Ok, now let him define 'blown out of the water'. And I wonder what his daddy's response was to this.
Eric Trump told a crowd of his father's supporters at an event in Las Vegas that President Donald Trump would concede the election if he got blown out of the water by Democratic nominee Joe Biden after the president had cast doubts on a peaceful transfer of power once the race is decided.
I think my fathers just saying listen, if he got blown out of the water, of course, hed concede, Eric Trump said at the Thursday event, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. If he thought there was massive fraud, then hed go and try and address that.
There is no evidence of massive voter fraud and election experts have repeatedly noted that if fraud happens, such as a recent case in New Jersey in which a new election was called after allegations of mail-in ballot fraud, it is easily found. But the president's comments still caused consternation among constitutional and election experts.
Nine states and the District of Columbia plan to send ballots in the mail to all registered voters. Of those states, only Nevada is considered a swing state where Biden holds a six-point lead. In other states, such as Michigan and Florida, voters have to request an absentee ballot in order to vote by mail.

(2,339 posts)No matter which way the wind blows, he'll claim fraud, cheating, etc. He did this in 2016, then was shocked to find he'd won by loophole.
My hope is if the numbers LOOK like anything close to a blow out, he will skedaddle for what he believes will be a 'save haven'. In his warped mind, Pence is left holding the bag and he (trump*) escapes infamy. Of course, that's impossible.
