdued demeanor. He was looking and talking like a guy whose staff finally persuaded him that he was going to lose the Rust Belt states that gave him a "win" over Hillary, and that he had no path to 270 without them.

There were also stories about a "red mirage." Cheezy's advantage in election day in-person voting totals would create a short-term illusion that he had huge leads in those three states, and since the leads weren't sustainable, the red team would take a stab at stopping the vote counting while he still had the "huge lead."

We now know the red mirage was a real thing, and Cheezy's doing exactly what it was predicted he'd do. The reason I'm revisiting the matter is this: Pennsylvania may have been a state that Cheezy's own internal polls told him he would lose. 

I'm not saying it is, but maybe, just maybe, that big lead in PA is also part of the same red mirage that vanished in Wisconsin and Michigan. If it is, that would be something to behold at my headquarters. Maybe he already knows he'll lose PA.
