This concern about Trump NOT leaving has been quietly floating around in the national media for a while…
Frankly I think its NOT a worry about stepping down…
Donald Trump as President gets his power form people doing what he wants….
My feeling is that the second AP would call the election FOR Joe Biden by popular vote, but more directly by the states electoral votes?
Donald Trump’s ‘power’ begins slipping away….
By the next morning?
Republicans in the Trump admin will begin to notice that their phone calls will slow to almost a halt…Favors and influence will be viewed in the terms of the incoming admin…
Political people in the Trump admin will be thinking with upset stomachs when they come to work…They will be thinking about the staff people that they shitted on , having some else to replay what was going on during the Trump hour show…
Trump losing is gonna be a bonaza for lawyers and book companies ….
Biden SHOULD have people tracking the electors themselves to assure that Trump & Co. doesn’t try to get to them….
Trump ranting about mail-in voting fraud has always been make believe….
And YES….
One WOULD assume that the Russians WOULD try help Trump while Iranian’s and Chinese would try to help Biden win…
Democrats on the other hand?
They WILL be getting the phone calls, job requests and whistleblower whisper’s….
We have seen in the last two week’s that the pentagons military leadership ALREADY has let it be known that they want NO part of Donald Trump’s political stuff….Not with NATO or most recently being fronted as his ‘storm trooper’s against the American people in Washington , DC or elseware…
No ….
Joe Biden IS right to get this off the table now…
So that it isn’t being seriously something for us to worry about come next January …
Of Course?
I COULD be wrong….
But I don’t think so….
Now Donald Trump showing for a Joe Biden swearing in?
Hmmmm?
If Donald Trump is re-elected?
We’re FUCKED….
Joe Biden says his chief worry is that President Donald Trump will attempt to “steal” the November election, and the Democratic challenger says he’s even considered the possibility that the Republican incumbent would refuse to leave the White House should he lose. Trump’s press secretary accused Biden of trafficking in “conspiracy theories.”
“My single greatest concern: This president’s going to try and steal this election,” Biden said on “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah,” which aired Wednesday night. “This is a guy who said all mail-in ballots are fraudulent, voting by mail, while he sits behind the desk in the Oval Office and writes his mail-in ballot to vote in the primary.”
Biden was asked whether he’s considered what would happen if Trump refused to vacate the presidency in the event he wasn’t reelected. “I have,” Biden said, before suggesting that the military could step in to ensure a peaceful transition of power.
“I am absolutely convinced they will escort him from the White House with great dispatch,” the former vice president said.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany responded that Biden was taking “a ridiculous proposition.”
“This president’s looking forward to November,” McEnany told Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom.” “This president’s hard at work for the American people. And leave it to Democrats to go out there and grandstand and level these conspiracy theories.”…

Cillizza’s been crying ever since Sanders lost….
Don’t know too much about Cillizza. When I have heard him, I never thought he contributed a lot to the discussion. I didn’t know he was a Sanders supporter.
Out of curiosity, I looked up articles by Cillizza on Sanders. I found a pretty balanced piece from April of this year about Sanders’s well-acknowledged contributions to the Democratic Party. I’m getting the sense that this blog will take pot shots at anything to do with Sanders. So unproductive.
Ok…
I DO admit I WAS pushing HARD for Biden
Ur Right RE.,..
But I DID think ole Chris wasn’t ‘fair’ either ….
I DID pick the winner early on..
The guys broke my balls for my choice
But i got it right….
Incidentally?
I had Klobuchar for the Biden VP choice
But i’m now going with Susan Rice as the pick
Maybe i can go 2-2!?
I get your strong support for Biden. I don’t think Susan Rice will be the VP choice, she is too much like Biden. We have to think general election excitement. I don’t know yet who, but when we get a better sense, I think the choice will seem inevitable.
I follow him on Twitter
He’s a good pundit
But when Biden pulled ahead he seemed to be crying for Sanders after it was evident that Biden was gonna be the one…
Listen?
Pundits ARE regular people too
Most of the none conservative one’s where for Sanders , then Warren…
The next morning?
You better worry about the next week.
Due to the spread of mail in and increased use Of absentee voting,unless it is a blowout ?
The result might not be known for days after the Tuesday Election Day.
Yea Jack,…
THAT seems to be a something that could happen…
Mail-in’s will increase
But actually?
Voting in person IS being done also in the recent primaries and some of increased numbers …
There have no reports of significant spikes in virus after the primary voting…
Biden HAS to get a good EV ..,.
Trump today said suggested the end of the Civil War was “questionable”
The last candidate who wanted to be President of the Confederacy this bad was George Wallace!
Some media people are saying Trump IS more like early Wallace then Nixon who he has said he admires….
Image THAT?
Nixon?
Donald Trump a complete failure in foreign policy and Nixon?
