October Surprise 2024

[Dutch Uncle]

What will be the October surprise in 2024? I doubt Putin will release his honey pot tapes of Trump, but Pedo Island tapes are still a possibility.

Trump committed so many crimes and abuses of office as President and now so many of his staffers have collected evidence his malfeasance that, IMO, much of that evidence will most certainly come to light. As Haley's Presidential run proved; about a third of Republicans don't want Trump as President.

As the link below points out, due to the American penchant for marathon election seasons, the "October Surprises" may pop up at any time and over the course of the year.

In previous Presidential election years, there has often been at least one “October Surprise.” They are known by that term for two reasons. One is, they occur in the closing days leading up to a November general election when significant numbers of voters, finalize their voting choices. Secondly, the nature and time of an October Surprise is widely unexpected, either because it was deliberately planned and launched late, or it happened spontaneously without preplanning. Either way, an October Surprise is broadly covered by the media and can play a huge role in changing election outcomes, especially in close elections.

The Republican party and the Democratic party are already experiencing widespread and significant media news coverage of October Surprise-like events.

Three attorneys to date have pled guilty and are cooperating with Georgia prosecutors on determining the level of involvement of Donald Trump in alleged illegal actions after the 2020 presidential election. This news will help Trump’s opponents for the GOP presidential nomination and the eventual Democratic presidential nominee to make a case that Trump is unfit to serve again.

Democratic Party strategist James Carville recently said publicly that President Biden’s reelection numbers are "not good". Carville has also said on the record that when he tells Democratic leaders that Biden is in trouble, they don’t disagree with him, they just tell him to keep it to himself." Nobody is saying, ‘James, you’re wrong," he said. "They’re saying, ‘James, you can’t say that.’"...

Now more than ever presidential campaigns are a muti-year marathon rather than a several-month sprint before a November election. Accordingly, multiple October Surprise-like events are highly likely to occur early and often between now and the November 2024 presidential election.

I know one October surprise that won't be coming for sure.
My good for nothing Red Sox won't be playing in the post season.

This team in spring training now could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch.
With the Scarlet Hose being unwatchable, does this mean I'll be stuck watching MSNBC all summer?

That will do wonders for my blood pressure as well.

An October surprise won't matter for Trump. There could be video of him decapitating a grandmother and his base would ask what she did to deserve it. He could go full Glitch McConnell at a rally and they'd claim it was Chinese mind control satellites.
