I'm not predicting who will win. But I'll take a guess as to what might happen on election day and election night. 1- Trump will declare victory BEFORE polls close in Alaska. That's 1 a.m. Eastern Time. REGARDLESS of who is ahead in the count when he declares victory. 2- There will be relatively little violence. Just maybe some isolated instances. This might be wishful thinking but I truly HOPE I'm right about this. I'm not confident, though. 3- The courts will be OVERWHELMED with complaints by the Trump campaign. If he loses, this is the first step to delay certification. If won't work, but it will tie up our court system with endless petty complaints about... anything they can think of. 4- Lots and lots of rumors on election day. Of all kinds, but all of them serving Trump's agenda. 5- Photos and Videos will probably surface claiming to be of some sort of "fraud" as it's being carried out. Maybe purported illegal aliens voting, or people voting twice.... something like that. Something... claiming to be "proof" of voter fraud as it occurs. They might already be looking for actors, in case somebody wants to make a quick buck.
I suspect they'll be some Repub county clerks who refuse to certify the vote in their county if trump loses. I think Marc Elias could be very busy after the 5th. Win or lose trump will claim the election was rigged against him. Another free and fair election, as the last one was, will do nothing to stem the belief by The Following in widespread election fraud.
So you won’t make a prediction on who will win but every prediction you will make is tailored specifically for Harris winning. You might as well just predict Harris winning. You’re 99% there already
Wrong! Read the title. These predictions are for election day (and night). At that point we won't know who wins. Trump will be doing those things REGARDLESS of what the results are showing.
Yep, “Trump will do this” and “Republicans will do that”. Zero mention of Kamala whatsoever. Or even anything remotely resembling a Democrat. It’s pretty clear your partisan angle. a far more accurate thread title would be “Here are my predictions on what Trump and Republicans will do”.
Lawyers on both sides will be equally busy filing suits. It's what they do. After all, the US was founded as a government of the lawyers, by the lawyers, and for the lawyers (and some of their more important clients), so what do you expect?
Oh! Was THAT what you were complaining about? I didn't mention it because it's not that interesting. She will do what ALL non-fascist candidates have done ... FOREVER. If she loses, concede and step aside. If she wins, start attempting to reunite the country. But this thread is what they will do on election day (including election night)... Kamala will do NOTHING. I mean... not much publicly other than to smile and wave whenever she's in front of a camera. Not unless the elections are called that same night. I doubt they will but... maybe.... that would be a different story. Of course the assumption is that nothing extraordinary will happen. Like full-scale violence by MAGAs. But I doubt that will happen. Not on election night, at least. That was a pretty absurd demand you made.
Wow! This doesn't happen very often, but I agree with everything you wrote, but only because it has been crystal-clear to me for months that Kammy Harris and "Elmer Fudd" Walz are indeed going to WIN! However, in the highly (HIGHLY) unlikely event that Trump were to win, everything thing you wrote would be word-for-word true of what the Harris/Walz campaign would do, right down to the last allegations of voter fraud, and all the rest of it! But I keep telling you, Golem -- relax! When this whole rotten, stinking charade is finally over, Kammy will be in the Oval Office, Donny will be fitted for an ankle bracelet to wear during his parole, and the only real 'winners' will be these guys.... ."Hey, it just doesn't get any better than THIS!"
Could have wrote all that for you and a hell of a lot more concisely. “Kamala and all the rest of my Party will be angels of course!” Thanks for proving me right.
This would be true even if Trump wins. Remember: these predictions are for election day (and night). It's unlikely we'll know who won at that point. In fact, it's most likely that Trump will be ahead at that point. Given that most states count the same day ballots before they count the early voting ballots. If Trump wins MAGAs can use the excuse (for whatever it's worth) that they didn't know better. They are pretty much caught in a cult mentality. But those who voted for third party or didn't vote DID know better. So for their peace of mind, I hope you're right.
Progressive Privilege: Walz Calls Elon Musk 'That Gay Guy' Name-calling is fine if Elmer Fudd Walz does it.
Great! Another one who agrees with my predictions! I just beat you to it, right? I have never claimed to be more concise than the average. I only claim that I'm more often right than wrong. And I attribute this to what my SIG says.
I'm astonished that Walz could be quite THAT stoopid! Link: Tim Walz appears to call Elon Musk a 'gay guy' | Fox News Video I wonder what the LGBTQIA+ faction think about "Elmer Fudd" Walz now! ."Hush! You were supposed to ignore that!"
Oh, they are fine with it. Their endless "outrage" is feigned and for political effect. Somehow this doesn't make them feel "unsafe".
Wrong again Golem, I was observing the shallow partisan transparency of your writing in my ability to have written it for you, not an agreement with it. You libs and what you say are very easy to duplicate, it’s just that some of you are much more long-winded and ham-fisted about it. You qualify for the latter, which I’m glad you readily admit.
Well, thank you for re-writing it as YOU understand it. But since you don't dispute it, you ARE agreeing with it.
I think I should have included this in my original post... 6- More fraudulent voters will be caught trying to cheat. NOT that there will be more people cheating. Just that more will be CAUGHT. Because of the extra measures that will be in place. The large majority will be ATTEMPTS to vote. Maybe with a fraudulent ID, or somebody voting for a dead relative or, in general, somebody who is not authorized to vote will try to do it anyway. So more being caught implies that MAGAs will claim this is "proof" of voter fraud when, in reality, it's just evidence that the system WORKS!
According to reliable information sources like The Hill, election fraud is rare in U. S. elections. Here's an article from five days ago: Election fraud rare in US elections, despite persistent claims otherwise However, the contributor to this story was a certain Elaine Kamarck, a senior fellow in governance studies at the Brookings Institution. The Brookings Institution is rated as having a "Left-Center" bias, although it is reputed to rate as 'very high' for factual reporting. Link: Brookings Institution - Bias and Credibility - Media Bias/Fact Check So, who do you believe? Voter fraud has been a 'bone' persistently chewed by all political 'dogs', especially ever since 1948, when liberal Democrat, Lyndon B. Johnson, stole a senatorial election in Texas... the infamous "Box 13 Scandal": Box 13 scandal - Wikipedia Nevertheless, you're surely right that no matter who wins, there will be charges and counter-charges aplenty in this year's election, as there have been in so many others. And, since it's an almost dead-set certainty that Kammy Harris and "Elmer Fudd" are going to win, nearly all the complaint will be coming from Republicans.... ."Have no fear -- I'm guarding the ballot box!"
