Trump Has Plan to BYPASS Election Results If He Loses

What happens if Trump dies between now and Nov 7?

Is this a trick question? A funeral at Mar-a-Lago, followed by an international sigh of relief? Biden becomes President-Elect, and William Barr seeks sanctuary in Russia? Jared and Ivanka would open a Trump Tower on the Black Sea in Odessa?

What happens if Trump dies between now and Nov 7?

An international celebration and the creation of a new national holiday: Dead Trump Day, which I would celebrate more religiously than any other holiday there is.

I can't think of anyone I've thought deserved to die more, and would look at it like the eradication of a terminal cancer, because that's exactly what it would be.

I would enjoy it more if he were tortured slowly, but I'll take what I can get.

Obviously Michael Pence would become president. Wouldn't Pence be the candidate or could the GOP put up someone else?

It's just odd to me that Kamala Harris who couldn't win more than 1% of Democratic voters would become the new candidate for President. Or would they put up Bernie since he came in second in the primaries?

There's an army of voters who will crawl over broken glass to vote Trump out of office.

First, I want to thank you for every post you made today. I read them earlier in the day and they yanked me down off the ceiling. When you said "Remember who Trump is" that really brought me back to reality. I don't like the reality but I think you are correct. This isn't someone willing to actually go toe to toe or face to face. He is a chicken sh-it coward who pays people to do it for him.

With regard to crawling over broken glass. There are folks in my all mail-in state asking where the polling places are because in spite of the fact that our state is all mail-in voting, they want to show up to cast their vote in person to make damn sure it gets counted.

Thanks again for being the voice of reason and rational thought!

You're welcome. I have family and friends who are up on that ceiling with you, and I've had a number of discussions with them. Scared of Trump is where they want us. I read the Art of War once. The main thing I took away from it was the importance of picking the terrain for a fight. Being frightened of Trump gives him power. Reminding people who he really is makes him a pathetic little man.

The spoiled ballots in PA shows how scared they really are. Those ballots were discarded because Republicans, with the support of the Trump administration, went to court to fight to have "naked" ballots -- those not in a security sleeve that goes inside the envelope -- treated as "spoiled" ballots and discarded. They were military ballots. There was no fraud. The folks who discarded the ballots were following the rules that the Republicans wanted and successfully got. Then Barr and the White House lied about it -- a stupid lie easily disproven.

Scared people do weak and stupid things. They're already scared. They want us to do weak and stupid things. Leave those things to them.

If Biden wins this election I predict things will deteriorate pretty quickly across most of the country. I tend to think we're in the last days. I hope I look at this post in 2 years and everything is great with no sign of an apocalypse. I hope I'm wrong.

ETA: I should say if Kamala Harris wins this next election. What happens if Biden dies between now and Nov. 7?

Biden isn't going to die before November 7th. If Biden wins, he might not be able to serve as President for the full four years. Kamala Harris will then become President. Harris is a liberal, more liberal than I am (I consider myself a moderate), but I would rather have her as President than Trump.

I think they'll just go ahead and kill Joe. It's interesting to me that the far left couldn't win this in a conventional election and had to choose a backdoor route.

What about Kamala Harris qualifies her to be categorized as the "far left"?

Straight from the Washington Compost

In case you haven’t noticed, there is a not-so-subtle campaign afoot to paint Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.) as a centrist — an effort that exposes the left’s strategy to fool the American people into giving them political power in November.

After presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden announced Harris as his running mate, the New York Times immediately declared her a “pragmatic moderate,” the Los Angeles Times called her a “centrist” and ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos told his viewers “Kamala Harris comes from the middle of the road, moderate wing of the Democratic Party.”

No, she doesn’t. Harris was the “most liberal compared to all senators” in 2019 according to GovTrack, the nonpartisan government transparency watchdog — to the left of even her democratic-socialist colleague, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Harris wasn’t “pragmatic” either. GovTrack found she “joined bipartisan bills the least often compared to Senate Democrats.” According to Manhattan Institute budget expert Brian Riedl, Harris has proposed a mind-numbing $46 trillion in new spending over the next decade. She supports the economically ruinous Green New Deal, Medicare-for-all and free taxpayer funded health care for undocumented immigrants. She is also an abortion zealot who has suggested that a faithful Catholic who belongs to the Knights of Columbus is unfit to serve as a federal judge. She opposes deportation of those who illegally enter the United States and once compared Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to the Ku Klux Klan.

If Harris really were a moderate, progressives would be up in arms over her choice. But they are not. Leftists understand that to win in November, they must be able to peel away reluctant Trump voters in key swing states who are uncomfortable with the leftward lurch of today’s Democratic Party. These voters need to believe that a Biden-Harris administration will be centrist and reasonable, so they can give themselves permission to defect and vote Democrats into power. So progressives and their allies in the mainstream media have tried to portray Biden’s choice of Harris as another example of how he has kept the left at arm’s length.

Progressives know it is a lie. Congressional Progressive Caucus co-chair Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) recently said the left need not worry about Biden’s moderate veneer because “he is movable.” As she told “The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah, “As soon as we get him in the White House, and even before with these task forces that we had, we were able to significantly push Joe Biden to do things that he hadn’t signed on to before.”

The left sees Biden as their Trojan horse. They want voters to look at his inoffensive, moderate, bipartisan exterior, and decide it is safe to let him inside the White House gates. But as soon as they do, an army of socialists will rush out — led by Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) — to impose a radical progressive agenda on America.

They have every reason to believe that will happen, because Biden has already given in to their demands. For more than 40 years, Biden supported the Hyde Amendment, which bars federal funding for abortions, even writing a constituent to say, “Those of us who are opposed to abortion should not be compelled to pay for them.” When he reiterated his support for the Hyde Amendment last year during the presidential primaries, he was chastised by none other than Harris, who declared, “No woman’s access to reproductive health care should be based on how much money she has. We must repeal the Hyde Amendment.” Biden quickly surrendered to Harris and the party’s pro-abortion radicals.

If Biden will capitulate to his party’s left wing on a fundamental moral question like abortion, what makes anyone think he won’t do the same when it comes to Medicare-for-all or the Green New Deal? Most candidates tack to the center after securing their party’s nomination, but Biden has already gone to the left, forging a “unity platform” with Sanders. The platform was a wink and a nod to democratic socialists — embracing a number of their demands and promising to “study” others once Biden is in the White House.

The left got the message: Once the election is over, Biden will move even further in their direction. Besides, progressives in Congress believe that they will be setting the agenda anyway, and Biden’s job will be to autopen whatever they pass and put on his desk. What is he going to do, stand with Republicans and veto their legislation? Progressives are more than comfortable spreading the myth of moderation, while they hide inside the belly of the Democratic ticket waiting for voters to open the White House gates.

Ajax, if all you're saying is true about the left, then you and your pals really f'd up putting in Trump. You should have put in Romney. I'm thinking of that sign George W. put up that said, "Do you miss me yet?" I probably do about now. If our future is a massive welfare state where taxes are 60% and no freedom, then in that day, the reigning conspiracy theory will be that Trump was a ploy by liberals; unleashed to reach too far, and ensure that no majority would ever vote for a republican again.

Romney wasn't even an option. Jeb was candidate proposing more of the same in 2016.
