Indeed. And the problem with irrational mania is that, when disappointed, it leads to irrational depression. I think it’s a little better than 50-50 that Trump pulls it out, but even if he doesn’t, there are a lot more fronts to this war than just the Presidential election.
We’re holding the Senate, we’ve picked up seats in the House, we’ve picked up state legislatures, and we control the Supreme Court. There will be no Green New Deal, court packing, assault weapons ban, or tax hike. Biden, should he win, will not be an effective president and will probably not be president for long. Can you imagine the lengths to which they will have to go to hide him as President? If Harris succeeds to the Presidency, she will be ineffective and deeply unpopular. And if she succeeds to the Presidency, McConnell will have a say in who, if anyone, is appointed Vice President.
Both because of our advantage in redistricting and because of history, we will probably take back the House in 2022 if Biden wins. If so, I sure expect them to impeach Biden and/or Harris on whatever grounds they can find—election fraud for starters.
Whether Trump wins or loses, this isn’t over by a long shot.
Thanks for that perspective..cheered me up a little, which I really need at this point.
Trump won - even losing Trump wins.
The Democrats wanted to repudiate Trump or Trumpisim - they talked about a landslide. They did not get that at all. They lost seats - don’t control all branches of the govt.
The Democrats - if it was a landslide for Biden would have even tried to go after Trump after the election. With these close results there is no mandate. Democrats are confused about who their base is and what message they win with. Especially if Trump remains a political force and with these results Trump can rightfully claim he was cheated. He can leave office while claiming he won and rightly so. Trump will control the GOP’s future not the scumbag Romney’s or Bushites or Rubio neocons.
I want Trump to win and fight to stay for a second term but short of that this kind of loss is a Pyrrhic victory for the Democrats.
