U.S. Presidential Election

[steviewevie]

I just wonder if all this Trump bad loser stuff will not play well with republican party and they'll dump him and his family in any future presidential election...or they'll see how effective Trump can be with his anti establishment thing and stick with him?

I don't think the party themselves will drop him, not sure you can after the number of votes he's pulled in, but I can see a lot of people who were on the fence and voted Republican being really turned off by this. Undermining Democracy and the Constitution is pretty nuclear stuff for a lot of Americans. His die hard supporters won't care, but there's a lot of Republican voters who could see this is a step too far. His camp are pretty much threatening civil war...

Once trump loses his mandate Fox will dump him. They will go into save the Republican Party mode, not save trump mode.

Its not the time but there are plenty of documentaries out there which show that murdoch was forced to support trump and has never liked him. They supported him in this election because there was a chance the republicans would be out of power if they didn’t.

Now they don’t have to support TRUMP, they will go into protect the party mode!

100% agree, and it'll hopefully be the same with McConnell. He may be an evil c**t, but he's an extremely effective evil c**t.

Still find it mad that the frontman of The Airborne Toxic Event (who I like) is such a respected political commentator on Twitter!

They’ll dump him. He’s a useful idiot to them but once not president anymore they’ll all be distancing themselves like rats off a sinking ship. There’s no way he’ll be in any shape to run in 2024 and I doubt they have any interest in furthering his idiot family to power - there’s no way they’d get the votes.

Fox 'Battle for the Ballots':

"There are democrat strongholds all over the country that have been stealing elections for years."

Yeah, okay, it's quite an unpleasant watch.

On the plus side someone earlier was bemoaning the lack of american ads on the CNN livestream. Yep, you get them with Fox :-)

"Men, do you find yourself urinating at night..."

"History shows that when a nation turns to god problems are solved...police and judges have nothing to do because there is no crime...look to the one who made you and findingtruepeace.com."

The Republicans have already been distancing themselves even before the election so a 78 year old Trump who lost the last election isn't going to be backed by them. He hasn't got a real chance as an independent nor would he have the money to roll a campaign either.

The leaders in the House and Senate for the Republicans have been very quiet over the last few days....

Fox:

"The president could come back in Georgia, it's not over...I have breaking news, over to a news alert in Georgia...Biden has increased his lead to 1096, but Trump has declared that this is not a legitimate vote...well there's a lot to react to...Georgia doesn't vote for democrats..."

Jesus, I'm not sure I can take much more, I'm actually craving numbers, facts, a magic wall and people who can string a coherent argument together...

[jparx]

Might seem a minor point, but I really hope Fox News are the first ones to call this. It could make a huge difference to how it's perceived by the Republican voters. 

[steviewevie]

It is pretty mad that Georgia could turn blue.

It's been coming for a while now, looking at voting trends going back a few years. Demographic changes have caused the vote to lean left.

Current Fox section headline:

States being Sued

"Trump can still win but we'd be better off having drones overhead to monitor the count..."

Yeah, so coming back to CNN now.

I like* how every time CNN come back from one of their frequent ad breaks, they have some exciting breaking news, and yet nothing has actually changed.

 

*don't like

What's going on in Arizona?

On the whole issue of Republican reaction to Trump losing, I thought it was really significant that Pence was nowhere to be seen at the last press conference. Already distancing himself a bit? It's got to pretty embarrassing for him. Not that I care if it hurts him as he is a total c**t.
