So no one is on record. What do we call a claim that is not falsifiable? There is literally zero ability to defend yourself from anonymous sources - the idea that 60 days out from an election anyone should believe something like that is patently absurd.Quote:

So what unsubstantiated claims should we believe 60 days prior to an election?
Why do I get the feeling you think it would be better for reporters to lie and Trump lose than if they told the truth and Trump won?
It's called projection Lewk.Quote:

Of course they will try to do exactly that; it's their one chance to hold on to power and no amount of dirty play will be too much to do just that.Quote:

Maybe 2 years old, but Amen nonetheless.

Not going to change anything. Trump has this in the bag. Democrats would rather whine about the rules being against them than come up with a cohesive strategy to attract the stupid people to join the Dem base.Quote:

It's weird how you keep saying these things as if you believe you're being clever or funny. It just makes you look kinda dumb—not to mention prematurely boomerified.Quote:

The bad thing is there's nothing in the US Constitution to prevent them doing that.Quote:

'Steal' is not the correct word here. The Republican Party is absolutely going to try and win this election, by the rules. I don't want them to but I'm not going to whine about the rules being in their favor either.Quote:

Yeah, all those famous checks and balances that make American democracy so great aren't functioning so well are they?
Wow, The Atlantic article was scary and depressing https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine...oncede/616424/
It's pretty clear that Trump and Republicans are exploiting gaps in the process, every step along the way. Not because they believe in representative democracy, but want to hold onto power. The possibility of GOP-held state legislatures appointing "Trump loyal electorates" -- apparently a legal way to manipulate the electoral college vote -- was an eye-opener. As was the scenario of VP Pence casting the senate tie-breaking vote, essentially electing himself and Trump by proxy. :eek:
