Trump plans to declare victory if he takes Election Night lead: Axios
By Zack Budryk - 11/01/20 03:24 PM EST



President Trump has told those in his orbit he intends to prematurely declare victory on Election Night if early returns are favorable to him despite uncounted ballots that could lead to a loss, Axios reported Sunday.

The president has discussed the plan in detail with confidants, the publication reported.

On Tuesday night, the early count in the pivotal state of Pennsylvania is expected to favor the president due to state laws against counting mail-in ballots before Election Day. However, the ongoing count is expected to narrow the margin between Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden, who leads in most polling of the state.


Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar (D) said the state expects the full count to take days due to the high volume of mail-in ballots this year, ten times more than those cast in 2016.

"told those in his orbit"

Oh yea! Sure! I definitely believe this bullshit! With 'sources' like that, who can argue?
Kind of different from 'unnamed sources' or 'high level officials'. LOL
Good Grief. These guys are so obvious.

Because it's completely plausible that late ballots break for the rats by overwhelming margins in 100% of cases.

Every time in American history that 'late votes' or so called 'found votes' are accepted and counted as real votes the Democrat wins.
There has never been a case where the Republican won because of 'found votes'. Found and late votes are always Democrat votes.
Funny how it always works out that way?  :facepalm2:

Its obvious to everyone. All rats want is a result that shows them ahead, by hook or crook, and they do not care how bad it looks.

I haven't heard him say that, so I take that with a grain of salt.

Now, if Trump far exceeds 270, I'd say he can take and claim an early victory dance.

This is why Biden rallies tend to get more Trump supporters than Biden supporters.
Half a dozen Trump supporters would 'mob' and overrun a Biden so called rally.
Nobody cares about Biden except Communists, Muslims, and Special Interests.

That's what I've been wondering. If there is a wide enough electoral win on Tuesday night...why would the state's that have decided to allow extra time for mail in ballots even matter? (unless, their electoral votes might make a difference, I guess). I guess I need to look up North Carolina and see how many they have just out of curiosity.

In any event, I hope there is a landslide of electoral votes. I love watching the media go into melt down mode...and I sure don't look forward to months of hanging and pregnant chads.

Again, this is what is so troubling; obviously his "campaign" knows that his turn out is very dismal, yet the DNC and his campaign staff have done nothing to jump on the bandwagon and start campaigning on his behalf.  Bammy was out for him the other day, but other than that, no one. Why?  IMHO they've already calculated how they are going to ensure a Biden victory by stealing votes or by some  other means, such as blaming Russian interference, etc. and declaring the election invalid or they've got so many riots planned that the country will be in complete turmoil. Something is up otherwise we'd  be seeing a greater turnout for Biden especially since they keep proclaiming that he's ahead in the polls.

I think it is a very bad thing for Trump to claim victory and start celebrating before he is legally declared the winner.  I feel sure riots and burnings and assaults will start if he does that.  I hope he does not do that.

Riots and burnings and assaults are indeed very bad things. We should be careful not to blame Trump for them.

If the math says he won, then he should say so and not be intimidated by the threats of anarchists.

I have not heard Trump make claim to this, so I'm taking it lightly. If he wins by a landslide, I think it would be difficult for him not to do a victory speech.  I am anticipating unrest regardless.  The left will continue to riot even if Biden wins.  Just my opinion.

That is the 'intimidation factor' they are using to try to influence the election and the POTUS.

I'm expecting voter intimidation at the inner city precincts which I feel is why there has been such a push for mail-in voting.

I still feel Trump could have and should have nipped this crappola in the bud when he had the chance.

I can't figure it out,either. The Dims have been acting like it was a done-deal ever since he announced he was running.

Face it,if it's obvious to all of US,and it is, that he is a senile old fool,it HAS to be twice as obvious to the people who are around him every day.

It flat makes no sense at all that they would even let him run,never mind back him.

They obviously have some sort of plan in place that was in place even BEFORE the election,or this wouldn't have been so carefully planned-out.

I just can't for the life of me begin to figure out what it is,unless the plan is to have him whacked a day before the election,and have a Trump supporter arrested on the spot for the assassination.

IF that was the plan,they should have had it done while there was still time to name Harris the candidate,name her VP and at least pretend to campaign for a week or two.

Not even sure how that would work,since the logical thing to do in a case like that would be to suspend the election for the time being and set a new date,and I don't think that is even legal to do.

What I do know for sure is there are a hell of a lot of senior Dims WAAAAY too cocky about the election and the country ending up under their control,and no logical explanation for it.

If it seems clear he won I wouldn't blame Trump in the least if he declared himself the winner. Why allow the rats an opportunity to make a hash of the election as they clearly are planning to do?

And what candidate has ever done that in the past? The list is short due to too close to call. The legal declaration of winner comes weeks after an election.

Why the different standard this time?

I think you know the answer to that.  It's an Alinsky tactic:  Define your opponent's rules narrowly, then demand they live up to the redefined rules.  That's what we're seeing here...by redefining a "win" to require legal sanction. 

That's a new rule, never before observed, created because Trump.

Biden is going to win millions more votes than Trump. Millions.

No one doubts that, not even Trump.

The only reason there’s suspense is the thing that doesn’t exist in any other democracy—Electoral College.

And what candidate has ever done that in the past? The list is short due to too close to call. The legal declaration of winner comes weeks after an election.
Why the different standard this time?
@DB

Because there is Black Lives Matter and Antifi (sp) ready to burn buildings and hurt people.  I did not say to wait until the electors vote to say Trump is the winner.  I mean when the states have completed the count of their votes and reported their totals.  Then, he could say he has won. Don't claim victory if he is ahead election day but all votes are not counted.  If he claims victory without all votes counted, the bad guys are going to burn buildings and hurt/kill police and others.

I can't figure it out,either. The Dims have been acting like it was a done-deal ever since he announced he was running.

Face it,if it's obvious to all of US,and it is, that he is a senile old fool,it HAS to be twice as obvious to the people who are around him every day.

It flat makes no sense at all that they would even let him run,never mind back him.

They obviously have some sort of plan in place that was in place even BEFORE the election,or this wouldn't have been so carefully planned-out.

I just can't for the life of me begin to figure out what it is,unless the plan is to have him whacked a day before the election,and have a Trump supporter arrested on the spot for the assassination.

IF that was the plan,they should have had it done while there was still time to name Harris the candidate,name her VP and at least pretend to campaign for a week or two.

Not even sure how that would work,since the logical thing to do in a case like that would be to suspend the election for the time being and set a new date,and I don't think that is even legal to do.

What I do know for sure is there are a hell of a lot of senior Dims WAAAAY too cocky about the election and the country ending up under their control,and no logical explanation for it.

The Dems are more enthused about Harris as she would be the first female, black (sort of) presidente, if JB drops.  And AOC and company would have a field day either way with an aged JB and enthused and rather odd Harris in charge.  President Trump needs to win AND keep the Republican senate majority.

I watched Dixville Notch which started at 12:01 am Eastern time, last night.
Biden got all the votes - 5.
Then got numbers from Millsfield - 21 voted, 16 Trump, 5 Biden.  So, numbers combined,  Trump was ahead by 6.

It is a worrisome thing that cities are having to board up during election day. When I heard that Dallas was boarding up and Abbott had activated the NG it made me mad. This should not be an issue anywhere in this country.

Then I said to myself...berdie, we used to have to board up during Texas/OU weekend so calm down.

If the cities with government officials that don't want to control this are in danger, I hate it for them. But only the citizens of those cities/states can fix it.

Mine is mostly beef or bison tallow. The trick is to be pretty stingy with the grease... just enough to get it stuck together and no more. Too many folks try to stretch it with the grease, which sucks.... nobody wants to chew on a brick of tallow very much.

Hard tack is kinda a staple here... Many years in the trail and camp have left me more likely to use hard tack than crackers. Just made about 4 lbs a little while ago. The trick with hard tack is to use a round fluted cutter, and make fairly big holes in em... The fluted edge makes em way easier to bust.

Good to know.  I will remember that.  I only made it once.  I agree. Less grease the better.

I do have a fluted cutter. I made them square. I will try fluted.  I have most everything. lol  Old world raised.  I need to make bigger holes, I think.  Do you dunk them in coffee? Or just break up to chew on?  I read you could add cinnamon, for a little flavor, after you bust them up.  I guess a little sugar?  or not.  They make good doorstops! 

I have poppy seed grinder and a hard wheat grinder.  All Manual.  I figured if I had to grind my own flour, I would not have electricity!

Good to know.  I will remember that.  I only made it once.  I agree. Less grease the better.

I do have a fluted cutter. I made them square. I will try fluted.  I have most everything. lol  Old world raised.  I need to make bigger holes, I think.  Do you dunk them in coffee?

I use a chop stick to make the holes... sometimes have to flip them and run the holes in from both ways... big holes help it dry out in the baking, and also make em easier to bust (which you might note is a trend in my comment).

Yes, I have had hard tack and coffee for breakfast... tea works too.  mostly I bust em and float em in stew or soup... leave em in long enough they almost turn into a dumpling. And they are all I have for thickeing on the trail, so they work much like a flour roux... make a soup a stew if you can dissolve them alright (goes back to getting em to bust). Pemmican and hardtack in a cup of water will turn into an alright little bit of stew, less chunks or spice - kinda a bisque...

I wish there was a cat in the WH.

Socks was a cool cat. Millie Bush was a cool dog.

And Sully Bush, though he never was in the WH broke my heart when he lay down by  his dad’s casket.

As the votes get counted I wonder how the rest of this will now play out. Nail biting

Am so disenchanted about what's going on that I can't even find a single Pookie Toon that's the least bit funny this morning.

And there's no interest in turning on the television this morning for local news and weather.

There should be Open Season declared on the corporate media people who sit at the Boardroom tables.  They should know personal fear for their lives and those of their loved ones.  They wanna play?  Let's 'Play'.

Would love to see Jason Stratham, Sylvester Stallone and Mark Wahlberg star in "KILLER ELITE 2", where these mainstream media MFers are dispatched with extreme prejudice.

I'm going back to bed.

Yes. I do that too.  I use real lean London broil. Remove all fat.  What meat do you use?

The same, London Broil.  Lean, lean, lean!

Take heart people.  If St. Joseph of Delaware and St. Kamala of California wind up winning there will be no more Covid or cancer. Hurricanes, forest fires, floods and tornadoes will cease to be.  There will be no climate change and it will always be sunny in Philadelphia.  There will be a chicken in every pot and a pot plant for all.  MS 13 will be gone. There will be peace between the Crips and the Bloods and unicorns will fart candy!

I woke up with a hangover (not from drinkin') and turned on the Weather Channel; a break from the news outlets and mayhem.  Can this be over soon??!!   9999hair out0000
