Trump tells Nevada rally he’s absolutely going to win California in November

President Donald J. Trump is trailing his political opponent, Democratic candidate Joe Biden, by approximately 30 percentage points in Calif., but that hasn’t stopped him from proclaiming he’s going to win the state on Nov. 3.

“I don’t know why we wouldn’t win California. We’re playing it a little bit,” Trump told the crowd in Carson City, Nev. Sunday night.

Maybe something to do with the fake ballot drop-off boxes. Try to get one of his courts to throw out all the Cali results.

I don't put anything past these grifters.

can challenge the election in California in the courts and it involves in part the fake boxes. It is their Hail Mary Pass, if they can
win a challenge in California they can win the election. You can expect anything from Barr and the 6 to 3 SCOTUS. I am thinking
that is some bullshit they are feeding his cult to keep their moral up.

I saw bits of that rally. He was high as a kite again. Seemed a bit drunk, too. (The claim that he doesn't drink is BS, btw.) He is deluded and desperate.

Honestly, I am surprised that he hasn't had some kind of cardiovascular event yet. People are speculating what's going to happen to him once he leaves office. At the rate he's going, he's not going to make it to that point. This is all going to backfire on him badly.

I had totally forgotten about the 'bund'. That one is prime for some good old Trumpanzee cage rattling.

trying to hold on to your base, so they won’t give up and flee the ship. It’s stupid, but I recall a certain candidate who made the same claim in the California Democratic primary of 2016, as the race was nearing an end. They lost by over 7 points. Trump will lose by even more.

He's always said he only lost California in 2016 because so many "illegals" voted, and there was that gop "official" ballot collections box, now he's claiming he'll win California.

He can't keep a secret, he always tips his hand.

Not sure how, but I think he's gonna try to steal California. I mean, if you're going to cheat, it's the one state to cheat in. Flip this and he wins almost no matter what happens in the battleground states, so many electoral votes at stake.

I don't think he can rig the election itself, but he can certainly throw it into the courts and maybe there's a path through federal courts now in the hands of rwnjs

maybe they've decided that it's too hard to steal the what, 5 battleground states they might need at this point. Steal only 4 and they still lose?

Whereas, steal California and that's all they need.

Granted, no one is going to buy that they list North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, etc., and somehow won California legitimately.

But they could win by some legal technicality that wipes out a huge number of democratic votes. Don't know what it might be, maybe a ballot printing error or something that simply invalidates a ton of votes.

Like they don't really claim California really wanted to vote for Donnie but rules are rules. That sort of thing.

I know, a bit far fetched. But I don't trust these cheaters anywhere on anything.
