There is no way Campaignless Biden could have won...unless...this man and Soros had the election sewn up prior to November 3, 2020...

Donald Trump may end up losing the 2020 election in the Electoral College, but he won the campaign that ended on Nov. 3.
Democrats had been talking of a "sweep," a "blowout," a "blue wave" washing the Republicans out of power, capturing the Senate, and bringing in an enlarged Democratic majority in Nancy Pelosi's House.
They visualized the ouster of Trump in a defeat so massive and humiliating that it would serve as an eternal repudiation of the man. And, most intoxicating of all, they believed they would be seen by history as the angels of America's deliverance.
It was not to be.
The American electorate failed to perform its designated role in the establishment's morality play. Indeed, Democrats ended Tuesday night terrified that America had again turned its back on them and preferred Trump to the leaders and agenda they had put forth.
By the campaign's end, Democrats were freezing the ball and running out the clock.
Consider the immense burdens candidate Trump had to carry.
Early in his reelection year, the nation was struck by the worst pandemic in a hundred years that, by Election Day, would kill nearly a quarter of a million Americans and cause an economic collapse to rival the Great Depression.
Trump had to endure daily the near-universal hatred and hostility of the nation's academic, media and cultural elites. How hostile is this city to President Trump?
He lost D.C.'s three electoral votes by a margin of 20-1.
Yet, even so burdened, Trump won 3 million more votes in 2020 than he had in 2016, and, as of midnight on Election Day, he seemed headed for victory in the Electoral College.
Giving the energy and effort he put into his campaign -- a dozen rallies in the last three days -- and the enthusiastic response from the huge crowds, Trump has much to be proud of.
Trump may lose the presidency, but Trumpism was not rejected.
Nor was it repudiated by the people if, by Trumpism, one means "America First" nationalism, securing our borders, using tariffs to bring back our manufacturing base, bidding goodbye to globalism, staying out of unnecessary wars and swearing off ideological crusades.
And if Joe Biden becomes our 46th president, the tenure of office of this visibly frail and enfeebled leader is likely to be among the more abbreviated in American history, and bereft of high achievement.
For Democrats appear to have lost seats in Nancy Pelosi's House, and, instead of sweeping to power in the Senate to make Chuck Schumer the new majority leader, Senate Democrats appear to have gained only a single seat. As of now, Sen. Mitch McConnell is set to be the gatekeeper to any passage of the Biden-Harris and Sanders-AOC agendas.
Good luck getting something enacted that Mitch McConnell doesn't like.
As of today, the 2020 election has restored to Senate Republicans veto power over any and all administration legislation, be it liberal, progressive or socialist. This election may have made McConnell the most powerful congressional leader since Lyndon Johnson.
With McConnell leading a GOP majority, Democrats would be unable to end the filibuster or pack the Supreme Court, and the GOP majority would have the power to kill the Biden tax plan, "Medicare for All" and the "Green New Deal." There will be no statehood and two senators for Puerto Rico or D.C., and no reparations for slavery. Mayors and governors seeking blue state bailouts to avoid defaulting on overdue debts will need McConnell's blessing.
In times past, there was often comity between the parties, or at least an attempt at comity. In mid-August of 1974, after he took office, President Gerald Ford went before Congress to declare: "I do not want a honeymoon with you. I want a good marriage."
t was not to be. And in the ideological divide and poisoned politics of this city, there is little likelihood of compromise -- or even civility.
Biden faces other troubles, too.
The worst of the COVID-19 crisis, in terms of cases, hospitalizations and deaths, may be ahead of us. And Democrats will not be able to blame Trump indefinitely. And if their answer is, as Joe Biden has at times indicated, a national "shutdown," a Biden honeymoon is unlikely to last.
Bottom line: Joe Biden is not going to be the "transformational" president of his imagining. Nor is he going to be the "most progressive president since Roosevelt" as some Democrats have been promising.
And the reasons are obvious.
FDR had massive Democratic majorities in both Houses of Congress throughout the 1930s. And he won the presidency in 1932 by capturing 57% of the vote and 42 of the 48 states of the Union. In 1936, he carried 46 of 48 states, losing only Maine and Vermont.
Biden has no such mandate and no such power base, and he lacks the natural gifts of FDR. Sorry, but there is no new "Era of Good Feelings" in store for America. To the contrary.
Love President Trump.
I love Pat, but can’t get past that first sentence. A false premise will never reach a true conclusion.
To any Republican in public office please take the time to read my note.
Elections are a social contract put in place to avoid conflict. This contract assumes a fair and open election. Without this assurance of integrity of process we surely will be bound to the consequences.
Republicans are in a position to either accept the outcome of this election conducted fraudulently from the onset or reject it and resort to a constitutional remedy.
For those timid Republicans this is not an opportunity to exploit what gains that may have been made for the next election. But it is rather the last opportunity for the Republican party to remain an viable political party.
The conventional wisdom may say we surely will gain position in two years but be assured the Trump wave that produced more votes then Obama landslides will no longer be Republican.
Disillusioned with weak Republican members constantly being cow towed by the fighters in the opposition your support will evaporate to sit and watch as the ship of state fails.
Do not misunderstand and clearly understand we expect hero’s from our party or we will abandon you in droves to never return as it is now.
Republicans have it in their power to accept or reject this election and we expect you to reject this election. The future of the country depends on it and the future of the Republican party depends on it.
I don’t like this kind of defeatist thinking.
Bump to top... good points.
me either!!
Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?
The difference between Trump and everyone else is Trump doesn’t give up. He doesn’t partake in defeatist thinking. That’s why Trump rose to the pinnacle of power having run in only two elections in his life and decisively winning both.
The RINOs you refer to are not “weak”; they are compliant.
I don’t know that he’s lost anything, not unless they show me a transparent and honest election.
That hasn’t happened thus far.
Totally.
Hey, all we have to do in 2022 is get out there like Good Little Cannon Fodder for the Pubbies and VOTE for "The Lesser Of Two Evils"!!!
Or be washing our collective hair on Election Day.
Looks like I'm booked for that day, unless the Pubbies man up...
We need to contact all republican officials. All our reps, all the govs, and even those in the judiciary. Remind them of our support for Trump. Point out the illegalities. Remind them of how much TRUMP HELPED THEM!
We also need bunches of Floatillas, and car rallies, and spontaneous demonstrations. We need to keep up the pressure to strengthen our allies and discourage our enemies.
“ Donald Trump may end up losing the 2020 election in the Electoral College, but he won the campaign that ended on Nov. 3.”
Trump won the election.
No one who voted for him, BTW, will ever see it any mother way even if Trump were to ...well He wouldn’t. He will never concede to frauds taking over the country.
Nice, but look at what happened to the Reagan Revolution. The Gipper’s own Vice President began to dismantle it after moving to the White House himself.
And during.. Iran Contra.
The GOP is and will remain MAGA!
RINOs, your day is through. We are watching you. You may as well join the Democrats.
This is bunk.
There is no “Trumpism” without Trump.
Trump out mean the Dems run the Senate, House and everything. We’ve seen the GOP operate before, and frankly even during, Trump and we’re not stupid. The GOP IS!
There is no way Campaignless Biden could have won...unless...this man and Soros had the election sewn up prior to November 3, 2020...
He can run again in 2024.
