Where is Don reporting from and what is the Swing State road trip about?
Greetings and tales from the road. We're so happy that you can join us on Lemon Live at 5. We never know what's going to happen on the road. Sometimes the reception is good. Sometimes it's not so good. But we're glad that you're here, and we're going to share your comments and take some of your questions and show you. We've got a bunch of things that we want to talk about. We're live from... the road in Georgia, Augusta. We have gone through a bunch of places that we're going to show you as we continue on with the Lemon Line of Five. So, so glad that you're here. Hello, Don, says Maureen. Good to see you, Gino. Greetings, Lemon Nation. So good that you guys are here. Live long. So, Marsha Miller, hello. Hello, everyone.
Listen, so while we have good service, I'm going to get right to it because I'm going to share some tales from the road some new polling that may calm your fears, right? That's why I said, don't get too anxious, be cautiously optimistic, but don't get overcome. Okay. I know that's a lot, but. Everybody take a deep breath. And we're going to talk about this whole idea that Trump, not an idea that Trump is a fascist. We know that he has fascist tendencies. His language is the language of fascists and fascism. And also we're going to talk about polling. Okay, so let's start with the tales from the road. I just want to show you just one of the last things we saw because we went from Jacksonville and then overnight we ended up in Georgia, of course.
The last person we spoke to in Jacksonville, just so you know, and this is Florida, and very excited. This person was very excited about voting for, let's see who. Here it is. Are you undecided? No, no, I'm not. Can I talk to you? Yeah, who are you? How are you? I'm Don Lemon. Nice to meet you.
Oh, Don Lemon. Hey, how are you? Good to see you.
How are you feeling about the election?
You know, I think it's going to be too close for comfort, and I'll be a little bit disappointed if it goes a particular way.
What are the issues you're voting on?
Survival of democracy. The Harris team is going to be better overall for the future of the country. January 6th was absolutely crazy.
How are you feeling about the polls and the potential outcome of the election?
Yeah, it looks extremely, extremely close. And we probably won't, maybe won't know the first night. I'm hoping it's not a repeat of the Hillary Trump election, which was kind of a surprise. Trump tends to under-poll, so that's a possibility.
Yeah, but you're in Florida. You're red.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's the thing. My vote's probably not going to end up counting too much, but there could be a surprise.
No, no, your vote counts. I don't agree when people say that. I think every single vote counts, right?
Yeah, unfortunately, we haven't done a constitutional amendment to make a popular vote across the nation yet. We still have the kind of antiquated electoral college, but we'll see what happens.
So this gentleman is very popular on our social media. By the way, these things we're putting on social media... a lot of them, all of them. And so you can see them there as well. But because I think there are lots of people who believe that the electoral college system is antiquated and it needs to, you know, there needs to be some change as it relates to the electoral college. Okay. But he is in red Florida and he believes that it's going to be okay. So maybe his vote doesn't really count. I don't believe that, but you know, okay. As we were making our way from Florida to Georgia, We bumped into some folks. I thought they would be from Georgia. Turns out they were not. And when I was telling you earlier, you cannot judge people.
You cannot judge a book by its cover, meaning you cannot judge on ethnicity. You cannot judge on gender. You cannot judge on looks. As we arrived, upcoming station in Georgia, we ran into two gentlemen who were veterans. And to me, a bit surprising as to who they're supporting. Here it is. Welcome to Georgia, a battleground state. Who's going to win? Is it going to be red or blue? Is it going to be Kamala Harris or Donald Trump?
