The rally that Trump said would be "great" before, turned out to be far less than great. 2/3 of the seats were empty.. Everyone could see those empty seats. Trump of course will blame someone else. (of course) There is only one person to blame, and that is Donald Trump and his performance in the last 6 months.[

(38,414 posts)There is so much more, and you are correct....but certainly the last 6 moths have destroyed him and his chances for reelection.

(31,106 posts)some reason that maybe happened because rump started civil unrest, then boom, 12th amendment and boom, he gets another 4.
We must assume putin will shut down our cells, internet, etc. We must assume he aint going nowhere if putin fails, I would be surprised if putin failed.
Therefore are WE READY for the worst possible things to happen???
I keep on this shit because for FUCK sake after what we have witnessed somebody better be thinking about this.
Generals in the pentagon better be. Can he and putin replace patriotic generals and admirals and replace them with traitors?

(32,626 posts)made a believer out of me. Nothing is out of the realm. I think we're all wide-awake and alert, which is why last night and today are over-the-top hilarious, yet tinged with the need to look over your shoulder.

(16,646 posts)Not sure how the 12th gives Trump 4 more. The congress would have to elect him and I don't see that happening.
Eliot Rosewater
(31,106 posts)Is my understanding...if that is incorrect, let me know.

Under The Radar
(3,401 posts)...when he has huge amounts of campaign cash to pay the best cheaters, crooks and hackers known to man, and most of them have Harvard law degrees.
Look for Karl Rove to join his campaign, not because he likes Trump but rather because the money is too good to turn down. Karl built the GOP networks in most of the red states and he has strings to pull. Watch for the worst voter suppression, faulty voting machines, closed polling stations, police intimidation, fights, riots and recounts in multiple states that will take the Supreme Court to decide.
This guy aint going down without taking the whole system with him.

(53,743 posts)seem invincible. They fuck up royally, just like last night and with their response to the virus. We just have to keep the pressure on.
Under The Radar
(3,401 posts)...are going after him so aggressively because that is the type of campaigning that Democrats never had the nerve to do. We never had a Lee Atwater, or Karl Rove. Clinton had the Ragin Cajun, James Carville but no one else will take him.

(4,026 posts)It is way too early to assume anything. The only thing reliable about Trump and Republicans is that they are not above cheating to win. They have proven that time and again and will certainly do so now to further their fascist agenda.

(4,026 posts)I know some members of that base, and as anyone might suspect, they are cultists who can't be appealed to with reason. Further, I think the more damning Trump's situation becomes, the more dangerous and harder to deal with he will become. He is cornered, and like any cornered animal he is a risk. And when he is ultimately defeated, assuming that happens in spite of Putin and Russia, I expect federal marshals will have to be summoned to carry his fascist ass out of the White House.

(26,044 posts)Were the previous two years and eleven months any better?
In any event, if he "now has a clue of what is coming," that makes him all the more dangerous. I'm reminded of a conversation I had with an old (and, in our cases, "old" is a descriptive term) friend in L.A. last week. He said that, in this time of self-isolation, he was sorely tempted to join in the protests, but decided "if I'm going to die from protesting, I want it to be for when Trump loses in November and then refuses to leave office." I thought that realization would only come to him on Election Night; now that he has advance warning, anything could happen.
