President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Tell ya what: If the Senate goes blue, or gets to 50/50 with Harris as the tiebreaker, I think it's a day to feel pretty good. That might only last two years, mind you, so get health care done and a better stimulus done right quick.

If the Senate stays red, it's gonna be a knife fight in a ditch for the next two years. And it could get really tough after that.

 

Seriously, what can Trump challenge? All of the votes in Mich, Wisc, Arizona and Nevada that he thinks were frauds were received before the end of voting on election day. They are legal votes, under any rules.

 

All true. I'd still take it over Trump getting a second term and declaring himself god-emperor for life, under the circumstances.

 

May have me on ignore - anyone want to ask him?

 

The President is in charge of all federal agencies, that's huge. Yes the Senate may not break the right way but they can only be obstructionist, they can't initiate anything. The President can.

 

Looks like all the amendments and initiatives I voted for passed, and all the amendments I voted against failed.

It’s a small bit of hope, but it’s there.

 

If it's 270-268, what about Trump's crew paying off someone to be a faithless elector?
Is that even possible?

 

A McConnell led senate won't confirm any of Biden's appointees and if Breyer retires/dies or someone else dies, the Supreme Court will shrink by a justice or two, because no Biden appointee is even going to get a vote. And even if they did, it would be 51-49, or whatever the margin is at the end.

I still think Warnock will win his runoff against Peoria Barbie but that fourth vote, to get the majority, is getting elusive. Best chance is still North Carolina, maybe.

 

Sigh.

The Republican Party has changed. By a lot. In, like, five years. The establishment GOP's idea of a presidential candidate in 2016 was Bush, Part 3, Rubio and Ted "Lucifer in the flesh!" Cruz. The party was about take a beating in 2016...until Trump.

Changing the GOP back to what it was is hard because, to get to the point it's at this moment, took adding millions of folks who voted for Obama and Bill Clinton. There's a whole chunk of blue hanging out with the red. And you can see it in how, despite the GOP having to defend 35 stinking seats, there's a good chance the GOP holds on to it. The GOP may gain a lil bit in the House, too. That, in essence, is saying exactly what you want to hear about Trump while simultaneously saying, about the Democratic Party "I don't trust that bunch, either, to vote for down-ballot candidates." I don't know how many Biden + otherwise red voters there are, but I'm guessing quite a bit, and that was a referendum on Trump's character.

The rest is a warning for the Dems. Two more years of trotting out the cultural revolution as your platform may have severe consequences. Feel however you want to about it. It's just what I see. Maybe I'm wrong. I was wrong about Biden winning well north of 300. But so were a lot of people.
