Trump is acting exactly like someone who paid the refs to fix a game but ended up losing anyway.

[Snake Plissken]

It's just a matter of time before he starts attacking the criminals who promised him they had this elected rigged for him to win

[budkin]

1. Absolutely

Someone convinced him there was no chance he would lose. Probably because it’s the only answer he would accept.

[Doodley]

2. I believe the fix was in, but unexpectedly it wasn't enough.

[ShazzieB]

16. That would explain why he got as many votes as he did.

It never made any sense that the election was as close as it was.

[Tribetime]

25. Me either

Ohio was along with Georgia and Iowa the 3 tossups....Georgia polling was correct but Iowa and Ohio 8% off. I can't believe Biden didn't do any better than Hillary here. Mainly because people had 4 years of his hate of everyone who didn't kiss his ass. Obama/Biden won Ohio twice.

[AdamGG]

36. Ohio, North Carolina, Iowa, Florida were probably rigged

It doesn't make sense that the same pollsters with the same methodology were on the money in some states and then so far off in other states. If there were "shy" Trump voters who don't like to admit to pollsters that they support him, it seems that that would be more likely in places like Massachusetts, where Trump is very disliked. But, somehow the pollsters measure his support accurately there, but they can't do it in Iowa?

If voting machines are hacked, it would be on a state by state basis and the only evidence would be that some states' results would differ from the polling. Also, I'd really like to see a breakdown of which zip codes had postal sorting machines removed from them, because there's no way that that was done randomly. That information should be available once Biden's people are in charge.

[uponit7771]

39. +1, either the polling in this country is the worst among all developed countries or voting is off

[Doodley]

47. He always projects. He always accuses others of which he is guilty. It makes him feel extra

smart. I just robbed you, but I'm not going to say it, I'm going to say you robbed me and you are the worst, most dishonest thief ever. That is his MO.

[ShazzieB]

18. That would explain why he got as many votes as he did.

It never made any sense that the election was as close as it was.

[zorbasd]

21. Has there been a numerical analysis done for

FL, NC, SC, and IA...the final numbers in these states seemed to be way off in comparison to the polls.

[uponit7771]

40. +1, looks like Trumps turnout for GA has to be 80% of all his 16 red counties & 85% voting for him

... which didn't happen.

It's easier to vote add than to flip or subtract, yes ... there's something wrong with Trump getting that many votes in the red counties.

[Doodley]

48. Florida is especially suspicious.

[wnylib]

27. Yup. I've been thinking this since

his ridiculous claim at 2:00 am on election night that he won. And with every claim since then that the election was stolen.

Just like in 2016 when he knew the fix was in with Russian help.

[unblock]

3. Yup. Been saying this myself. He thinks he got out-cheated

But of course, he simply didn't cheat enough to overcome how unpopular he was.

[Cha]

4. Yeah, he is.. & you know he did.

What happened, dejoy?

[halfulglas]

20. Woke a lot of people up.

That wasn't smooth at all. Blatantly dismantling equipment and taking away mailboxes woke up a lot more people than just cancelling overtime. Dems became alarmed enough to swear hell or high water we were voting but even people who weren't sure got mad and said that's not right. It was dirty and underhanded and not sneaky enough, especially since it inconvenienced a lot of people in the middle of a pandemic. And another way to piss off even more vets and military.

[Cha]

43. Yes.. Excellent synopsis, halfulglas!

All comes back to me.. the meds arriving late & everything else.. as you say it was So Obvious.

That was genius of them the let everyone know what they were doing.

And, Social Media-Twitter was Relentlessly Powerful getting out the Informative UPdates!

[Blue Owl]

5. He better shut up before someone squeals on him

On second thought -- keep flappin' that rectum-mouth Donny!

[imanamerican63]

6. He is blaming the FBI & the DOJ already!

There is no one who he won’t blame!

[agingdem]

7. you're right...

Trump did everything he could to corrupt the election process..he assumed the "fix" was in...what he didn't anticipate was the early voting numbers, the absentee ballots, the pandemic taking center stage, and Trump fatigue...

[ShazzieB]

12. Exactly! n/t

[uponit7771]

41. +1, out in the open with Ukraine, post office and telling his minions to vote twice.

[CrispyQ]

49. Trump fatigue...

Remember that story of someone in a car driving my horrendously long lines for voting & they stopped & asked someone in line, "How long have you been waiting to vote?" and someone else shouted out, "Four years!"

[Brother Mythos]

8. I can hardly wait to learn who Loser blames next.

As he's already blaming the FBI and DOJ, the next ones should be really good!

[ShazzieB]

15. I can hardly wait for his reaction when the electoral college cast their votes and

the results are announced. I wonder if he'll finally recognize then that Biden really IS the president elect. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

[mucifer]

9. Honestly, I would not have been surprised if Biden was arrested before the election. So glad

my worst fears so far haven't happened.

Now I just got 55 more days of hoping for no nuclear war. (That worry started 4 years ago).

[Sneederbunk]

10. He thinks he was outcheated.

He wasn't.

[smirkymonkey]

11. Just let him keep talking.

Sooner or later he's going to dig his own grave, and probably a number of others.

[Wounded Bear]

13. Excellent analogy...nt

[dflprincess]

14. Not unlike Rove

on election night 2012.

[fierywoman]

17. all the above ...

[SpankMe]

19. I really do think Trump rigged the election in his favor

But, the number of voters too turned off by him were so high that it overwhelmed the scheme.

This "dry run" will be perfected the next time around and be harder to counter. We must start right now working on election reform that will make vote casting and vote counting transparent and fraud proof.

[bucolic_frolic]

24. It's amazing we made as much progress on voting as we did this year despite opposition

I guess it was COVID motivated.

[reACTIONary]

30. I curious...

... other than the overt, known strategies and structural advantages (like voter id), what do you think he did to rig the election?

[ecstatic]

38. He's outright telling us, just flipping the company names around

The king of projection has been telegraphing his intentions since October 2019.

Which company does he want states to purchase election machines from, if not Dominion? 🤔

[reACTIONary]

44. I can't find any recomendation from Trump suggesting...

... that anyone buy voting machines from anyone. When did he make such a recommendation?

In any case, the hand recount in GA proved the integrity of the voting machines.

So I'm still wondering in what way or how this election was supposed to be "rigged".

[bucolic_frolic]

22. That's a bold & astute observation

He's none too happy with Kemp today. Who's next?

[flibbitygiblets]

23. I was thinking about this earlier today.

Why does he act so shocked? Is he really so delusional as to think he won? Or was he expecting a fix in his favor?

[DENVERPOPS]

26. Putin told him the fix was in.

Before the election, Old Lardass was acting like he and RepubliCON senators had already won........

Guess they badly determined the voter turnout..........

[czarjak]

28. Making your own reality has consequences! Vlad's glad though.

[wnylib]

29. This is also why he kept playing

to his base and made no effort to expand it. He expected to win anyway by fixing the election. Why try to woo others if you're sure of the outcome?

[Cozmo]

31. My biggest regret

Is that I won't be around long enough to see trump's reflection in history books

[SoonerPride]

32. We said we had to have a big enough turnout to overcome theft

And we did

[TomDaisy]

33. Like Michael Cohen said - he gives orders, just not in so many words. He makes his intent clear.

And he thought his order to state GOP parties was very clear --- "I win. Whatever you need to do, toss ballots, rig machines, etc. I don't care how you do it. I'm too lazy to care about those trifling details. Just steamroll me to a second term. But when I win I will cover your asses and you will never be held accountable for criminal actions. Look what I did for Stone, Manafort, Flynn."

Of course this was conveyed using the same ambiguous language he used with Comey about letting Flynn get off.

Mob-style.

He's probably kicking himself now thinking he should have spelled it out more clearly to them, because it seems like they did not get the message, from his point of view. That's part of his anger. Are these morons too stupid to understand what I wanted them to do???

[usaf-vet]

34. EXACTLY! Agreed! Repugs stealing and rigging the system at least since 2000

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=14637668

[SunSeeker]

35. Yeah, but he'll never attack Putin.

[ecstatic]

37. I can't wait. We're getting close to understanding how Mitch won

Keep talking, dump!

[sarcasmo]

42. Yep, Dejoy told Trump enough of the mail in ballots were Not delivered.

[Buckeyeblue]

45. I think Trump's closest campaign aides didn't prepare him to lose

My guess like everyone else around him, they didn't want to get blamed for bad news, so they weren't honest with him. Who knows, maybe they made up internal polling numbers to keep him happy and to stay on his good side.

When he didn't win, he was completely unprepared for it. So he did the Trump thing and claimed he was a victim.

There is a documentary about Mit Romney's 2012 presidential campaign. As the returns were coming in showing that Obama was going to win, they were all shocked. So shocked that they didn't have a concession speech written. But instead of immediately thinking the election had been rigged, Romney and team conceded and wrote a concession speech. It's an interesting moment. And I think how far we've fallen in the 8 years since.

[UCmeNdc]

46. Yes, I think Trump had the "fix" in.

He acts now like Biden just outsmarted him.
