In reply to the discussion: What is your sense of how this will end? [View all]Oneironaut
(5,486 posts)42. I have optimistic and pessimistic thoughts on the outcome.
Optimistic - Trump loses, but continues to be a gnat on Twitter. The Democrats take back the House and Senate. Trump tweets daily about how unfair and rigged the election was, and does his best (with Russias help) to start a revolt.
Pessimist - Biden wins both the electoral college and popular vote, but Trump wins by either using the Supreme Court or through faithless electors. There is a lot of funny business, and Trump is elected in a Putinesque win. The American people are livid, but no one with power cares.
