Election Night (+4) in America - Result: Biden Elected President (10 Viewers)

[GrandAdmiral]

I'll probably be flipping between CNN, NBC, and probably PBS if they have coverage.

What station you got?

 

[Saint by the Bay]

He's trying to win the election the way he keeps from paying his bills, by drowning the country in litigation until we give up.

We aren't going to give up.

 

[BayouSAINTJoe]

This appears to be the major announcement. Shocker.

"Plenty of Proof?!?!" Just like how his people found "things" in Hawaii when looking for Obama's Birth Certificate, he's nothing more than a carnival barker.

 

[The moose]

For him personally yes. Obviously for the country it's destructive unless he's got a legitimate basis. He might, but so far (e.g. the Chatham County PA suit was pure junk) the basis for legal actual has been pretty weak.

Of course Trump has never cared one iota about the good of the nation versus the good of Trump, so it's consistent.

Nope plenty to gain.

Gonna get those poor rubes to donate to this and steal from that.

Sell more hats take from that.

Plenty to gain when you really remember he started his political career to peddle cheap beef and cruddy wine it all makes a ton of sense.

 

[Foreign National]

Or he could accept defeat gracefully like every other president before.

Does he actually believe that counting valid votes is fraud???

Mr Trump has never shown any grace. Like I said, he has nothing to lose.

What he believes is of no relevance. If he is wrong, he will lose nothing. Most of us know Mr Trump just flings poo on the walls and see's what sticks. Some of his supporters actually fall for it, his other voters don't necessarily believe it but they certainly will not take points away from him for saying and trying it. Win win for Mr Trump.

Yeah I mean I agree with you it is just my greatest wish that he would put the country above his own needs and desires....of course it is not possible for him to think that way.

 

[SaulGoodmanEsq]

If you look around at media reports, other prominent GOP officials (McConnell, various Senators, etc.) are saying all the votes need to be counted. Most of the rank-and-file GOP elite want to be rid of Trump. They got their judges, including three SC appointments, and are satisfied the Democrats didn't pick up that many Senate seats. They'll gladly deal with four years of Biden instead of having to cater to Trump.

Yeah they got the big win with the SC seats. Donald is no longer necessary.

That would be nice, but I believe it is long past the time anyone should be expecting this from Mr Trump.

hahaha..

side note, if he's bringing claims to court, he need to bring proof. I realize, he can say whatever shirt he wants on Twitter (and he does), but he can't just go to court with a "check out the media".

And in any case.. seriously.. what the hell does that mean?

They always start this way. They are always disturbed and appalled right before bending over and getting fully onboard.

I thought the media was fake news???

[wardorican]

Ironically, I think he's going to play the voter suppression card by basically saying the media was complicit in suppressing the Republican vote by intentionally misleading voters with bogus poll numbers. It won't work, but I suspect that will be an angle.

If anything, it has shown record republican's voting from rural areas. Even look at Miami Dade.. Biden got about as many phyisical votes as Clinton did, but a lower percentage. Why, because a lot more republican voters showed up.. like a gain of 100-200k!

And that's not something you can effectively challenge in court.

 

[wardorican]

Well lord, I hope none of those three end up being on the SCOTUS..... let's not tempt fate.

You can be sure the GOP establishment despises Trump. If they see any kind of opening to get rid of him, they'll take it. Having four years of Biden makes it easier for a GOP establishment candidate to win in 2024 -- after the GOP modifies its primary process so a guy like Trump can't win again. Assuming Biden steps out after a single term (which is probably the plan), I have doubts as to whether Kamala Harris would win when half the country still supports Trump. Hell, I have doubts Harris would even win the Democratic nomination.

Conversely, if Trump wins reelection then the GOP is forever Trump. And you'll see Ivanka pushed on to the GOP in 2024.

FYI, from CNN.

Looks like the majority of these ballots in the mail are for California. So, no real impact. They didn't give an exact number. A very small number can't be counted, because those states don't allow it.

USPS processed over 305,000 ballots on Nov. 4
From CNN's Paul Murphy

According to data submitted Thursday in federal court filings, the United States Postal Service processed 305,184 ballots the day after Election Day.
In analyzing the data, 3.8% of the ballot – or 11,676 ballots – were processed in states where ballots are not accepted if they arrive after Election Day.
This data does not tell us if the ballots were postmarked by or on Election Day, or if they were delivered yesterday.
The overwhelming majority of the ballots processed on Wednesday were in California. Those ballots, if properly postmarked, are counted if they arrive by November 20.
These figures do not include ballots being returned through what USPS calls "local turnaround." That's the process USPS says some post offices have implemented, where ballots are being delivered directly to local boards of election – they are postmarked, but don't go through normal mail processing.
They also do not include data on ballots that don't have barcodes.
