Trump raises prospect of needing to redo election

[Danmel]

Trump on Tuesday raised the prospect of having to redo the presidential election if states widely embrace universal mail-in balloting, a voting method he has relentlessly attacked in recent weeks, often making claims that are not backed up by any evidence.

“Universal is going to be a disaster, the likes of which our country has never seen,” Trump said at a White House event. “It will end up being a rigged election or they will never come out with an outcome. They’ll have to do it again, and nobody wants that, and I don’t want that.”

2. Already whining for a mulligan.

What a duffer.

3. Election should have been redone in 2016

When every US Intel agency found russian involvement.

14. Amen. nt

16. 👍

Get rid of EC! 🤬

[RhodeIslandOne]

36. His entire "legacy" should just be wiped out.

Gorsuck, gone

Boozin' Rapin' Brett, gone

All federal scumbags he appointed, fucking gone.

All laws he signed, gone.

All his appointments, gone.

Gone, baby gone.

[SheltieLover]

37. This!👆

Absolutely!

I think this is why they keep pushing back on Chris Steele's dossier - to keep reversals from being a possibility.

[bucolic_frolic]

4. Trump wants that very much because he knows he is LOSING because Trump is a LOSER /nt

[packman]

5. And how will he do that?

What mechanism is there for redoing a Presidential election? Another fantasy like building that wall.

[Thekaspervote]

27. Exactly!!!!

[certainot]

32. 1500 radio stations will scream for it, like they did for the wall. no need for an actual redo.

we are going to let them use those stations to scream that the election was rigged. they've been yelling for 20 years that democrats have been bringing in 'illegal aliens' to vote for them, giving them licenses and ID to vote etc and creating the pretext for passing voter suppression all over the country and democrats have done nothing to challenge the radio, the only advantage republicans have.

all those stations will be coordinated nationally and locally and used to scream about every glitch, every close race, and call every challenge by dems attempts to steal elections. any big important win by dems will trigger calls of fraud and election theft by dems. local election officials will be intimidated by the screaming dittoheads.

[dware]

33. So?

Let them scream all they want, won't change the fact that the Mango Menace has no authority to redo the election.

Yes, he is that stupid if he thinks that he can order a redo of the election.

[certainot]

42. like the wall there's no need for an actuala redo, it's just part of the general attack on

the biden/harris legitimacy - like they did with obama

even if it has no chance it stimulates and enables their alternate reality and their reps/sens ability to obstruct and get concessions from dems who think their 'concerns' should be a legitimate part of the democratic 'free speech' process and representative of a conservative constituency merely because dems have no clue it's just a few hundred racist asshole liars on the radio getting scripted by think tanks in US and russia.

until dems stop ignoring what talk radio does all day democracy will continue to erode. we might as well be studying fish without water.

[duforsure]

6. Trump often threatens things he knows he can't do to instill fear

He also knows his USPs scheme is backfiring along with his and Moscow Mitch's stalling any more stimulus checks. People are really pissed , and vowing to vote against him and all republicans, some forever after all they've done hurting us now. Everything is backfiring against them driving voters away more than ever now.

[Walleye]

7. Nuts. This is the redo

[left-of-center2012]

8. He needs to read the Constitution n/t

[niyad]

19. MO, he needs to have someone read it to him, slowwwwwwwwwly, explaining all the big words.

That should not take more than a week or so, yes?????

[Drunken Irishman]

9. lol

[DallasNE]

10. That Is His Goal

So what does he mean he doesn't want that. That is what the manufactured crisis with USPS is all about. Everybody knows that.

[RT Atlanta]

11. Vlad must've given him a helluva script to follow

to sow seeds of discord.

this could be why he needs an in-person performance review prior to the election?

2016 is what should be re-done (annulled) and all the invalid appointments to the Federal bench and S Ct set aside (among other actions).

[SheltieLover]

17. This!👆

Yes!

[yankee87]

12. 25th

Why doesn't the Rethuglican party invoke the 25th Amendment already? I can see the Lord Orange Cheeto in his bunker moving around non-existent militias fighting for him to stay in office in January.

[niyad]

21. Because the Cabinet secretaries are gutless trumpian hacks, busy lining their pockets.

[dalton99a]

31. They're greedy traitorous trash just like him

[IronLionZion]

13. His supporters should boycott the election in protest

[SheltieLover]

18. Great idea!

👍

[efhmc]

20. Now that is clever.

[efhmc]

15. Please stop giving oxygen to this scumbag and his attempt to undermine the election.

[Bayard]

22. In your dreams, Donnie Doofus!

The Constitution (you know--that thing you don't understand), says you will be outta there in January.

Even the Supremes won't back this ploy.

[ashredux]

23. There ain't no such thing as a "Do-Over"........

[C Moon]

24. Do-Over Donnie

[C Moon]

25. McConnell smiles and nods.

[dware]

26. Hey Donnie Bone Spurs,

1. You have no authority to demand a recount, and,

2. We are having a redo of the election, the 2016 election where we will rectify your bloated orange criminal ass out of office, along with your criminal gang.

In short, just shut the fuck up.

[jalan48]

28. Best 2 out of 3?

[samsingh]

29. traitor trump is a disaster the likes of which we have not seen

[samsingh]

30. trump knows he's going to lose and he's scared shitless

[Baked Potato]

34. "We're being persecuted !!" Old school playbook.

[PatSeg]

35. He says this crap on one hand

and then in North Carolina he sends out applications for mail-in ballots to his supporters. How does his base keep up with him? Good is bad and bad is good!

[Stuart G]

38. Just two more words: He's Nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Javaman]

[onetexan]

40. Ain't gonna happen. Don't let his shenanigans distract us.

We may end up with a President Pelosi

[Collimator]

41. That man will not stop talking

Until he winds up meeting the same fate as Mussolini, will he?

Mind you, I am not advocating violence. But I can picture plenty of people dealing with him and his stiletto-wearing ice sculpture of wife in the same way as was done to Il Duce and his mistress.

[stillcool]

43. reality is messing with his fantasy
