Pelosi fears Trump may borrow page from Democratic playbook by challenging 2020 election legitimacy
RT ^ | May 5, 2019

Speaker Nancy Pelosi has warned her fellow Democrats that Donald Trump may question the legitimacy of the 2020 election if he loses by a slim margin – a cowardly political tactic not seen since the Democrats lost in 2016.

In an interview with the New York Times, the house speaker and de facto head of the Democratic Party envisioned a nightmare scenario in which Trump would attempt to “poison the public mind” instead of accepting a Democratic presidential victory in next year’s election.

Nance, if Trump loses “by a slim margin” I won’t believe it wasn’t stolen. In fact even if the Demonic party legitimately wins I don’t see how I ever accept God-Damned Christ-less utterly law despising liars as MY leader. No, Nance, America has a very big problem no matter what happens. You Evil ones have guaranteed that...

Exactly. They got away with it in 2018 and she wants to scare Trump off any challenges next year.

In other words, she believes their vote fraud must shoot for more than their usual.

Projection. Dems know they are going to cheat. They expect to cheat big, but might misjudge like in 2016. They know that their cheating will be visible. They just want to win and don't care how....

Especially since wide-spread voter fraud is being planned by the Democrats.

States conduct our elections. The breaking point on a contested presidential election might come -- any may well come soon -- when massive and apparent vote fraud in one or more states is so egregious that other states feel justified in rejecting the results certified by those states.

Democrats have been edging up to this line with their allegations about "voter suppression" in states narrowly carried by the GOP. The Democrats' allegations are nonsensical and fraudulent, but they are preparing the battlefield for a future challenge. Democrats now control the House; it would not surprise me a bit if Democrats rejected a narrow GOP Electoral College victory and attempted to throw the election into the House.

The Republicans will have a much better case if/when they really challenge vote harvesting and the institutionalized vote fraud powered by motor voter, mail in ballots, and Democrat election officials turning a blind eye to voting by illegal aliens.

Those belly tats will make fine landmarks when someone is trying to shove his intestines back in.

Yes. But I don’t see Trump winning by slim margin. I think it is going to be big, given the pathetic challengers on the Dem side and the incredible amount of winning Trump has done. People may not want to admit it to pollsters but I really think he has a huge amount of support: people who now have jobs they didn’t have before, people whose 401ks are doing well, etc.

Barring massive fraud, that is.

Right—the whole point is the fraud.

Again, look at how many races the Dems stole even after the vote (one of their favorite tactics when needed btw).

They thought they had enough stolen in 2016 but Trump’s vote was bigger than they anticipated.

The democRATS sound like they're going to adapt loser Stacey Abrams' tactic when she said, "We don't have to concede elections anymore. Just because we don't have enough votes, doesn't mean we lost."

Abrams just this week claimed she won the Georgia governor's election in 2018 and still refuses to concede even though she lost by 50,000 votes.

She claims "voter suppression" by the Republicans in the race caused her not to get the votes she deserved to put her over the top.

Hillary set the pace for this argument after going on a 2-year pity party tour where she threw out a thousand excuses for why she lost in 2016 but not one of them was her fault.

She has never admitted she lost because she was a lousy candidate that didn't campaign very hard. The DNC and the media kept telling her that a win was in the bag.

Expect more of this twisted logic in 2020.

I don’t see how they expect half the country to accept the outcome after all the seditious chicanery that they’ve been trying to pull off for last two years.

The only way they can “win” is to cheat, big time. Perhaps Miz Nancy will have to worry more about the Trump supporters rather than Trump.

We all do.

That is the reason many good people get rolled, they assume good in others.

We must learn our enemy and be prepared.
