Top Republicans Panic as Dems Take 'Astronomical' Lead in Early Mailed Ballots, Says Report

[people]

Top GOP officials have reportedly been sent into a blind panic after seeing numbers showing that Democratic voters in key states are returning mail-in ballots at much, much higher rates than Republican voters. According to The Washington Post, the Democratic lead in mail voting is so extreme that it’s led to urgent discussions among senior GOP officials. “It’s astronomical,” said one unnamed Republican strategist, who added that he was left “horrified” by the numbers. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has reportedly twice met with Trump to urge him to stop bashing mail balloting, and is said to have told others he’s worried that the president’s rhetoric could stop Republican voters—especially elderly ones—from sending in their ballots. Republican National Committee spokesman Mike Reed insisted there was no panic, saying Republicans “will come out in droves to vote in person” on Election Day.

1. After President Pennywise's massively crazy performance, Republican voters WILL stay home.

Trump is standing in his own grave and shoveling dirt on his head.

2. Weeks of mail in ballots cannot be overcome by one day of in person voting, no matter

How massive the turn out.

3. GOOD. Keep voting, Dems! We need a blue tsunami.

Vote in numbers so massive that cheating is not possible, that there is no question to the outcome. Not only will it crush donnie's hopes of getting installed by SCOTUS, his utter humiliation will be so, so satisfying.

VOTE.

5. i'm not surprised at all.

Trump keeps telling his voters that mail-in ballots are terrible, so perhaps the more stupid of his voters will refuse to mail in their ballots. Perhaps they'll also be afraid to go to the polling places as well, due to Covid-19 and the dreaded Antifa.

Net result - Trump loses in a landslide?

6. Sounds like we're leading the early vote by about 2:1

assuming people vote their party. That's a very good sign. I think more movement will be away from Trump rather than towards him.

The result will be that by election day we'll have an almost insurmountable lead. We can watch the Republicans panic and plead with their base to turn out...but they'll get a SINKING feeling that it's over.

The fact that Trump's unmasked rallies will spread disease and death is a sad reality that might also work in our favor, discouraging election day turnout. I wish it weren’t that way, but Trump did that to himself.

9. Yesterday there was an article about how postal workers are prioritizing ballots.

They are also going through bins of delayed mail and pulling out medications and checks to see that those get delivered. And many are working after hours with no pay to see that mail is delivered. Now THAT is true patriotism.

10. They've always served America

So proud of them

11. They say that like it's a bad thing...

12. The time for "top reTHUGlicans" to panic was in 2015 when they selected tRUMP as their

nominee. They've had a chance for their coop (bare with me) but now the chickens are coming
home to roast*!
