An \u201cindependent\u201d smiley-face cookie garnered 7% (397 cookies).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe cookie poll will remain open until Election Day on Nov. 5, so the tallies reflect the result of \u2018early voting\u2019 by those with a sweet tooth,\u201d The Post noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe like to joke and say [customers] can stuff the ballot box,\u201d bakery president and CEO Dan Busken told the outlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Post adds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>To contribute data, customers simply purchase the cookie of their preferred candidate online or at one of Busken\u2019s four area stores.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Each cookie purchase counts as a single vote, and there is no limit to how many a customer can buy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Despite the lack of scientific rigor, the \u201cpoll\u201d has been remarkably accurate in the 10 elections it\u2019s predicted so far. The only result it\u2019s missed was last year\u2019s victory by Democrat Joe Biden.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Trump leads Cincinnati \u2018cookie\u2019 poll that has predicted every election but one since 1984 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/i515pEl2h6\">https:\/\/t.co\/i515pEl2h6<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/leEiF9uEFa\">pic.twitter.com\/leEiF9uEFa<\/a><\/p>&mdash; New York Post (@nypost) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nypost\/status\/1838304750057439256?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 23, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur results, out of our four retail stores, kind of cover the north, south, east and west portions of Cincinnati. So they\u2019re pretty diverse,\u201d Busken told the outlet. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely interesting that in a state like Ohio and in a city like Cincinnati that there\u2019s been such accuracy in this cookie poll over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the longest time, Ohio was considered a battleground state, but it has been trending red in recent cycles. Trump won the state twice \u2014 in 2016 and 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump\u2019s 2024 campaign has been&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/conservativebrief.com\/trump-position-2-85897\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">notable<\/a>&nbsp;for many reasons\u2014most unfortunately, for the two assassination attempts against him\u2014but politically speaking, it stands out because of his willingness to embrace figures with different points of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump has managed to attract three former Democrats \u2014 billionaire Elon Musk, former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the latter of whom ran for president as an Independent after his party shunned his candidacy in favor of anointing Vice President Kamala Harris as President Biden\u2019s successor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Sunday, during Sharyl Attkisson\u2019s syndicated show \u201cFull Measure,\u201d the anchor asked Trump if he had any \u201cspecific positions\u201d in mind for the the trio of former Democrats should he manage to retake the White House following the November election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThree people, by the way, who were Democrats or, in the case of Musk, I don\u2019t know, at least supported Democrats. What specific positions do you see them holding?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump said that so far, he had not made a commitment to any of them, but he did praise RFK Jr.\u2019s work to make the country healthier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI mean, he\u2019s been fighting for this for years,\u201d Trump said. \u201cHe looks at other countries where they don\u2019t use chemicals, or they use much less than we use. And the people are healthier than they are in the United States, which is not that healthy a country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also praised Kennedy\u2019s views on the environment, which have been decidedly left-leaning in the past, while also lauding Gabbard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ll be energy independent, but we\u2019ll actually be energy dominant again. And we\u2019re gonna make a lot of money. We\u2019re gonna pay off debt, we\u2019re gonna pay down debt, and we\u2019re going to do things that nobody would\u2019ve thought possible. But Bobby\u2019s great,\u201d said Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTulsi has always been good from the standpoint of common sense. She\u2019s like a common sense person. I\u2019ve watched her for a long time on shows. I\u2019ve known her a little bit. And it was a great honor when we got her. She\u2019s, you\u2019re right. She was a Democrat and popular too, in Hawaii. And she will be, she will be terrific,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attkisson then moved to question Trump about a potential administration role for Musk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell, Elon is Elon. I mean, Elon is, he\u2019s endorsed me very powerfully,\u201d Trump said. \u201cHe feels this is the most important election we\u2019ve ever had. And as you know, he probably has a couple of other things to do, but \u2013 \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The anchor then interrupted to ask whether Musk would have a role in eliminating&nbsp;\u201cgovernment waste.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe\u2019s a big cost cutter,\u201d Trump said. \u201cHe is always been very good at it and I\u2019m good at it. But Elon, I\u2019ll tell you what, he will go in and he\u2019ll say, \u2018This is what you have to do. You have to do this.\u2019 He is so into that. He feels there\u2019s so much waste and fat in this country. And he\u2019s right,\u201d Trump noted.<\/p>\n<div class=\"684f6003e199ca137b09540a661b4c2d\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<!-- Composite Start -->\r\n<div id=\"M940464ScriptRootC1583286\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script src=\"https:\/\/jsc.adskeeper.com\/k\/o\/kohajone.press.1583286.js\" async>\r\n<\/script>\r\n<!-- Composite End -->\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Donald Trump got another anecdotal piece of evidence on Monday that is good news for his third White House bid.
