I want to believe this. I really do. Maybe the surprise will be that it really did happen.
But I'm not confident. I'm expecting it to be razor-thin, with results unclear even days later.
He's gonna call it at an hour after polls close in nevada (red mirage) and just spam lawsuits in every swing state. He'll then point at those lawsuits as proof that he won and the election is stolen. We'll have to wait until December to see if the Supreme Court crowns him king.
Yup exactly this. Republicans tend to vote early and be in areas that get counted faster; It’s easier to count 1000 rural votes than it is to count 10000 urban votes. So he’ll take the early numbers and declare victory, then send it all the way to the SCOTUS when the blue votes begin to catch up. And (unless something drastically shifts and there is a major upset in the court) the SCOTUS will hand it to him.
He probably get the courts to shut down voting like they during Gore and courts will make him the winner just to find out to late that he lost by huge numbers.
I swear if that happens and we don't shut down this country with a general strike then America is done.
Yeah, I'm not expecting anything less than razor thin margins. Either side has it.
He never had a huge lead
Yes. I don't want that part to be true. I'll take a narrow victory any time, though.
So why did you post it?
It's helpful to hear what's out in the information pool not just what you want to believe.
Exactly. It is also information like this that motives other events.
The other point is that, as the latest from Nate Silver,
Reversing the past week's polling showing the GOP and MAGA gaining. So even if you didn't believe the previous polls about this, the fact that the polls themselves are starting to now trend blue is interesting in and of itself.
The walls of Mar a Lago will run red with ketchup tonight!
He created his own surprise by giving a mic a blowjob on the stage. Just another day with the Orange Turd leading a MAGA idiot charge.
Looking fresh
Such a manly man. Pretending to give a blow job...
YMCA plays in background
"I am the next Hitler." Where are you all going? That's it, lawsuit! I win.
Took the mask of just a little bit to soon.
With Musk on his side, I'm waiting for them to announce lawsuits trying to sue voters for trying to leave the GOP
Other than the Puerto Rico joke, what else was bad in it? I mean to actually affect anything because it's amazing how much insanity some people have accepted.
Here's a list from just that rally:
Just fucking up and admitting the republican party under trump is Nazis.
Oh, wait, I forgot, It'S jUsT a JoKe just like every other time they've seen a negative reaction to their bigotry.
Man i may have to nominate him for the noble prize if Trump loses. Man may have single handedly saved the democracy.
If hes smart his come back tour will be titled 'your welcome' and it'll riff on just white people.
Calling Latinos in the crowd at the event evidence of illegal border crossing, racist stereotype about blacks, racist stereotype against jews, a few more. None of it was funny, all of it was offensive, and very few of the crowd responded well to it. It was cringeworthy.
You mean to tell me that a Republican snatched defeat from the jaws of victory?
I hate to surprise the author, but it's November.
The racist joke was made in October.
"Trump blasts critics slamming him for his unexpected 'October Surprise-gate'..." when do I get my press credentials?
