What is Trump's strategy for stealing the election in November?

[kentuck]

You just know he spends most of his waking moments thinking about how he can scam and steal the election so he can stay in power and continue to dismantle America's democracy.

It now appears that he plans on using the USPS to disrupt and cast doubt on who voted and who didn't? The new Postmaster General seems to be on a practice run right now, three months away from the election?

It is scary also, because traditionally, Republicans have almost always out-voted Democrats in absentee ballots. Republicans are very comfortable with mail-in voting. The challenge for Democrats is to educate voters about the mail-in ballot before November 3rd. Many forget to sign their ballot. Automatic disqualifier.

If it can be manipulated or stolen, Trump will not hesitate to do it.

Eternal vigilance is required with this criminal.

2. No - he thinks Pootie is going to save his butt

Isn't that how Chump does everything in his life?

Why would Pootie give a rat's ass whether Chump gets re-elected or not. He already got way more than his money's worth out of Chump already.

3. It wouldn't hurt everyone to study my district in NC, where Republicans stole absentee ballots

back in 2018. The Republicans on Mark Harris' campaign literally went door to door and stole absentee ballots, unsealed absentee ballots, mind you, and got caught. Instead of punishment for it, they got to have a new election with new candidates. The people they indicted for doing it, haven't even been punished for it. Also, they cleared Mark Harris even though his son warned his father they were doing it while it was happening. This means he got away with it and wasn't ever charged even though his own son knew and testified he told his father while it was happening. Harris got away with it, as far as any consequences for election fraud. Harris, of course, ignored his son, so he could "win." He later cited health reasons when they let them have a whole new election and did not run the second time around.

The point still is that Republicans have already stolen mail-in ballots by going door to door. So, watch them for that in areas where people are not watching as closely. Make sure everyone even in the tiniest little burg in America knows not to hand over their ballot to anyone claiming they will turn it in for them. It is an election stealing, ballot stealing scheme by the Republicans. They got by with it during their test run in my district. So, they will continue to try it in other places as well.

4. That whole situation makes me furious

Dan McCready should be in Congress right now. The Republicans should have been disqualified and the Democrat automatically declared the winner.

6. I have a different take

Of course he's going to try to disenfranchise Democrats, do all he can to discourage mail in voting, fuck with the Post Office, etc. That's a given.

I just can't stop thinking that to him, everything is a TV or Movie Script.

I think it's going to be something like claiming he was infected with Covid, but was miraculously cured by plasma treatment, or some such, at Walter Reed. He will then announce that the military is being mobilized to deliver and provide this miracle cure.

Look, it may all be fantasy, but so was Star Wars.

He's going to try to give us some cliffhanger, blockbuster, Hollywood moment where the hero in the White Hat rides in on the White Horse to save the day.

He tried it in Portland. He'll try it again.

It's all he knows. His entire miserable life has been nothing but one sitcom or TV drama where he is always the hero.

7. Trump isn't smart enough to pull something like that off.

We read reports where world leaders consider Trump to be an idiot. Former members of his administration have said the same thing. We watch him on tv and think "He's an idiot!".

There is no evidence anywhere that would support the notion that Trump is several steps of everyone else and plays 3-D chess while the rest of the world plays checkers.

8. I don't think it has anything to do with intelligence...

I think it is just the way he is. He thinks he is a reality TV Director.

So long as he has his audience, he doesn't really care if a few people boo...

9. One has to have intelligence, lots of it, to do what you said in your OP

10. Some you've already decided he will, why are you asking us?
