In 2016, right-wingers came out of the woodwork to put Donnie over the top at the last minute.

Since then, more people have left the Republican Party than the Democratic Party.

Since then, more people have registered for the Democratic Party than the Republican Party.

Since then, virtually every demographic has shifted in Biden's favor.

Since then, enthusiasm has risen dramatically among democrats. If enthusiasm was already surprisingly high among republicans in 2016, can it really be any higher in 2020?


In short, there really is no explanation for a donnie victory in 2020 that's remotely consistent with everything we know about presidential elections.

And this is on top of his policy disasters, his campaign incompetence, his alienating statements, his ethical morass, etc.

If he "wins", it will be because he cheated. There's really no other possible explanation.


And the fact that he already seems to be planning for this is telling. He's not really trying to get more support from voters. He's only trying to cheat.

...should outflank PINO, and put that thought out there.
"With the polling, both internal & independent, Mr. Biden can only lose if there is massive fraud."
It's what PINO is saying. Use the polls as the lever, but get the message out that PINO can only win by cheating.

While I haven't seen the numbers, I wouldn't be at all surprised if nationally more people have registered as Democrats than Republicans.

But with respect to at least on key state, Florida, the trend runs in the opposite direction.

to get rid of this asshole.

My 80 year old aunt in Texas...never voted for a democrat before Hillary Clinton. She absolutely hates Donald Trump. She's voting for Biden this time.

My husband's ex-wife and her now husband live in Arizona. Both registered republicans, and he is fairly hard line right wing. Both are voting for Biden.

6. True, Republican tend to always vote and somehow their votes always get counted

Our enthusiasm is much higher this time around. Largely thanks to donnie, actually.

But this was the excuse trotted out 4 years ago to explain how donnie won at the last minute, that his voters cane out of the woodwork.

There is no one reason he squeaked that out.

But yes, it he wins, he cheated. Take to the streets.

It was so incredibly close that any one single issue you point to could be blamed as the cause.

Trump cheated on his SATs to get into college, along with a significant helping of Daddy's money.
Trump cheated on multiple exams in college, paying others to do his homework and take his tests.
Trump cheated on the draft, claiming a non-existent ailment multiple times to avoid being sent to Vietname.
Trump cheated on all three of his wives.
Trump cheated on his taxes, paying only $1500 over ten years for hundreds of millions in transactions.
Trump cheats on his golf game all the time.
Trump cheated on multiple investors of in his hotels and resorts, leaving them poorly built and in disrepair.
Trump cheated his contractors, finding flimsy excuses not to pay them then threatening them with lawsuits.
Trump cheated thousands of students who paid upwards of tens of thousands of dollars while getting nothing in return.
Trump cheated by repeatedly violating the emoluments clause.
Trump cheated the oversight by Congress in appointing "Acting Directors" instead of confirmed ones so he could fire them illegally.
Trump cheated taxpayers with a one-time payment to individuals and an in perpetual relief to large corporations.
Trump cheated the taxpayers by forcing government business through his own resorts at inflated prices.
Trump cheated in getting elected by lying to Congress and consorting with foreign governments to help throw the 2016, 2018 and 2020 elections. He was caught in 2018, and I expect him to get caught in 2020.

The list goes on and on, but the truth remains ... Trump has spent his entire-life cheating. He will attempt to do so Tuesday, and every day thereafter until he is physically walked out of the White House, kicking and screaming, because life has been so unfair to him.
