I expect he'll leave office at the appropriate time but he'll always claim that he would have been the winner in a fair and legal election; that he was denied a 2nd term because of widespread election fraud.

(1,040 posts)So he may go quietly, with his cult screaming and yelling that he should continue to fight. He'll garner more sympathy, which equals support, which equates to money in his pocket.
He may be a horrible human being and the worst President we've ever had (which I know is open to debate), but he does know how to con people out of their hard-earned dollars. At that he is VERY proficient.

(58,785 posts)Since the 1990s the GOP has relied on many techniques of election subversion to win national and many state elections. Suppression and outright theft increasingly SOP for decades because their giant electoral college advantage isn't enough..
And they had to be able to do that this time.
So my theory is that the GOP's massive election thefts in 2016 and 2018, 2016 especially abetted by hostile foreign powers, sabotaged their 2020 plans by both forcing by our intelligence agencies to closely monitor the elections AND by causing Americans in general to care and pay far more attention than usual.

Right now, they're doing recounts on every box score of the 1962 Mets and the 1976 Buccaneers.

The way they watch M*A*S*H and Hogan's Heroes must be a different experience from us.
