Trump’s baseless claims of widespread election fraud

Yeah, keep telling yourselves the claims are “baseless”. The “vaccines” are “safe and effective”, too. Oh, and the flu completely vanished in 2020 and 2021. Morons and liars.

[VRW Conspirator]

Christopher Cadelago and Adam Wren...

Trump is the symptom.

[cymbeline]

“embarrassed his last remaining rival in the presidential primary”

Voters did that, not ATrump.

[McGavin999]

Trump is a leader. He’s not some mystical being who has bent us to his will. He is the man we have chosen to lead us, the strong one who represents all we believe in, who can take all they throw at us. His strength comes from us ….and from God through our prayers for his protection.

This is a great country, it needs to survive, the world needs it to survive too. It’s a fight that needs a man like Trump to win.

[Sicon]

“We are heading foe another defeat in 24”

Trump was NOT defeated in 2020. The fraud and cheating was beyond anything the democrats ever managed to do before. The only way Trump “loses” this year, is by even more massive Democrat cheating and fraud.

Over the past 15 years or so, we have been subjected to an avalanche and continuing chorus of lies. It cannot go on.

That one has Stage 4 TDS. No help for it but to chime in hate for the candidate the voters have chosen.

The Bulwark would be a fitting place for that one.

I believe it was all planned. So they are just noticing Biden’s condition? They will get him out of the race and put in their ringer. They could not have done this until now because they would not get all the items done on their list.

lol..........

[Liz]

The part I like best.......thinking how irked Biden must be.

Probably regrets using lawfare against Trump all of which propelled Trump to the very top.....
with Trump’s supporters gathered more strongly to him due to their disdain of Biden’s tactics.

[batazoid]

I agree. As much as I’d like to agree with Politico, it just ain’t so. The political elites in both the Senate and the House are and have always been for the last twenty years controlled by big money, that is to say, by the U.S. Chamber of Crypto-Fascist, Crony-Commerce. Former President Trump has always been considered an outsider disruptor to the establishment.

[Flint]

It’s pure hell when the people speak. The Dems just can’t allow it.

[Dr. Sivana]

I believe it was all planned. So they are just noticing Biden’s condition? They will get him out of the race and put in their ringer.

This way they can install someone without having to go through all that messy primary and debate stuff.

The problem is Kamala Harris. If Amendment XXV is invoked, she's the new incumbent. If they bump her for a white anything, people will get mad within the Dem base.

So, they can either take their chances with her, figuring they can at least control her if she wins. Or, they can come up with something on her and start fresh, taking their chances with a non-black taking her place (they do not have Ben Carsons or Herman Cains).

My guess is they will take the flak, and go NOT with Newsom, but with Beshear of Kentucky, a fresh face from the conservative part of the country, or Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan. Both are evil, hard left but can present well and are competent at running for office in non hard left states.

Even though that is all true, it is going to take a war and deaths to exterminate the progressive plague consuming America

There can be no, that is no, coexistence any longer

[hopespringseternal]

Exactly. The GOP establishment has no real constituency beyond “not democrats”. Anyone tapping in to what really matters to 2/3rds of voters can control the party.

[napscoordinator]

Independent voters are the majority. Depends on which side they land. Lots of months ahead yet.

[napscoordinator]

Trump should be in NY campaigning for NY-3. We need that seat.

[dforest]

The Independent BS is a myth that GOPe uses to justify their RINO candidates.

[napscoordinator]

Ok. I guess.
