He always blames someone else, so who will that be?.. Pelosi? Obama? Ryan? Pence? Jared? Trump Jr?
Ivanka? New York Times? Woodward? ..Who will that be? I haven't got a clue.

(25,111 posts)corrupted has always been the Democratic Party and Russia, and his supporters will and always will believe that Democrats are the devil.

(22,776 posts)He was sure he was going to lose the election and he spent a lot of time positioning himself as the victim of a rigged system as the election approached. But he still managed to accuse "them" of rigging the election to get the majority of the popular vote. Remember those 3 million illegal immigrants who vote in New Hampshire?

(58,724 posts)Watch that section of the speech - it is completely incoherent.
"If the opposite party becomes president every time before it even starts before you even found out whether or not he or she is going to do a great job they'll say we want to impeach em and you'll impeach em it's so ridiculous but we'll worry about that if it ever happens, but if it does happen, it's your fault because you didn't go out to vote. Ok? You didn't go out to vote. That's the only way it could happen."
It seems like the thing that could happen that he is referring to is the opposite party becoming president.
Also, it is basically just a big rambling nonsensical mess.

Hortensis
(58,785 posts)I've been worrying about this ever since he was elected. He has to be often angry at the "betrayals" and "ingratitude" of the people, and we know he's extremely vengeful. He's of course always targeted blue state residents for harm. But more generally speaking, such as with the tax heist and breaking his promises with healthcare, so far we don't know which of his actions may have been aimed squarely at us out of spite.

(48,955 posts)Both of those would be consistent with his tendency to project.
In the first - attempts to rig (voter suppression and other party tricks) fail. So Deep State Rigged it!
In the latter - suddenly he believes Russia meddling - but see as he said all along, they were for Clinton and against him - and we can end the Mueller probe because we all now see it is Russia. (A two-fer one.)

EXCERPTS FROM THE OFFICIAL DICTIONARY OF REPUBLICANESE
In Republicanese, many words that sound alike may be spelled differently at random. A few prominent examples:
In Republicanese, the following words may be spelled at random using any of the three ways given:
A.) Two, Too, To
B.) Their, They're, There
c.) Your, Yore, You're
The Republicanese version of Robin Hood therefore starts with "In days of you're...."
The only rule is that the correct use of them as in English is never permitted twice in a row.
Words with single letters that change meaning when that letter is doubled must never be used in correct English context. The classic example is lose vs. loose. In Republicanese, if you do not win an election, then you loose that election. Conversely, if your (Republicanese: youre) belt is too tight, you need it more lose in order to be comfortable. Another example would be the Republicanese, I met Donald Trump, and he was rudder than I imagined, vs. I grabbed the ruder and was able to steer the boat to shore.
In Republicanese, an apostrophe is used to form a plural, but it must be done at random, never systematically. For example, Bill and Hillary are "the Clinton's," but Bill, Chelsea and Hillary are "the Clintons." The other way around is also correct. In Republicanese, either form is correct as long as it is not spelled the same way twice in a row.
