Kellyanne Conway recently shared some of her thoughts on the candidacy of far left Professor Cornel West.

During an appearance on FOX News on Tuesday, Conway suggested that West’s candidacy could decide the presidency in the same way that Ross Perot did in 1992.

In other words, if Cornel West peels off enough votes from Biden, it could swing the race.

Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

KELLYANNE CONWAY:Even if you don’t become president, you as a third-party candidate spoiler can decide who is the president. This happened in 1992 when we had Bush-41 as the incumbent and a guy named Bill Clinton, the Arkansas governor, got elected with 43.5% of the vote because Ross Perot got 19% of the popular vote, even though he didn’t rack up any electoral votes.

If you play to win and you are Cornel West, and you are still not satisfied with the trajectory of the Democratic Party being Progressive enough for you under a Biden/Harris administration, then you’ll run to the left of them. Number one.

Number two, he will make a play for people who feel forgotten and abandoned by the Democratic Party and feel like nobody is listening to them and including them. It’s part of how Trump won in 2016, but I think he can do it from the left.

Last point on this, we had an incumbent President Jimmy Carter in 1980 won 34/36 [primary] contests but Ted Kennedy won 12, including big states like California. And Ted Kennedy did not concede the nomination to Jimmy Carter until August or so, at the convention. Carter came out of that very damaged and as an incumbent president, lost to Ronald Reagan.

Watch the video below:

Kellyanne is exactly right about this.

As a result, expect to see Democrats and the media mount a major pressure campaign to get Cornel West out of the race.

The ‘Greater Idaho’ movement is gaining steam in Oregon.

People who live in the rural parts of Oregon are tired of having the political direction of their state controlled by far left voters in cities like Portland.

The whole thing is gaining so much support that even the liberal media is starting to take notice.

Oregon breakaway effort is down to just 8 votes, deepening urban-rural divide

A grassroots movement to redraw Oregon’s border is gaining traction after voters in 11 rural, conservative counties approved measures that would start the process of seceding from the blue state and joining Republican-dominated Idaho.

In Oregon’s Wallowa County, just eight votes separated those who support the Greater Idaho movement from those who oppose last week, the county clerk said. Tuesday is the deadline to resubmit ballots that either did not have signatures or had signatures that did not match county records.

“Our way of life here is based on agriculture, forestry, timber — it’s a resource-based economy, and it feels like that side over there treats us like their playground,” Wallowa resident Garrett Mahon said, referring to the western part of the state, where more voters are registered Democrats.

He said that if Multnomah County, home to Portland, “votes one way, it vetoes the rest of the state.”

It is the second time voters in the small county of Wallowa, surrounded by snow-capped peaks and glistening rivers, have weighed in on the issue. In 2020, residents struck down the idea of joining Idaho by 46 votes. This year, it is winning by just eight ballots.

The establishment does not want this to happen, so the movement is already being targeted.

The Oregon State Elections Division is actively “gathering information” to determine if members of the political advocacy group “Citizens for Greater Idaho” violated state voter laws.https://t.co/AV0SsKdVCp

The left knows this would set a disastrous precedent for them, so it must be stopped.

If it works, conservatives in other parts of the country will try to do the same thing.
