2020 Post-Election Thread...let's talk about it

I know Kemp is not a Trump fan, but what do you think the chances are he'd throw him a bone?

I'm going to say he's disinclined to do Trump any favors this time around:

LOL does anybody actually believe that Trump has any intention at all of presenting anything at some press conference? Here's a guy who could never be bothered to read any of his briefings and never gives detailed answers to any questions that require previous preparation or thought, but he's now going to make a presentation like he's a PhD candidate? This ought to be good. Kind of like the time his health care plan was about to drop any second like Chinese Democracy...

I wonder if the large, complex, and detailed (you're right, as if Trump would ever read anything complex or detailed) will also include his full coverage health insurance plan that will be cheaper for all Americans, confirmation that Mexico paid for the now-completed wall, and proof the budget has been balanced and the national debt will be eliminated by the end of his second term.

I kind of miss his daily tweets with all the random capitalization.

He got fired from his job for being an incompetent boob who messed everything up and got nothing done. The old retired manager had to come out of retirement to take over for a while. Now this unqualified moron is reapplying for that same job claiming he was never fired and that the old manager is really the one who is messing things up. I could go on with the allegory but it's kind of exhausting talking about this a-hole.

If you aren't yet convinced that Trump is a cult for some people, read the replies to this tweet (I know that I am not talking to a population here that really needs to hear that).

Grand jury indictment coming tomorrow in Georgia case.

This is the one that I thought would be indisputable given the recorded phone call where trump clearly asks for election fraud.

This is an example of why I can't understand what Trump supporters think. He is recorded here trying to strongarm local election officials from his own party into changing the results of an election just because it wasn't the result he wanted "you can just say you made a mistake and we found these additional ballots, etc."

How do his supporters justify it?

It didn't really happen, the recording is fake
Or
We don't care. We want our guy in power and it doesn't matter if the vote count is really correct or not

What other justifications?

The messaging is already out there. It's being portrayed that "find me 11000 votes" is in the context of Trump's true belief that he really won Georgia, so he wants Raffensperger to due his due diligence and find those valid votes for him.

Just saw this free wapo article today. It wasn't just Georgia that Trump's team was calling. And it sounds like there's other calls just as damning:

I've seen polls today that show a percentage as high as 63% of Americans would not consider voting for Trump if he is the nominee. It's crazy to me that the GOP is going to take this horse to the race. He cannot win.

The problem is that Biden has one of the lowest approval ratings in history. So if enough independents decide to either sit out or vote 3rd party, this could get dicey.

ha- if Trump is on the menu I don't think we'd see that. As I'm sure you're aware Biden got the most votes in a presidential election in history. And it wasn't because of his amazing platform.

And it turns out that's just the tip of the iceberg of his shenanigans in Georgia. 18 codefendants named and 30 undisclosed and yet to be indicted? Yowza. He is toast. That is going to be a 4th of July 3-legged-race to the prosecutor's office among codefendants looking for a deal. Delicious.

That's a dumb stat. I am talking about his current numbers. 54% disapprove, 40% approve.

I remember in 2016 I expressed concerns that Trump could actually win and was consistently mocked on this board.

Yeah it is a dumb stat if you use it to argue that Biden is the most popular president of all time. Out of the 2 known entities we all know which one is winning.

I don't think Biden has been quite the disaster he is made out to be. His age and his choice for VP are concerning.
