1. I wonder if the media hasn't given him the green light for this stuff

"Will you accept the results of the election?"

"Are you going to delay the election?"

By asking him these questions, isn't the media telling him that it's something he can do?

He might think Barr and the courts could hand him a gift if he gets desperate, but I can't see him taking cues from outside his warm, moist cocoon.

Trump attempting to postpone or cancel the election was a no-brainer. Democrats saw that coming years ago. I'm happy that Joe let the rest of America in on Trump's little plan though.

Of course no election is official without Donald Trump's "seal of approval".

Screw Trump. He can't postpone it, he can't cancel it, it's going to happen and Trump is going to LOSE in epic fashion!

3. He certainly knew that Trump would respond with poutrage, and denial.

So now, Joe reaps the rewards of baiting the hook well.

I was thinking the same thing... if we're going to change the election date, can we make it SOONER?!

and destructive, at all positions of power, I'm again hoping for more than eight years of Democratic leadership.

I don't ever want to find out what the next stage of the "conservative" progression would look like here.

We've already seen it elsewhere. It has to end now.

But they doubled down on batguano and racism when **gasp** a Black man was elected president.

I won't trust them to reform. I would like them to fade quickly away as an ever dwindling minority.

Unfortunately, nearly any candidate they run in the future will look sane and high minded by default.
