He's going to be utterly humiliated

[malaise]

on November 3. I can't fucking wait. People are Waiting to Exhale.

[Sherman A1]

1. Hopefully you are right

I want it to be a soul crushing defeat for the republicans.

[NurseJackie]

2. I want to see the tears and sadness at their victory parties.

[malaise]

3. I'll watch those days later

I'll be watching our celebrations while in the background my playlist will be booming.

[NurseJackie]

5. ...

[Sherman A1]

4. I feel for the folks having to work those parties

Both waitstaff and the media. I think they will have a rough evening.

[Mike 03]

6. So utterly crushing that Trump's children forever abandon any

ambitions to get into politics.

[Sherman A1]

9. Agreed

I rather hope that they spend their remaining days in a life filled with lawyers defending themselves against the endless corruption changes I hope to be filed. After which as guests of some of of nations “best” penal facilities.

[Lonestarblue]

35. Perhaps China will revoke the patents they gave Ivanka and Trump Org. to add to their misery.

Once Trump is no longer president and unable to rob the US Treasury blind, he will declare Trump Org. bankruptcy within months. His businesses will continue to suffer because people here and around the world hate him and will not stay in his hotels. His rich Mar-a-Lago friends will desert him because he can no longer give them tax cuts or share secret information to help them game the stock market. His legal bills will go through the roof to defend against future NY indictments and possibly federal ones if he hasn’t been pardoned. And once Trump’s loans that he personally signed come due, he may have to declare personal bankruptcy unless he has stashed a huge part of that $1+ billion campaign fund somewhere offshore, which I think he probably has done (along with the missing millions from his inauguration fund).

Trump will have to pay for his own lavish lifestyle once he leaves the White House. It’s great when taxpayers have to pay roughly $3 million every time Trump uses Air Force One, which is all the time, but costly when you have to pay for your own plane. And now that Melania has a revised prenup, she may well take a chunk of money and leave. After all, there’s not much there for her by staying with Trump. The world will not welcome she and Trump the way it has the Obamas.

Trump’s rabid supporters cannot bail him out because they have too little money. And once his usefulness to Russia is gone, he won’t be getting more money from Putin. He might be able to work with the Russian mob to continue laundering money for them, but a DOJ with a real AG might be looking for that.

I look forward to seeing Trump and his corrupt family get their just rewards.

[intrepidity]

44. Wouldn't bet on it

One of them will be champing at the bit by '24. We can't become complacent after Nov 3rd.

[GoneOffShore]

76. Vigilant, but celebratory.

[smirkymonkey]

7. I so hope you are right, malaise.

I just want this nightmare to go away forever. This is going to be the longest two weeks of our lives.

[mopinko]

8. i worked a congressional campaign once. a real hail mary.

we knew we were gonna lose, we just wanted to lay down a marker.
ended up 60-40.
took forever to count the votes to the point where it was time to concede. like 3 hours.
local media crawled all over our party that night. chatting ppl up, w a camera in our faces.

i finally walked over and told them to turn off the camera. "just shooting b-roll" dude whined.
me-"you've got enough b-roll"

i want all the b-roll nov 3.

[theaocp]

10. He can't be.

He's spent his life perfecting his personal version of "heads I win, tails you lose". It's like a emotional mattress factory for his ego. It's why he whines fucking ALL THE TIME. His life is nothing more than playing the refs. Just expire, already. Fertilizer is his only useful purpose.

[lastlib]

14. Pity the plants he fertilizes........

He will serve one other useful purpose--he'll give me a place to relieve myself.

[Johnny2X2X]

11. He's being humiliated now

38 million people have voted. Everyday is Election Day and there’s nothing he can do to stop it.

[Bubs55]

13. Early voting for me is this weekend.

I don't care how long I have to wait in line, and I'm an older guy with a pre-existing condition.
I will bear it out, no matter what.

[Johnny2X2X]

15. This is looking more and more like a rout

All the turnout models show that heavy turnout spells doom for Trump, well we might hit 90 million early votes, that would mean only 60 million people voting on election day would be a massive turnout of 150 million.

No one is sitting this one out like they did in 2016. Trump has done nothing to expand his base, he's going to end up with around the same number of votes he had in 2016.

I think the polls are wrong, Joe will win by more than them across the country.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

50. GOTV: I want to see 65 million Democrats voting on election day!

Let this election spark massive reforms to make voting painless, simple, quick and easy for every eligible citizen. Let it also spark reforms to make it verifiable -- no electronic voting and every vote able to be counted by the public.

[yellowdogintexas]

61. 41 million have already voted and some states don't start Early Vote until Monday

We started on Oct 13 and the vote totals already exceed the total early vote from 2016.

[yellowdogintexas]

62. we have totally awesome new voting equipment! Touch screen to make your choices

then print out the ballot right there and drop it in the scanner. Total paper backup.
The selection machine has no memory; after it prints the screen goes blank. the only data storage is in the scanning mechanism which travels to the election office with the paper ballots.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

64. Nobody sees electrons flying through the wires.

[mucifer]

18. wear two masks. It won't be harder to breathe and it could help a little bit can't hurt

[getagrip_already]

28. I've double masked since april.......

I put a home sewn fabric mask over a surgical mask. Doesn't make it any harder to breathe. It just made sense.

[yellowdogintexas]

63. I keep telling people that it isn't voter suppression causing those long lines!

It is total determination on the part of the voters.

We have 17 days of early voting and 50 locations. Folks did not leave the lines they were in on Monday; I true statement was being made.

We have 75,000 mail in ballots so far.

[malaise]

16. True true

Can't wait for the last debate

[joshdawg]

12. My sentiments exactly! My vote is for tarring and feathering him on his White House exit!

I'm hoping for an electoral landslide, even tho' I think the EC should be abolished.
I predict trump will only win one state, Texas.
I live in red state Texas and in a very red city.
If the most hated man in Congress can win a Federal Senate seat, Cruz, against a very popular Democrat, Beto, then there is no hope, at least on my part, of Texas turning blue for a good long while.

But then again, I could be wrong..............maybe.

[flying_wahini]

21. Well don't be too sure. Sooner or later we WILL turn blue.

I want Beto to run for Gov, too. Or Clay Jenkins.
(Ft Worth, here )

[joshdawg]

27. Well, we may turn blue, but I don't know if I live long enough to see that happen.

Yeah, I like Clay Jenkins also. He'd make a good Governor .

Fort Worth here, also.

[yellowdogintexas]

59. I love Clay Jenkins! Fort Worth here also!

Did you vote yet? I am old so mailed mine. It is out of ballot board and waiting to be counted.

Our mail in ballots are counted beginning at the end of early voting - no stray votes in Texas.

I love what Beto is doing this year! We are going to flip some TX House seats because of him.

Powered by People is having a big phone bank tomorrow evening.

[joshdawg]

70. Yeah, I'm old also, but

I voted the first day of early voting. Only had to wait in line for less than 15 minutes. Not bad!

[dalton99a]

26. Texas will turn blue within years. It is inexorable

The Texas House is doable this year.

Some counties will remain red. California still has counties that elect Nunes and McCarthy

[joshdawg]

29. May be doable, but........

we have two republican Senators, Cruz and Cornyn..........a republican governor, attorney general, and a lieutenant governor..........all of whom are bat-shit crazy. And yet republicans get elected and re-elected all the time. Go figure.
I've grown weary of republicans. (heavy sigh)

[cannabis_flower]

73. Don't be so sure about Texas!

Last poll of likely voters had them at 47% each.

[joshdawg]

75. I see the polls.

Like I said earlier, I hope I'm wrong, but..............

I'd like nothing more than to see Texas turn blue. I'd like to see a Democrat in the Governor's mansion, an attorney general, and a lieutenant governor as well. I'd also like to see two Democratic Senators, instead of Beavis and Butthead that we have now.
I'd like to see another Ann Richards as Governor. I've lived in Texas all my life, and unfortunately when election time comes, the mindset of a lot of Texans is that when they see an R next to someone's name on the ballot, that is who they pick regardless of the qualifications of that republican candidate. Seen it happen too many times.

Hope you have a good day, c_f.

[NoMoreRepugs]

17. Should the RUMP lose, which I believe he will, I truly

fear that what he and his most rabid followers might do afterwards might change our country for a very long time.

[Newest Reality]

20. I agree.

[yellowdogintexas]

60. the transition period truly gives me nightmares

I dread the possibility of the thing he will do.

[NoMoreRepugs]

78. IMO too many people don't understand how truly evil the minions are that this madman

has surrounded himself with. Read the Vanity Fair article on Miller - he is a monster.

[sop]

19. Trump will never concede, he'll contest all swing state vote counts, suits will be filed and his

followers will threaten violence.

[bronxiteforever]

22. Kick & recommend. Thanks for the good election vibes!

[Jon King]

23. I don't think there will be violence...

I think Trump knows from internal polls that it is over. Now his rallies and twitter are about firing up his base for what he hopes will be his private army to protect him once he loses. But in the end it will be a nothing burger. The vast majority of his supporters besides the very wealthy who want to pay no taxes, are just local nut jobs. They will cry in disbelief election week and go on to the next shiny object. Once those Michigan clowns had their mugshots posted all over the world, I doubt many local plumbers in the militia want to throw away their lives for Trump. I think he does not concede, tries to fire his supporters up on Twitter, nothing really happens, then Trump skulks off to begin his legal battles. The good thing is Facebook and You Tube have eliminated the pre election planning of his supporters with militia and Qanon bents, so they really can not communicate anymore in large numbers. It would be far more likely for millions of liberals to take to the streets if the election was stolen than it would be for even a dozen Trump supporters to gather when he loses.

Could there be a few cases of his nutty lone wolf supporters doing something awful, sadly this will likely happen. But large scale violence and chaos that Trump wants when he loses, not going to happen. His rallies are mostly just blank faced dimwits with zero plans to do a thing but complain.

[malaise]

24. +1,000

This will not be close

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

56. "...blank faced dimwits with zero plans..."

[dalton99a]

25. National Fuck Trump Day is coming

[Waldo51]

30. I would like to see his face

when he reads the Nov 4th. New York Times headline "YOU'RE FIRED".

[Rorey]

32. Yes! And other headlines that say: LANDSLIDE LOSS FOR TRUMP

[moonscape]

66. Yes! "Greatest Landslide

in the History of the Country”

With the subhead:

“Nobody’s ever seen anything like it”

[Rorey]

31. I'm betting the whole trump klan is having a lot of sleepless nights right now

I can't wait to see the expressions on their faces.

[JCMach1]

33. TX will be very very close

He loses,. It's game over

[sarge43]

34. From your monitor, malaise

Make it so.

[IronLionZion]

36. I hope we have such a big blue wave we get results by then

but it could take weeks to count all those paper ballots Dems have sent in. So if election day exit polls are mostly Trumpsters they are already casting doubt on the results as a preemptive strike since they know they will lose in the mailed in and dropped off paper ballots.

[GulfCoast66]

65. Actually most states count them first thing on Election Day.

You will have Florida’s results by 10:30. If Biden wins it, and he will, turn off your TV. It’s over.

[IronLionZion]

67. I hope you're right

Orangeface will still bloviate about the results and fraud so I'm hoping it is a big enough landslide that Biden has a clear mandate. Senate too.

[GulfCoast66]

69. Most states will report that day. From what I've read Pennsylvania is the exception.

But when Biden takes Florida and Arizona it won’t matter.

The polls are wrong this year like in 16. But in the other way like in 18. The pollsters have corrected for the 16 minor errors but not for the turn out we are seeing. No one is sitting this one out.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

37. Hate to be a contrarian, Malaise but.....

I seriously doubt if tRump has the mental, emotional or genetic capacity to be humiliated and suspect all he will feel will be rage, resulting in some serious revenge. From what I've read about psychopaths (as an amateur), the pros say they don't feel remorse, empathy or sympathy or even regret, and refuse to be held accountable for their actions - - depending on the degree of psychopathy in each individual.

His biographers have said he cannot stand to be seen as a loser. This will be the worst loss of his life. He's always been able to fight his way into revenge mode, mostly by tying people up in court for years. It won't work this time, but I'll bet he already has a battle team on standby. He may even dog-whistle his nutcase followers into becoming violent.

I would not want to be anywhere near him on election night, or any of his family for that matter. It appears many of them and his staff suffer from the same mental disorders. We can also be certain a sizable number of his followers are mentally imbalanced as well and many have guns - lots of guns.

Thanks for bringing this up for discussion.

KY.......

[malaise]

38. He can Peale it anyway he wants

with his positive thinking shit but hte rest of us will recognize it for what it is - utter humiliation.
Those goons with guns know what's coming for their friends in Michigan and aren't that fucking stupid. Some of them already know prison life,

Even now I'm not sure he won't take up his toys and withdraw.

[Grammy23]

46. Malaise, I go back and forth on how tRump will react when he loses.

Some days I see him raging like a maniac, screaming and threatening revenge on anyone who is responsible for the loss. Of course, he is never to blame.

Then I wake up another day convinced he will have pre-arranged an escape plan. He won’t stick around to face the loss. He will have arranged to hop a jet to somewhere, anywhere so he doesn’t have to face the media and their thousand questions. Then he can avoid the inevitable arrest that will come when the legal issues turn into crimes.

Then I wake up and think OMG, he cheated again and “won”. We are royally f*cked.

Different nightmare every day. Truthfully, I just hope he loses — bigly — and accepts it. (Crying and sobbing in the background is ok.) Followed by arrest for his crimes. We have had enough. Defeat, followed by arrest is the only fair and just way for this to play out.

[Pacifist Patriot]

39. I'm starting to feel it.

I have been cautiously optimistic, but seeing the early voting number tidal wave building and the scandals rolling in like tsunamis is giving me more than just hope.

Waiting to exhale. Excellent choice of words.

[malaise]

42. You cannot win elections after you dismiss the deaths of nearly a quarter of a million

people. His criminal negligence re Covid-19 was always going to lead to his demise.
Add to that the non-stop lies the ignorance and incompetence. Dems also have more money.

VOTE!! ByeDon!

[Pacifist Patriot]

47. Done!

[Stuart G]

40. I don't think Trump has a clue...says Stu..

[malaise]

43. Nice poet

[peggysue2]

41. Humiliated, Repudiated and Obliterated!

So fully deserved, too.

[malaise]

45. Can't wait

[Grammy23]

49. I wish Election Day was today, Malaise!

I am so looking forward to seeing him destroyed. Defeated and humiliated. I think of him mocking the disabled journalist and it infuriates me so much that for THAT alone, he deserves to go down to defeat. I think of the children separated from their parents and I know the only fair thing is for him to be crushed in defeat. One loud voice needs to tell him no. Not just no! But HELL, ..NO! I remember the Covid victims, both living and the dead and how he has felt nothing over that tragedy and I know he must be defeated. Nothing else will suffice.

And then he must be arrested for his crimes. He has avoided accountability all these years. The time for that to end is here.

So I cannot wait for Nov. 3rd. Finally, the nightmare can end. And we can celebrate. The noise of our rejoicing will be heard across the land. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂🍺🍺🍺🍷🍷🍷🎉🎉🎉🎉
Heard around the world!! Let the cheering begin!

[malaise]

52. Just watched Obama engaging with the young folks

It was a soothing massage for humanity

[Grammy23]

53. I was listening to him chat while I was replying to

Your comment! He is such a good guy! I love how at ease he is with talking to anyone. He is really good with the young folks. I bet he is an awesome father!

[malaise]

54. Ease is correct - He's a good listener

Kids love that

[beaglelover]

48. Don't get cocky. Remember how blindsided we were in 2016.

GOTV Democrats!!

[Grammy23]

51. Cocky? Never! Confident? Yes!

We can win this! Vote like your life depends on it. Only because it does!

I voted two weeks ago by mail and my ballot was received back at the supervisor of elections’ office.

[11 Bravo]

55. Please, God.

[TrogL]

57. Remember we have to get through the lame duck

He’s got more time to pull shit.

[GoneOffShore]

77. Unless he strokes out on Election Night or shortly after when reality hits.

NAD but considering all his risk factors.....

[jimlup]

58. Get out the vote!!!!!!

I voted today

[csziggy]

68. Remember all his bragging about his "historic" win in 2016?

He's going to learn what a truly historic win is! I can't wait!

[KentuckyWoman]

71. Rec'd ...for hope.

[cannabis_flower]

72. And yet--

There will be people who will say it was rigged because Trump is saying so!

[Withywindle]

74. Today my mom and I drove to a state park for a hike in a part of NC that is very red

Northwestern NC, near the VA border

This is deep red republican territory. And there were a lot of Trump signs, as expected - but not as many as expected. My mom said they were far fewer than in 2016. And they seemed to be limited to the real die-hards: the houses that also had multiple Confederate flags, Gadsen flags, homemade signs with terrible spellings etcetera. The kind of house that even if you desperately need help, you'll pass by as quickly as possible.

AND...there were also Biden signs in places we did NOT expect to see them. Including at least one house decked out in no less than FIVE Biden/Harris yard signs, a Biden flag on the shed, and a big handpainted Biden Harris sign on plywood (all spelled correctly).

This gives me hope, because obviously these households are outnumbered here. BUT they are no longer afraid - or if they are, they're still willing to put them up and make a stand.
