If Trump Loses In November, What Do You Think Happens Next

I can't see this with Biden. To go back to a career politician and a meager 401k. Jobs start to trickle back to China and elsewhere. Biden will sell out to special interest and our trading partners again. That's what he is. Big tax raise, no thanks.

Trump is genuinely for the average working ppl in this country. The poverty level for all Americans was the lowest since 1952 coupled with record low unemployment rates for all Americans. Trump will, and has fought harder for Americans than any other president of record. The hate and vitriol is real here so I'm going to leave this.

The campaign is over, Eric. Your dad lost.

[sterlingice]

Eric? Not even Don Jr? Man, that's harsh.

SI

[cuervo72]

I just want to know...when did DJT start caring about the average, working class guy? Because before all this President stuff, he sure didn't seem to display much.

I mean. Trolling on message boards is the job they'd give Eric to do, while they entrust Don Jr. to do real harm in the real world.

I feel like this is what you would get if someone programmed a bot to regurgitate FOX News talking points on text sim message boards.

Thank God this won't come down to a single state, because it could get very ugly if it did.

Trump campaign legal adviser: "We're waiting for the United States Supreme Court - of which the President has nominated three justices - to step in and do something. And hopefully Amy Coney Barrett will come through"

I disagree with much of what you said but agree with the last sentence.

I'm pretty sure his nonsense is her job.

None of the GOP A Team is involved in this shitshow.

No wait...please...don't go...Take your self inflicted victim complex somewhere else.

He had me at "his work ethic." Those golf balls can't hit themselves.

Of course there is a pending strategy to discredit, misdirect, or hijack this process. Probably several.

Right on cue... well, actually this was probably supposed to be saved for a little later after the laughable court challenges are laughed away by even the most true-believer judges...

Lindsey Graham, on Hannity, just raised the specter of the GOP legislature in PA appointing its own slate of electors to hand the state to Trump.

Here we go. If you liked "timely-filed ballots by confirmed American voters should be ignored," then you'll love "these certain states can send whomever they choose as electors, and those people will vote however the state party leaders instruct them to vote."

I can't imagine this goes anywhere, but who knows.

Because our country has "norms" and such? Because there are depths to which this group will not stoop? Because it would be dishonest and harmful to the country?

I hope I'm totally wrong, and you're right, and we have a laugh later about what a dope I was back at this point. Really hope so.

It just seems like the GOP A-Team is sitting this out and I think that's going to be enough when the problem is in multiple states.

But I could be wrong, and plenty of the GOP have shrouded themselves in disgrace already. The most dangerous ones are those competing to get the rose from Trump and/or Trump Jr.

[Ben E Lou]

I'm wondering if we're just days away from a ragequit. Seems like a given that in the next 24 hours, not only will the networks call it for Biden, but that by Monday it's 306 for him.

[Qwikshot]

Yanked from other thread:

So if/when Biden is declared the winner:

1. Months of litigation - will Republicans leadership support him?
2. Inauguration - will there be Republicans present?
3. Twitter - will it lock Trump out once he's a "civilian" for anything inflammatory?
4. When he goes on his rallies to state he was mobbed and argues for insurrection, will he be arrested?
5. Will Fox News and OAN or any other right wing site support him and will there be any means by the government to discredit?

I mean when the source of all potential domestic terrorism is the prior president, what do you do?

[Qwikshot]

It begins:

This also begins:

Special Counsel’s Office Opens Hatch Act Investigation Into Trump’s Use of White House for Campaign Events

[Galaril]

This seems most likely now”He fights the result but gives up shortly before the inauguration (let's define "shortly" as "some time after the EC meets on 12/14")

I agree Trump announces 2024 run in December and starts having rallies right away stirring insurrection. I would say he has Don Jr or Ivanka as his VP. My hope is criminal litigation takes them all down before 2024.

[QuikSand]

The fracture happening right now, and for the days/weeks ahead, among people with the active (R) label is pretty important for American democracy.

He'll pardon as many as he can.

Unfortunately, you are right about 2024. I do wish the repudiation was much more decisive but Trump will be the defacto leader for a while. The GOP is doing to be stepping on eggshells to not offend for the next 4 years. It would be great to have a GOP moderate as a leader.

[Atocep]

I don't think this stretches out too far. Once it becomes very clear Biden is the winner GOP leadership is going to start pressuring the White House to concede. What will be interesting is who can talk Trump into it. I'm guessing they'll see if Ivanka can talk some sense into him.

[JPhillips]

Eventually, the grown-ups will go back to the party and let the toddler cry himself out.

[stevew]

I think the Trump Party or the MAGA Party is probably a direct result of all of this. That way he/his spawn don’t even have to pretend to care about the GOP. Just fundraise for as long as you can and pay for play on endorsements

[AlexB]

Do you see there being enough for him to be removed before the usual time due to mental incapacity to carry out the role? A few Republicans seem fairly condescending about his tirade yesterday.

[Atocep]

I'm curious if we get concession speech. I honestly can see him conceding without a speech. I'm not sure he has it in him to get in front of the cameras and admit defeat.

[Ben E Lou]

Shocking...

Trump described as angry, frustrated and watching TV nonstop with no appearances currently expected, @kaitlancollins reports.

So a normal day minus a round of golf.

[Ben E Lou]

CNN's repeated mischaracterizations of the uncounted ballots probably isn't going to help matters. Don't know if this error keeps getting made in other places, but I'm sure I've heard various iterations of this dozens of times: "these new ballots coming in...errrrr....I mean the ballots being counted that were cast on or before election day that are just now being counted." It's a conspiracy video waiting to happen. "OMG LOOK HOW MANY TIMES THE LIBRUL MEDIA ADMITTED THEY ADDED BALLOTS!!!"

That's how they've always referred to them, so I'll give them a pass for slipping up on that. Only this year we run into the conspiracy issue.

I think his concession "speech" will just be a tweet where he never congratulates Biden and complains about how unfair this election was on his way out the door

Yeah, I've caught myself restating it when talking with my wife. I've been saying Arizona might flip back to Trump instead of Trump may win Arizona after some outlets predicted Biden would win it.

From a source close to the WH: “The legal operation is designed for Trump to save face and ultimately give him the ability to say he didn’t lose the election fair and square. So we’re going to roll with it.” https://t.co/8vFun5OjNf

— Jacqueline Alemany (@JaxAlemany) November 7, 2020

[sterlingice]

Sounds plausible. But he's definitely still going to use that legal fund to pay himself

SI

[Atocep]

They'll concede when donations toward the "legal fund" dry up.

[Thomkal]

I don't think anyone had the We will not concede speech in the parking lot of a landscaping business?

[claphamsa]

next to a sex shop, and a crematorium!

[JPhillips]

God, I hope we learn that Four Seasons Landscaping was a mistake when they were expecting The Four Seasons.

[ISiddiqui]

I guarantee that is what it was. This administration is basically a season of Veep.

This is the terrifying reality of the world post election and the danger we're facing from this group of people who are sold, lock, stock and barrel that they have the answers.

[Brian Swartz]

There have always been and always will be people like that.

[JPhillips]

I love John Fetterman.

Hey, Governor Patrick- it’s your counterpart in Pennsylvania.

I’d like to collect your handsome reward for reporting voter fraud.

I got a dude in Forty Fort, PA who tried to have his dead mom vote for Trump.

I’d like mine in Sheetz gift cards pls.

Maybe the Dems paid him to $131,000 to recant.

Seeing that he denies recanting now. So that's cool.
