Americans have already rejected Don the Con

[malaise]

His fall will be stupendous, historic. Don't rule out the possibility that he jumps ship before November.
ReTHUG will be wiped out. The US will need prisons not emergency hospitals by then because men (and women) are grabbing what they can with tasteless haste.
That is all.

[Lulu KC]

1. I believe you

But now we're watching voting's life being attempted. I'm finally figuring out what's going on with the post office and we are close to the edge. Like the scene in the movie when one tire is over the edge of the road by the cliff and the ocean's below.

206 days until the election.

[TimeToGo]

46. I want to believe

[jrthin]

2. Please, please, let this be true.

[exboyfil]

3. They only have to screw with the voting in one state

We saw a trial run on Tuesday (150 voting sites down to 5 in Milwaukee during a pandemic).

[Wounded Bear]

4. It wouldn't surprise me if he jumps ship so Pence can pardon him in the lame duck period...

[shockey80]

7. He does have a history of quitting when he knows he is going to lose.

If Trump jumped ship I would get drunk and celebrate like never before.

[Talitha]

28. I'll put party balloons on the lawn and crank the music to the max.

[calimary]

52. I'll go off my diet!

Chocolate and maybe a little champagne. And more chocolate!

I have lost 30 pounds though. Since early November.

[subana]

58. that's true

he does have a history of doing that when there's no other way out.

I would celebrate too! I'm sure most of the country would too!!

[DENVERPOPS]

47. Somewhat agree

Although, I don't think Trump will voluntarily quit. The Republican Senate will possibly pull something to get him out of there, install Pence and another order following VP. Then the can say, yes we saw the problem and now it is safe to vote Republican once again.

Or, with Putin's skills, they will be confident in cheating on the election, winning the election by hook or by crook, and keep on keeping on......

The republicons have come way too far to not reach their goal of a Corporate Fascist Tyranny in the 2020 election....

There will be alot of "20-20" hindsight going on after Nov 3rd.......(pardon the pun)

[FM123]

5. I wouldn't be surprised if he jumps ship. He is equally a con and a coward.

[JeaneRaye]

54. He's NOT going to quit!

Donald Trump is planning on remaining for life; it's the only thing that's keeping him free from prison. He cannot be indicted for any crimes as long as he is POTUS. The minute he is not President, he will face indictments for multiple crimes. I think he won't lose, because there may not even be an election. And if there is, he will say the Democrats cheated, or some such nonsense. Bottom line though, is I don't think he will go quietly. I hope I'm wrong.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

55. He's a con, a coward, and a cheerleader.

The word missing from that list is "competent."

[TEB]

6. You thinking malaise

The con and family may try and pull a Ceausescu and flee

[malaise]

10. Well let me put it this

Given his deplorable base, he'd be brave to try that for it may end the same way. Hell hath no fury like a cult scorned, kangaroo court and all.

[safeinOhio]

8. I'm glad you said it.

Most of the things I predict turn out bad.

So, I'm saying he'll keel over from an aneurysm.

[MontanaMama]

9. From your lips

to the vessels in his fat orange skull.

[malaise]

12. I see what you did there

[safeinOhio]

13. Amen Brother.

[malaise]

11. Well should that happen I'll do what I haven't done in at least 40 years

[LakeArenal]

14. I believe that could happen.

But in any event... Dump is going to be crushed in Nov.

I’m positive.

[malaise]

15. You know his entire life is a metaphor for a fucking virus

He will pay for this

[LakeArenal]

16. For me just ousting him will be heaven.

The rest of his demise can flounder along for ever.

[Peacetrain]

17. From your lips to God's ears

and I hope it is the worst defeat ever ...

[LakeArenal]

18. More from my lips to Sanders supporters and Green Party folks.

[Peacetrain]

19. That too!!!

[malaise]

22. He exhibits less and less energy at each of his propaganda rallies

The good news he that he has no clue how to change his approach - he's a one trick pony and his worn out trick doesn't work on Covid-19 because people are seeing reality in their home communities.
Yesterday he cut and ran early.
The holey moran emperor is naked and that is a truly awful sight to behold

[LakeArenal]

20. But happy Easter, girlfriend

[Peacetrain]

21. Same for you LakeArenal..

It is going to be a quiet one this year.. but hopes spring eternal for next

[LakeArenal]

23. 🌻💐🐥🐣🐝🦋🐛🌅❣️🇺🇸👍🏻🤞🏼🥰

[Bonx]

24. Donald Trump is done. This the beginning of the end.

[jaysunb]

25. The way to make him quit would be to start talking about all the

Things the new administration will be prosecuting him and his family and enablers for. The only way he doesn't get some jail time is to resign and let Pence pardon him for the federal crimes and try to cut a deal w/ Cumo on State charges that the statue of limitations have not run out on. Or the only other path would be to refuse to relinquish power.
Trump is highly susceptible to rumors be they true or not and this kind of talk would surely go viral.

[malaise]

26. You win the internet for the week

That said I want him and his spawn in prison

[jaysunb]

27. Lol ! He's going to throw his spawn overboard, so at least there's that. N/T

[malaise]

30. I always wonder why his children are so loyal to him

If it would help him escape, he'd sell them out for a penny.

[jaysunb]

32. The boys for sure. He might try to arrange an escape hatch for his " princess." Nt

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

29. He won't ever quit...but...

maybe he’ll get more confused and try to eat a handgun.

[malaise]

31. Don't tease

[lonely bird]

48. Wouldn't matter

He’d miss his brain.

[Alacritous Crier]

33. He has no...

allegiance to the GOP and would gladly drop out at the last minute just to screw them over too. I've been saying for years that I don't think he'll finish his term for one reason or another. To me this COVID mess might just be the last straw.

I sure hope so anyway.

[malaise]

34. I sure hope so anyway

He looks more whipped by the day

[enid602]

35. rinse and repeat

Flush the turd on November third!!!!

Flush the turd on November third!!!!

Flush the turd on November third!!!!

Flush the turd on November third!!!!

Flush the turd on November third!!!!

Flush the turd on November third!!!!

Flush the turd on November third!!!!

[DFW]

36. We rejected him last time, too

Republicans are always interested in finding ways to compensate for that.

Don't believe for a second that they won't try this time as well. Their attitude will be, once again, "yeah, he's a dangerous, incompetent pieces of shit, but he's OUR dangerous, incompetent piece of shit, so we're doing everything we can to make sure he stays in office."

[Wellstone ruled]

38. Something is up.

Noticed something in the last two weeks or so. Less and less MAGA crap being worn in Public. Trump/Pence bumper stickers are disappearing. Even our Newspaper owned by Trumps number one Supporter has been dialing back the pro Trump letters to the editor postings.

[malaise]

39. Good spot

Thanks

[Aristus]

40. Haven't we addressed this before? You know, many, many times?

He is never going to quit. He is never going to resign. Trump is stupid, but he has the survival instincts of an animal. He knows the minute he resigns, the Southern District of New York will land on him like a runaway planet. He really, really doesn't want to go to jail.

Resigning so Pence can pardon him is a risky throw of the dice. He has to be convicted of a crime before he can be eligible for a pardon. Ford's pardon of Nixon in the absence of a trial and conviction won't fly a second time.

We have to vote him out. Bottom line.

[BamaRefugee]

45. Agreed, but "we" (us here in DU) don't have to vote him out, a lot of people whose primary political

instincts are to protect guns and fetuses are going to have to vote him out in just a handful of states...All of our enthusiasm means nothing if enough of those people show up again.

Dems could win state after state by a 99% margin and still lose if tRump wins by just 100 votes in the key states.

[dawg day]

41. I think maybe the GOP will ease him out...

Pence will end up the candidate.

[SWBTATTReg]

42. Idiot will have burned his bridges and I strongly suspect that in one of my scenarios, those ...

republicans still in control of their mental abilities will finally step up and remove him jointly in cooperation w/ the democratic representatives. It is getting ridiculous, with literally no president at the helm, just a spoiled man child.

It'll be too late for the republican party, they'll undergo one of the biggest defeats ever and the party will be demoted to a shell of itself. The criminal aftermath will last years, as some will rat out their former rat pack mates to escape criminal prosecution (bribes, insider trading, depravity to life, etc.).

[USALiberal]

43. You are way too optimistic, you forget 2016. Nt

[FiveGoodMen]

44. From LA Times, 2016

https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-boot-republicans-in-exile-20160508-story.html

[tiptonic]

49. You nailed it

He may end up in Russia, with his boss Putin. Maybe not, come to think of it, because he screws up any place he goes. Putin would not tolerate that.

[Kablooie]

50. Same message we heard just before he became president.

You vastly underestimate the gullibility of the American people.
We are suckers for a flashy, fake pitch.

The danger if even more present because Trump has a huge, HUGE, war chest he's been building for 3 1/2 years and will throw it all on the few states he needs to win the electoral college.

Trump will promise them the moon and they will hear it many times every single day and begin to believe it.
Biden will offer what realistically he expects to provide and they will only hear that occasionally.

It's going to be hard, if not impossible, for Biden to compete effectively.

[bucolic_frolic]

51. To skeptics

I say, show me the upside of Trump at this point. The converted are MAGAzied. The opposition is informed (they weren't in 2016). Independents are showing their good government side, which is considerable at most times. Elections are open scrutiny, with significant litigation at the drop of a hat. Ok, Don the Con could go there. Will he have a lot of sympathy? He could peel off a state in a close election I suppose, but 2 or 3 of them to switch 50 electoral votes? He has money. No one is listening. His schemes to trash Joe Biden are widely known. Americans are dropping dead from his negligence. The economy is in the hands of the printing press of the Fed and Congress. Fox News is being questioned about their content, though it remains in his hip pocket.

Show me the upside. These are the reasons I believe malaise OP.

[Takket]

53. i think we are going to have an incredible fight on our hands....

reminder that all the infrastructure drumpf and putin used in 2016 to win is still in place. on a level playing field? with an informed public? yeah, drumpf would get crushed... but that situation doesn't exist.

[subana]

56. I agree

I don't see any way he can win the election, no matter what he does! The only way is if Putin can steal a massive amount of votes to make him leader again. Apart from that, he will be going down & hopefully on his way to prison!!

[cayugafalls]

57. I so hope you are right! Thank you! nt

[Odawg]

59. Wow are you dreaming!

These assholes have the White House, the Senate, the Federal courts and thirty out of fifty states and you're telling us they are going to be wiped out. What planet are you from. They won't give up power, they cheat, they steal, they lie, they suppress and unlike us they show up to Vote. They don't whine about their candidates.
