The only question now is ...

… will Trump completely “lose it” before he loses the election?

The Dotard’s mental meltdowns are becoming more frequent – as well as more obvious, more severe, more pronounced.

Will The Donald be able to hold it together for the next three months – or, more to the point, will the GOP be able to hide the Madness of the Wanna-be-King from the citizenry between now and November?

The Republicans already know they’ve lost the WH, and probably the senate. The most they can hope for now is coming out of the GE without looking like their “pResident’ – the one they sold out their country for – was always as unfit for office as everyone said he was.

They’ve undoubtedly prepared for the Ultimate Meltdown that will happen when Biden is declared the winner – a scene that will be played out behind-closed-doors.

But have they prepared for the growing possibility that the Ultimate Meltdown will take place in public view – perhaps on national TV?

It’s apparent that Trump is willing to go scorched-earth once convinced of certain defeat. Do the PTB in the GOP realize that means their entire party being incinerated as part of the process?

Hey, it's not like I'm complaining about their predicament - I'm just raising it in order to savour it.

When the polls finally break thru and he realizes that-

(1) He Lost
(2) He will be prosecuted.

And then he becomes the loser autocrat that we already knew. Forever, the Greatest Presidential Loser of All Time.

Sucks to be him.

I doubt that they will, unless they lose control of the Senate. But Mitch is still in control until January. So, I expect he will remain an asshole.

Dammit, we deserve to see the final barking-mad, willie-wagging meltdown right from the comfort of our living rooms!

Think of the ratings!

Much needed hope and less anxiety. Been all twisted up a8lways researching and flipping at the shit they are doing and done. I'm breathing. Surrounded by conservatives that forgot how to think. You know how that goes. So thanks you guys for being here. You know Dems aren't all that evil at all!

With mail-in ballots, he will attempt to end the count when the polls close, ignoring mail-in counting. Some Republican State Supreme Courts in red states could be receptive to such an initiative.

My thoughts go to an EO declaring the whole election unfair and rigged and crooked. So if Biden clocks in at 320 EV's, Trumpers could try to chip away at that total, and then go full void.

We're not out of the woods.

and his followers will say he's at his best.

The period between his utter defeat and his reluctant departure from power will likely be "scorched earth" ugly.

Then we'll listen to twelve years or more of petty whining from the right.

It’s too risky. Trump is too dangerous. The nation is in a precarious position. The republic is too fragile. I am too worried about the immediate future to care about the awkward position in which many Republicans find themselves.
