His cult members shouldn't even bother showing up to vote then.
this is like the outcome when you play chess against a pigeon. Sure you win, but the pigeon still shits on the board like a winner.

When listening to pundits on cable opinion shows, you hear a lot of confusion as to why the orange turd is saying these incendiary things daily instead of appealing to moderate voters in various demographics. "Why is his campaign doing this?!?!?"
Well, he's not appealing to swing voters because he preemptively needs his base hyped up and ready to burn the whole house down. In his mind it doesn't matter who votes for what. He just needs it close. Let Roger Stone and chaos take care of the rest.
I'm voting today. Make sure you do so in the next week.
I voted a week ago. Apparently that was a smart move, because my friends who voted this week have been saying the lines are looooooooooong. Which is a good problem to have, IMHO. Love that people are voting early.
Make sure you do so in the next week.
No! Tuesday! 4 days away. You don't have a week. You've barely got half of a week. And half of those days are the weekend.
My SO and I voted today! First time doing it in person since I don't trust drop boxes and mail-ins given the MAGA shenanigans.
trump will claim he got 500 billion votes and kamala got negative one gajillion bajillion, and that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who's been conscious at any point over the last 10 years
He's been working with Putin on those amounts.
He got as many votes as Google owes Russia in dollars!
We've known this for a long time... Almost 4 years actually
Conservatives: "I don't even know why we're having the election, liberals just like to waste money I guess."
Ready to kick this Orange turd out of this country.
Torn between jail and gitmo.
Of course he will.
He's a narcissist, nothing is important except that he's the best one, the winner, ...
He doesn't care, he just want to "win".
Is there some way we can convince him he was crowned emperor like Emperor Norton?
However, he was financially ruined following a failed bid in December 1852 to corner the rice market during a shortage prompted by a famine in China. He bought a shipload of Peruvian rice at 12 cents per pound (26 ¢/kg), but more Peruvian ships arrived in port, causing the price to drop sharply to three cents per pound (6.6 ¢/kg). He then lost a protracted lawsuit in which he tried to void his rice contract, and his local prominence faded.
Sounds like trump all right.
I bet a handful of comedians plus some fake newswriters could make him disappear from the news & election cycle quite effectively.
Sort of like the movie Wag the Dog, except they only have to fool one person.
Norton initially made a successful living as a commodities trader and real estate speculator. However, he was financially ruined following a failed bid in December 1852 to corner the rice market
Jesus...
"This just in trump declares victory one day before the election"
It should be an onion article but sadly he'll do that
He already started, saying PA is cheating... It isn't even election day and the fuckery has already began, I am terrified of the outcome if he "wins".
The anti-christ and the false prophet are here today.
that fox News video "win every swing state" is from July
I'm quite surprised he hasn't already.
