If I were a troll, I would suggest that shoveling driveways this winter would probably grow your support. But I am not a troll.

Good luck Calvin. We need more people in politics with the passion to change what doesn't make sense.

RIGGED 2020 ELECTION: MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WILL BE PRINTED BY FOREIGN COUNTRIES, AND OTHERS. IT WILL BE THE SCANDAL OF OUR TIMES!

The best part about this is he's already declaring an election that he (in normal times) should be favored to win as rigged.

What's crazy is I just checked a website for political props and he is still favored.

Trump -121
Biden +120

Really? Pretty sure those odds aren't live.

Yeah RCP average odds have Biden up at 54.5/39.0

by **heyeaglefn** » Mon Jun 22, 2020 12:28:08

I was looking at the odds on Sports Book Review site, guess I should get in a bet while Biden is plus money.

Future Trump rallies are considering moving to a "signature" mode so that they can avoid embarrassment. So a special Trump club with the most rabid fans to appear on camera. Exclusivity seems like a different bad direction. There starts to be a good chance of seeing the echo chamber of the same stooges. Will the campaign pay to get these people to places to mitigate risk (pssst, we are headed to "actors" and "paid participants").

Comments like this worry me because we know he is the King of Projection. That would be a good way to kill mail in ballots in future years..... Flood the key states with fake ballots. Create chaos.

Tim Murtaugh is a mad man. He doubled the number of attendees at the rally on CNN. He said that the 12000 people bold enough to go into the war zone that is Tulsa because of outside agitators is really an accomplishment. He said that he subtracted out the people at Biden's last rally from his basement because no one cares about Joe Biden. So Donald is up +12000.

The CNN person asked about the 'slow the testing' and got the 'it was a joke, you don't have a sense of humor'. She lit into him. Asked if 120000 dead American's is funny. About time that happened.

He is the communication director for Trump 2020, so this is his job, but wow.

If you can't pull yourself to vote for someone in another party, under any circumstance, you're close-minded. I have never understood being able to willingly say that you cannot muster a vote for candidate because the candidate is bad, but you can't vote for their opponent because of their party affiliation. What, you can't pull a lever to help ensure that Trump does not get 4 more years? What do you even stand for?

What's scary is how close-minded we've learned people truly are. People will go to insane and irrational lengths to protect their self-image, so circumstances be damned, a vote for a Democrat is a threat to that person's very sense of self if they've constructed that self with strong R / anti D as a part of it.

This is the only thing that really scares me with this upcoming election - how many R's just can't bring themselves to vote for a D, circumstances and context be damned.

Yup, and Rs do this almost every election. They come home to roost when push comes to shove. The polls WILL tighten and we need everything to go right because Trump WILL cheat and he has all the built in advantages. Cheating is a given and I hope the dems are prepared for it. They cannot give him another 4 years. He's spent the first 4 years dismantling our norms and many essential departments. The next 4 years will be profiting from those changes and pushing us to the edge of a dictatorship. I honestly don't care what method dems use to defeat him.... it HAS to happen.

And you know that he is just the guy to do it. He would send fake ballots to his supporters then claim that these were not accepted, or some insanity.

Yup, we have to assume the worst, then rethink that worst because he's probably thought of something even more evil than we assumed.

BREAKING: VP Mike Pence and his wife both voted by mail in the Indiana GOP primary in April.

On a morning where Trump railed against mail-in voting, we now know that Pence, Ronna McDaniel Romney, Kayleigh McEnany, and Trump himself ALL voted by mail.

I wonder how Britain would feel if they defeated the American rebels in the Revolutionary War and the Colonists continued to fly the American Flag afterwards. And they also erected statues to George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. I also doubt the colonists would ever feel that they were truly part of the British Empire

So Don is moving to buying the vote. A very generous next stimulus check is being promised brought to you by the US tax payer. Making it sound like his doing.

More 5D chess. He promised a stimulus package not necessarily a check even though the question was about a check.
