It still counts. We haven't even gotten to the hearings yet, so the effects of RBGs death are still to come. I'll quote wikipedia for this:Hahaha that's what everybody said when RBG died. Let's check back in on Halloween and see if you still think the very first thing that happened in October was "the surprise".
In American political jargon, an October surprise is a news event deliberately created or timed to influence the outcome of an election, particularly one for the U.S. presidency, or sometimes an event occurring spontaneously that has the same effect. |
An October surprise is not simply something that happens during or around October. It's most often something that a campaign holds onto and releases during October for maximum effect. Last time around it was the Access Hollywood tapes and the Spirit Cooking and emails, and in the spontaneous dept you had Comey's letter to congress. RBG's death very much has the effect of an October surprise, especially because the circus it is going to start will be concluding very close to the election.
Also yes, I am implying there that this is intentional on Trump's part. The way PCR tests are being run you can force a positive very easily. Since I also believe that Trump contracted WuFlu during the Spring at the time of his sudden taking HCQ he'll be able to test positive for anti-bodies as well despite not being *sick* right now. I realize it's a little tinfoily but it makes absolute sense to me especially with how COVID response is the man hammer the Dems are using to attack Trump.
