Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsJust a week ago, Trump supporters were confident he had the election in the bag.
Today, they are not so confident.
If Trump loses, it doesn't mean the election was rigged. It means that Kamala Harris and the Democrats kicked his old, weird, and lyin' ass.
Today, they are running scared.
After Joe faltered at the debate, after Trump was almost assassinated, after their "unity" Convention, they haven't moved at all. Normally, each of those events would have shown a jump in the polls for the Republicans. Even FOX Propaganda is on the verge of panic.
After the Democrats hold their Convention and Kamala is nominated, it is expected that the polls will go even higher for the Democrats.
Then, the only way Trump can win is if he tries to rig the election.
To quote Dr Martin Luther King, Jr: "We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice."
Think. Again.

(11,913 posts)They already know they can't legitimately win anything, so the cheating and stealing are always underway.

Because it is absolutely a foregone conclusion that he is going to try. No doubt about it!

(55,804 posts)I have difficulty seeing any upside for Trump-Vance.
We have upside. If we falter, not all our disaffected will go to Trump. Many will stay home.
People vote for various reasons. Anger is usually a change or occasionally a watershed election.
But there is also panic. Fear. Americans who are informed are terrified at Trump playing Hitler 2.
The stars are aligning. Democrats need to bring them home.

(44,738 posts)Done deal, regardless of polling data, but the law and order folks, ya know the good guys, will work for a free and fair election. If Japan had advertised months in advance that they were going to attack Pearl Harbor with planes from aircraft carriers there WOULD have been a different outcome.

(11,913 posts)I'd so love to be confident.
But then I remember how much of the American public ignorantly and inattentively follows the corporate media.
And no matter what, the MAGA side has 100:1 or more people working on winning. No matter how. No matter the cost. They shouldn't have won anything for decades, but they do.
I fervently hope that Dems have finally learned this and are working to overcome it.

(9,212 posts)Is not in the bag for anyone. Behave like you are behind, and do what needs to be done to win. Anything else is folly. I hope d win and win big. Then I can hopefully finally forget about a threat from the monster. Except that he and his crew will most definitely try to challenge it and the so called SC will I predict be on his side. This time he is not in power so he cant do another J6 so easily.

(67 posts)The fix is already in! Just like last time. Complete with a rerun at the capitol if he loses.
He lost his shit losing to Biden. Imagine the tantrum that will be thrown when he loses to the first Black Woman President!
I hope the good guys are ready? Because I'm not hearing a plan, other than, we'll call in the Guard.

(14,972 posts)Dems cheat by advertising voting, Dems cheat by having more ballot boxes, Dems cheat by not making voting hard for anybody but old white people.
they truly consider the above cheating... I hear it on talk radio.
Now - Dems cheat by swapping candidates.
