Trump's F*cked. That Means America Is Too Until November.

The Daily Beast

He’s tired of the job, but he knows that without the power of his office (and Bill Barr to protect him), every conceivable chicken will come home to roost.

Stop it. He’s not quitting.

Yes, everyone would love to believe the rumors sweeping Trumpland and the Washington media that it’s gotten so bad Donald Trump is considering quitting the race.

Never gonna happen. Donald Trump is in this thing until the last dog dies. It’s dumb wishcasting. If Trump is fucked, we all are for at least the next four months.

Also, on my “cut it the fuck out” list are people already taking victory laps, picking out curtains, and preparing for a Biden Presidency when the election is several hundred years away. Donald Trump’s numbers suck like an industrial sewage pump right now, but this battle is a long way from over, and evil finds a way, so eternal vigilance and no days off is the rule.

1. I agree. It is never going to happen. He will have to be pulled out and will use 3 months before

Biden gets in to do as much damage as he can.

2. Good advice:

evil finds a way, so eternal vigilance and no days off is the rule

3. "Eternal vigilance and no days off."

Exactly.

[calimary]

13. Yep. Truth.

Like Mad-Eye Moody warned Harry Potter about the bad guys who wished him ill - "CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!!"

They don't roll over and go back to sleep. So we can't. We don't dare.

5. I'm concerned a major political figure may somehow get killed between now and then

and that would give Trump an excuse to declare martial law to fuck up the election.

[Lock him up.]

6. He can't cancel the election.

As it's run by the States (State Law).

All of them at once. You can't have 25 States running the election and 25 not running it.

He's got no say in it, apart from his name being printed on the ballots or on screens.

Martial Law is too big a leap. He lost the military.

His cult of deplorables can't make it happen for him.

7. Rick Wilson fomented this shit!

[BigmanPigman]

8. I have been reading tons of posts on DU over the past few days

where people actually think he may resign. Are people in denial or not paying attention? The guy WILL NEVER CHANGE! Besides, he has to stay out of prison which means staying IN the White House.
DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN!

Ignore. All. Polls. Heads down. Do the work. Rest on 11/4.

14. William Barr does not have the ability to damage Biden the way that Comey destroyed Hillary.

People don't take Barr seriously anymore. Comey had way too much credibility when he obliterated our last candidate.

9. Trump's own party will dump him

before November. He might stay in office until January, but I am predicting that Republicans will run someone else, soon. Probably Romney because he has name recognition for such short notice.

[Dopers_Greed]

10. Trump knows that the ultimate "fuck you" to America...

...would be to give us 4 more years of Republican rule.

He's going to drop out, and Repugs will win big league.

[Retrograde]

11. Until January

He's not going to leave voluntarily as long as there's a dollar left in the Treasury to be stolen, or a Putin to be appeased. And his evil spawn will be there helping him gut the White House - and maybe the Smithsonians as well.

12. IT...DOESN'T....MATTER

We have to act like he'll stay. And we have to fight to remove all the GOP and their POtuS. No complacency!
