Well, yes, of course.

We can still delight in this piece of shit and the people trying to get him elected having a full-on meltdown though.

Polling and reports like this are theorized to make some would be voters complacent and then skip voting since they feel it’s going to happen anyway without their vote.

Scaramucci also tweeted, “When polls drop (and they will), Trump is going to go full on racist.”

Trump has always been a racist. We’ve always known it. I guess he can always escalate, but don’t pretend this is a new thing. Racism is at the core of his identity.

He still insists that they had criminal records when they did not and he knows that because at President he could background check anyone he feels like at a level no one else in this country could.

They’re not calling it a new thing. They’re saying he’s going to be more overt about it.

Keep in mind, there’s still a non-zero chance the guy just straight up says the N word in public before this whole thing is through. As blindingly obvious as Trump’s racism is, it can still get even more obvious.

Might not be enough. Apparently they have better plans in place to manipulate the voting proces into (incorrectly) declaring Trump and others the winner, even if the votes say something else.

That’s not going to work. This isn’t Venezuela. If official results differ from exit polls, Democrats would not accept it.

Trump fans are just loud. They’re not going to do anything.

This is naive thinking. They tried to overturn the result in 2020 and they’ve had four years to hone their strategy. Moderates who defended the election process last round have been pushed out of office. States with GOP legislatures in particular could refuse to certify totals and instead send electors of their own choosing.

It’s not as simple as who gets more votes. The process requires that officials at multiple levels of government work in good faith, and there are a lot of bad faith actors taking office. Look at who won the Maricopa County primaries yesterday. That’s the modern GOP.

Get your head out of the sand, they have a pathway to do this. Delay certification in the house, force it to be a congressional vote where each state gets a vote and more states have a Republican controlled delegation.

The pathway is there. We have to make the results so resounding that someone in the machine chickens out.

Yeah thanks. It’s still nice not to have to live in constant dread until then, so I’ll take the good news.

Although the vice president trails Trump by 5 percent in a national Rasmussen poll,

Oh wow, then Harris must be at least 10% ahead! That’s actually stellar news. 😀

Yeah Rasmussen is shit, but unfortunately every poll always seems to be D is up 5 points! Reality: D was down 15. :(
