Tweets from Dan Rather and Laurence Tribe, minutes ago, warning us what Trump is up to [View all]

Link to tweet

In 2016, Pres. Trump claimed voter fraud to explain his loss in the popular vote. It was a lie. Now, with horrible polling, he's trying to delegitimize the vote - through suppression and more lies about voting by mail. This is a big story. Put all his allies on the record.

WARNING: Trump is telling us that he’ll refuse to accept a loss this November as legitimate. We need to believe him and prepare to fight back if we’re to preserve our democracy.

I posted an OP earlier about Howard Fineman's warning today
