And I think his voters like that about him. If he were to wrest the presidency from the Democrats even though he won fewer votes it shows dominance, and we know how much they love that.
After four years of ignoring expertise, lying daily, and breaking both laws and “norms” with impunity, President Donald Trump headed into Election Day with a brazen pledge: that he will cheat by not counting all the ballots.
“It’s a terrible thing when people or states are allowed to tabulate ballots for a long period of time after the election is over because it can only lead to one thing, and that’s very bad,” Trump told reporters traveling with him on Sunday, as he repeated his desire to end all vote counting on Tuesday night. “As soon as that election is over, we’re going in with our lawyers.”
“He’s been laying the groundwork for this for months,” said Daniel Goldman, a former federal prosecutor and the lead lawyer for House Democrats during Trump’s impeachment over his extortion of Ukraine to help his reelection bid. “Mind-blowingly fascist.”
Can he pull it off? I don’t know. It’s a long shot. But then his whole presidency is a long shot. So I’m anxiously huggly my shot glass tonight hoping that tomorrow night is decisively for the good guys and Trump is put back in his cage.
And then we can start to worry about what he’s going to do for the next three months to get his revenge.
You know he will:
Trump getting revenge in the lame duck transition period before he leaves office is the best case scenario, I’m afraid.
