They know he's going to lose big(ly) and they're scared

To death to work with him.

They can plot and plan do bots on FB and all that stuff but the sheer magnitude of the masses who have had enough is going to act as a tsunami and wash all the detritus-laden Rethugs out.

Are you better off than you were four years ago?
All politics boils down to economics
How’s unemployment at election time?
How’s your health?

It’s the most remarkable concatenation of circumstances in my lifetime including the financial collapse/Iraq War fiasco/Sarah Palin trifecta.

Yes we have to run as though we are behind, yes there’s voter suppression, yes there’ll be cheating. It most likely not going to matter.

It’s gonna be a rough ride, however.

They will cheat to win. That’s a given. Defending against those cheating attacks with a preemptive strategy will keep miscreants on defense.

Cheating is certain. And the only way for a candidate to win with fewer voters is to suppress the other side.

Suppression. Watch for it more than ever, if that’s even possible

They cheat because they are like mafia fixers whose only goal is to get the job done and get paid (or as a sycophant).

Show no mercy. Once they are scared you can demoralize them Lambaste them every chance you get. This is sweet payback and more effective strategy. Let them have it for all you've got!

Best way to combat election fraud (?) can be written both ways.

Mail-in, in person?

They’re trying to damage the Postal Service. Safe in person voting procedures nationwide should be established...the same in every single American precinct in every state...no confusion (well...)

Rough times, interesting times, dangerous times...time for a change.

Numbers were called 30 minutes after polls supposedly closed.

I had voted by mail at times, wanted to see the new machines. Two choices, electronic or paper scanned. I will now vote absentee every time.

Voter turn out was up, even for a Primary and local issues.

I can see him now, riding a golf cart down the driveway straight into a prison van with a ramp!! His "senior aides" (Jared and Ivanka) walking behind, clad in orange jumpsuits. Next comes little Mikey Pence, handcuffed to Mother, then Billy Low Barr, Stephen Miller, Mnuchin, whoever has the other "jobs" in this mis-administration. Great day for America. THEN and only then will we be able to Make America Honest Again.

now want answers as to what happened and why they were caught so off guard. I do not want to say they want blood, but I just did. I also believe that as the shock of this wears off or on more and more Americans are going to say how did this happen.

The Dumpster wanted to protect the economy and he was penny wise and pound foolish. Tried to sweep it under the rug and hide it. If he had tackled it head on much of this could have been prevented. Is this the price we have to pay to get rid of his Corruptness and the reThugs?

..Trump is like the salesman who comes by your home trying to con you 14 times in one month. He rings the bell, & you open the door, and the first time, he gives his pitch on what he is selling, you might listen. (If the talk is short) By the 3rd time, you ask him in a nice way not to come back. By the 7th time you slam the door in his face, & the 10th time you call the police.
...Trump is what he is. I wish he would resign, right now, but he is who he is. When Trump loses in November, it will be a major loss for the Republican Party across the nation. Trump has come to the door too many times, and most of us are sick of him...
...It is possible that 30 - 30 % will vote for him in November, but that means 65 % will vote for us.
...Again, Trump has come to the door to sell his "things" too many times. And his lies have worn thin. It is not his first sales call..It is his 200th time he has come to the door. It is the same sales pitch as before: lies, lies, lies and more lies. Like a very poorly rated TV show that should have been cancelled the 3rd week, but stays on because the producer & the network boss have a .."thing going on"
(You decide what that "thing is)
...I too hope that I stay alive " long enough to see them crash and burn"..It will be fun to watch when it happens.
