It's becoming obvious that Trump is going to lose the election, what last ditch effort will he take to retain power?

Asked by SQUEEKY2 (23475points) November 6th, 2020

Besides his ridiculous lawsuits, and constant crying that the election was rigged.
If you believe that it was rigged, how come there isn’t a shred of evidence supporting that theory?
Why can’t he just man up admit he lost and move on?

He will likely clog the courts, trying to have countless votes invalidated for spurious and fictitious reasons.
He might try to pressure states into appointing electors that will vote for him, regardless of who won that state.

He will give the signal to Qanon and the right wing militias to start killing people

Why are you asking the Fluther echo chamber?

There are tens of millions who feel their votes were supressed,
There are tens of thousands of poll watchers who were asked to leave, and Biden suddenly made huge numbers behind the curtains.

Hundreds of thousands of illegal, non-postmarked and late-arriving ballots were counted as legal votes for Biden, in violation of Federal law.

There were dozens of illegal irregularities that led to Biden getting ahead—and it will be dealt with, not necessarilly by Trump but via criminal referrals in the courts.

For the answers YOU want, just consult the Fluther echo chamber.

Drumpf already lost his frivolous lawsuits in Georgia and Michigan, because he could not produce a shred of evidence for his allegations.

I was a poll inspector and was there from 5 AM until 10PM. Nobody was asked to leave.
If any ballots were sent in and the person tried to vote in person, the incident was recorded and only the in person vote counted. Out of the 350 or so people I logged in, I had Zero cases of that.
He is making up stuff that is totally unsupported in fact. Everyone already knows he has a habit of doing that.
He was claiming victory AND calling the election a sham when voting had just begun and votes were not even tallied. He needed to do that so he could say it was stolen.

By the way, for every position at the polls there is always a Democrat representative and a Republican rep. as well as site coordinators and inspectors from both parties. Always!

I think he said that he would pray to God for divine intervention in the form of a miracle. To turn the tide in the election.

One thing I just heard on the news, is that if drumpf manages to delay the count through his various lawsuits until december 8th, the contested state in question can then appoint electors according to their own judgement. since those states are controlled by republicans, the ploy there is that they will appoint electors that will loyally vote for him, regardless of who won the popular vote in the state.

Trump will hold his breath until he passes out, Pence takes over and . . . . Biden gets inaugurated on January 20, 2021

@yellowdog As always… show us your proof of election fraud.
There isn’t any proof.
If Biden loses, he could say the same thing. But he won’t because he is honest and classy.

He’ll lock the doors to the oval office and shoot himself while sprawled across the big desk.

I have to ask who is paying for his law suits?
Trump himself? The Republican party?The tax payer?

Tropical_Willie's avatar

Sounds like he is starting GroupFundMe for Trump I wonder if all the money will go paying for suits (or maybe First Class tickets to Ukraine !)

@Yellowdog, I know you’re a loyal trouper. There’s a logical principle, though. Suppose your club has an election and the designated officer collects 40 votes in a hat: little folded slips of paper with a name on them. Don’t you see that once all 40 are in the hat, the order in which you take them out doesn’t change what’s written on them?

Now suppose that half of those slips are folded once, and half are folded into tight little wads and taped shut. You’re probably going to get the easy folds counted first. But even if most of them are for A, that doesn’t mean A is winning. Not until you see the rest. And if most of the rest are for B, that doesn’t mean that B has stolen anything from A—only that A’s people drew a wrong conclusion from the early count and are now going to be disappointed.

Until you count all 40 ballots, you won’t know the answer that was right there in the hat. What changes is your knowledge and not the objective results

NICE ANSWER @Jeruba ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Trumps last ditch effort is to remain in the public eye everyday.
All this is to show that he can Brand himself as marketable merchandise for backing to start his own Network, because he is jealous of Oprah having more money and power and her own network. He can’t stand that.

Hey Yellowdog where is the evidence of voter fraud ?
I guess I was right they would call it before you could produce any, any attempts at rigging I saw was coming from the conservative side.
