JFK-1 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 5 hours ago, Maple Leaf said: One of the things he could do is to mess around with the Electoral College. For example, if he loses Florida, he could replace the existing 29 Electors in Florida with Trump supporters who would then vote for him instead of Biden when it's time for the Electoral College vote. Also, in many states the Electors are not legally required to vote according to the popular vote in that state. Electors who are also members of the Trump cult could simply vote for Trump instead of Biden. They are referred to as Faithless Electors. There were 10 Faithless Electors in 2016. In some states, voting according to the popular vote is a legal requirement for Electors. Florida might well be one of those states, so I only used Florida as an example of the chicanery that Trump could resort to.

JFK-1 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 12 minutes ago, ri Alban said: Maybe once he's beaten, the Republicans will do what they should have done years ago and tell him to He's not really a Republican as such. Trump simply jumped on the Republican wagon because he knew there was zero chance of ever running for the Democrats. Trumps only allegiance is to Trump. He couldn't give the proverbial flying about anything else. Quote Trump registered as a Republican in Manhattan in 1987 and since that time has changed his party affiliation five times. In 1999, Trump changed his party affiliation to the Independence Party of New York. In August 2001, Trump changed his party affiliation to Democratic. In September 2009, Trump changed his party affiliation back to the Republican Party. In December 2011, Trump changed to "no party affiliation" (independent). In April 2012, Trump again returned to the Republican Party In a 2004 interview, Trump told CNN's Wolf Blitzer: "In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat," explaining: "It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn't be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats...But certainly we had some very good economies under Democrats, as well as Republicans. But we've had some pretty bad disaster under the Republicans." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I doubt there are as many as tens of millions as the lifelong Republican voter states he suspects there are in the following video. But there have to be a lot and very possibly in the millions. There's never been anything like this. Never been such a groundswell of people who have always voted for a particular party turning against that party. Now while nothing is ever certain with the deeply flawed electoral college method of electing a president all the pollsters and political commentators are suggesting that a Democratic landslide is a real possibility. The Republicans may indeed, as Bill in the following video says, "reap the whirlwind" for their enabling of a man they know is a wacko. Bill is a Republican voting for Biden. He believes there are tens of millions like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 12 hours ago, redjambo said: The polls in Texas have been more favourable to Trump though. I did half-joke earlier on that I thought Biden would take Texas, but it's probably a bridge too far for him. Taking Florida should be enough. I think Biden would have at least a middling chance to take Texas if the voting process were fair and above board. The fact is it isn't. This is how broken and corrupt this country is. Could this happen in any other major Western democracy? Quote In the past few weeks alone, conservative judges have amply displayed their contempt for Democratic constituencies’ right to the franchise. On October 12, Trump appointees to the federal bench in Texas upheld Governor Greg Abbott’s decision to permit counties to designate only a single drop-off point for absentee ballots—a choice that will cause few problems in rural counties, where Republicans typically dominate, but has already created chaos in more populous counties, where Democrats are likely to draw a significant number of votes. In Harris County, which covers nearly 2,000 square miles, 5 million voters are now left with a single drop box. “One strains to see how it burdens voting at all,” the court concluded.

While they've been out of power, Biden wasn't the party leader and wasn't even the Democratic candidate until about 18 months ago. I don't actually know who 'led' the party in the first two years of Trump's presidency. Hadn't really thought about it until now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Been watching various people give their take on the 60 minutes walkout video. And the more I see Trump whine to that woman the more I think he actually truly is medically insane. Now many think that the 'crazy act' is just that, an act which apparently more crazy people are impressed by and vote for him. And I thought that as well to at least some degree. But now I think he actually is truly insane. Consider this. He does a lot of whining to the 60 minutes woman abut the "scandal" around Joe Biden not being reported. And also keep in mind this whining wasn't going to be part of the interview. It's intended as just a sort of personal discussion with her. She explains to him that not 60 minutes nor any other news outlet can report on something there is no evidence for. He insists there is though doesn't offer any. Just keeps whining that they don't report it. Now isn't that truly insane? They come up with a lie his entire team knows is a lie. Something every half intelligent person knows is a lie. And he sits there thinking he can convince this intelligent woman that this fantasy is real? That's what makes me think he's truly insane. His psychologist niece was asked if she thought he truly believed his own lies. She said that she thought initially he doesn't. But once he's repeated it over and over he then starts to believe it. That's insanity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackLadd Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Barrett's shameful confirmation is a very dangerous development for democracy in the U.S. Makes the possibility we could see a sham election and masses of postal votes voided very real. Trump is already going back to the scotus on Pennsylvania to void any ballots rcvd after the 3rd. He has already nobbled the USPS on postal delivery times so Barret can seal the deal. That state is the key battleground which if Trump can suppress enough votes there is a path to 270. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's insanity. There is no question that Trump has serious phsychological challenges, I do not contradict opinions that refer to him being insane, can create a picture of someone who goes along the street picking up and eating horse droppings because they have heard the term oranges used referring to them. I am sure at some point someone talking with Trump could feel gee he's quite a nice guy, he can be funny when he is relating one of his stories, but thats a long way from standing in front of thousands and telling outlandish lies that if followed could lead to financial and life tragedy for them, just lies alone can show serious mental weakness, and certainly a lack of belief in self is indicated when it is habitual. The surprising thing is normally when people see a weakness in a leader they will do what they can to ease his responsibilities, and not enable him in extreme foolishness, and when it gets to a critical stage have him removed. In Trumps case it is unbelievable that men thinking he could never win an election for the Presidency were openly critical and in some cases downright rude about him, Lindsey Graham for one, and Bill Barr for another, now almost prostrate themselves in his company, and the future will show to their own detriment their reward ultimately will be failure, denouncement. On reflection mebbe the word insanity is the correct one, but it is not only relevant to one individual its a group physchosis.
