Ricofoley Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 11 minutes ago, Massdriver said: I think the most likely scenario is Trump will cast as much doubt as possible on the results, claiming mail in ballot fraud and illegal voting if he loses. If it gains traction, he may feel like he could try to pull something more drastic. There was a district in update NY that had a special election during their primary last month. I don't know the number offhand. I guess the results were something like R+30 on election night and had shrunk all the way down to about R+5 once the mail-in vote was counted. So if the election night vs. mail-in swing is that dramatic nationwide, that is something that's in the back of my mind--that Republicans would hold up the margin itself as evidence that of course the mail-in vote is rigged.

But surely the guy who still maintains that the election he WON was unfairly rigged against him will accept the results of an election he loses?

SaysWho? Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 Careful about South Carolina. Trump was up by only 2 - 4 the few times it was polled in 2016. He was up once by 15 in September, and he won by around 14. It's hard to know what happened, though, in the sense that we don't have a ton of polling to see if it changed dramatically in the last two weeks of 2016 or if the polling in South Carolina was just mostly bad. It's made harder since there was no polling there in October/November. 1 hour ago, Massdriver said: I wish we could just have the election now. I think Biden would win and Trump's reign would be over. I believe Biden will probably win, but there is plenty of time for Trump to come back and a lot can happen.

Joe Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 So I'm the last person ever to cite anecdotal evidence as proof of anything, but my brother-in-law just told me that my sister and he registered to vote for the first time in both their lives to make sure Trump does not win. Pretty neat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Trump loses, I want to see clips like this happen at Fox News, at OANN, and at the White House. I want to see a full-blown scorched earth Trump meltdown on Twitter. I want to see tons of MAGAchud social media postings saying how this country is now doomed to communism and the far left, and will move to Canada (without any sense of irony) That's the only thing that would make this shitty fucking year worthwhile.
