      Just wait - starting 39 days from now we get to speculate if the election results will actually be obeyed or not.

      And that fucker will never stop being in the news - his family has a death grip over the GOP.

        I think most of the GOP are over him. He’s not been useful for any of them for a hot minute now. I think if he loses, they drop him as fast as they can.

          Trump appointed a family member as the GOP chair and it looks like Baron is being setup to get another nepotism appointment. That fucking rot goes deep.

          I don’t disagree that most GOP politicians want him gone - I don’t think he’s ever been popular with senators or house reps… but everyone still in an elected position is either a true believer or someone who knows to keep their mouth shut - the fucking voting base is insane. As a parallel I’d point to our unfortunate BC provincial politics where a party attached the conservative label to themselves and jumped from 0 to like 40% of the expected vote share overnight.

          Conservatives are fucking crazy and do not give a shit who their actual reps are - they’re entirely identity based voters.

            He’s 4 years older now and if he loses, add another 4 years into a now two time loser. His value is gone with a loss imo.

            He’s going to tank everyone down ballot. If everyone gets out and votes, the hope is this will be a landslide victory and the GOP will be punished for following trump in every election up for grabs this year. Including local elections

      Im not as hopeful as you are.

      For one, the media will run his bullshit “stolen election” garbage for as long as they can.

      For two, unless Harris has a blowout victory, I fully expect trumps cronies around the nation to skew and stall results to his favor creating a legal challenelge of epic proportions not seen since Hangin’ Chad.
