What happens if there’s no clear winner?

WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE’S NO CLEAR WINNER? There has been a lot of loose talk from both presidential candidates about rigged or stolen elections of late, and many predict a lengthy legal battle over the presidency.

President Trump warned this week that the outcome could be in dispute for “months and months” or “for years.”

But let’s not get ourselves all knotted up in the claims of our hyper hyperbolic president or his rhetorically sloppy challenger, Joe Biden. Instead, let’s run through the realities of an inconclusive presidential election.

If it had to go to SCOTUS like Bush v Gore, we’d be in trouble for sure, with John Roberts voting against Trump no matter what.

It does not work that way. Even if everyone who voted for Trump, and a few more would vote for him again, the historic Obama coalition of 2008 will easily sink Trump. And if MO is on the ticket, the 2008 coalition will only increase dramatically.

It is not being stupid. If you read the scenario I posted, how would the electors come to a conclusion, and would it be argued in the courts?

Trying to make it as an elected official is received much differently than being annoited a pop culture pop icon. /gag

“I hope Trump has a plan.”

Maybe there will be an October Surprise — this time compliments of the GOP. If Barr were to release the hounds of the Durham investigation in October, things could get interesting — and a real game changer.

We agree. It’s going to be a pre-planned train wreck due to mail voting. And it will create just the climate revolutionaries have always sought to exploit.
Destabilization, disinformation, disloyalty and cultural destruction.

The answer is clear and known by all.

All hell will break loose.

Take it to the bank.

After my experience with Obama, I made a decision I would never vote for a black president/V.P. again. They have too many internal racial issues to be able to competently serve as chief executive. Everything will always be on how they have been discriminated against, and they see everything as a race issue.

Look at Obama. He grew up in an upper-middle class family (his grandmother was a senior president at Hawaii’s largest bank), went to one of the top prep schools in the country, had primarily white friends and never personally suffered discrimination, and yet he immediately plays the race card as soon as he gets in office. He even speaks with a totally fake black accent.

Michelle “All This For A Damn Flag” Obama is another piece of work.

“this time compliments of the GOP.”

Except the GOP wants Trump to lose.

Vote for members of the House of Representatives could also be a huge mess with lengthy legal wrangling.

Where in the Constitution do you find anything about “Presidential elections” or “networks calling it” ?

Nowhere, that’s where.

During last nights interview with AG Bill, Bill Mark Levin stated that the Biden camp has already hired 600 lawyers. I did a search and there are numerous articles:

The Chinese and the left released their virus a little too soon, if they had waited about 4 months, they would have had a much better chance and yes, in my heart I do believe they are in cahoots with one another.

More of the same. More attacks on and murders of random whites. More policemen killed. More looting. The ‘rats won’t push it to full civil war because they know they’ll lose. But the current situation is working for them much better than their wildest dreams. So they’ll ratchet it up and we’ll get more of the same. The name of the game is to wear out the public so that it throws up its hands and gives up without a peep.
