How did Biden pull it off?
By Silvio Canto, Jr.

The election was two months ago, and I'm still waiting to hear about a Democrat who beat a GOP candidate in a competitive election.  On the contrary, none of the Democrats who won in 2020 have a reason to send Joe Biden "a thank you" card.

There are many reasons to be skeptical about this election, but the lack of "coattails" tops my list.  This is from Victoria Taft:

    Stories about President Trump's weak coattails were legion before the election. His likability was questioned and still is, but, what ho! Look what actually happened.

    After the usual midterm 2018 thrashing for the president in power (George W. Bush and FDR are the only presidents who added seats during the midterms), Republicans made up some of those losses in congressional races and statehouses across the country in 2020.

    Ballotpedia reports that while Democrats won 222 seats to Republicans' 212, the GOP unexpectedly flipped 14 seats from D to R compared to three seats for the D's.

    Among the claw-backs were four California seats lost in the 2018 election to the new "ballot harvesting" measures Democrats put into effect. Trump didn't come to California to hold rallies but did he did come to fundraise.

    The candidates won on the backs of law and order (sound familiar?) and opening up the economy. They were Trump messages without the man. And Republican Michelle Steel is already working on getting Governor Gavin Newsom to change his disastrous tax and law and order policies that have made California so unpopular that people are fleeing in droves and the state could lose a congressional seat.

    Republicans expanded their "trifecta" of governor's mansions and state houses by two and possibly three, according to Ballotpedia. Alaska is still tallying the votes, believe it or not.

    The media are loathe to give Trump any credit, but Trump received ten million more votes than he did in 2016 — the most of any Republican president ever. He energized the voter base and flipped back a bunch of seats in both state houses and Congress.

    What's the definition of coattails again?

Some knucklehead will be along soon to explain how the GOPe won big this election (voters LOVE the moderate GOP) its just they found Trump so personally obnoxious that all but 74 million voted for an addled pedo-plagiarist and his philandering marxist 80 IQ running mate instead.

Like I said a few months ago, I combed through about 150 years of presidential election history, and there has never been a case of reversed coattails as was in evidence in this election. It defies plausibility. 

I am still, and always will be near 100% certain that something fishy went on election night.

Yes! But that does not matter! They have now found their formula for controlling the masses and we will NEVER be free of it again in this life. We will always be under some sort of manufactured crisis requiring government interventions in order to "protect" us from its ravages.

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.”

Not even HL Mencken imagined where we'd be today.

  Absolutely correct @skeeter and WE continue to allow it without restriction of any kind.

Fishy? What went on is more akin to this.

You rang?

Biden didn't pull it off. He'd be lucky to pull off one of his socks.

The people who pulled this off, the kingmakers of the Democrat corruption machine have an even higher figure they answer to, and not just one. Some time, hopefully before the "Billionaire Elite" finishes enslaving the planet with their proxies and minions, the whole human race had better wake up.

I'm sure all of the good people here convinced fraud occurred are still feeling the effects of the cosmic rays transmitted from Trump's orange make-up through tv screens.
When, hopefully, his gigantic WH megaphone is taken away from him, the cosmic rays will have worn off, and you people will realize you've been deceived by the biggest conman in the history of the U.S.
Trump lost fairly, squarely, and bigly.

So much hate from such a little girl.

Well, that's a well-crafted rebuttal.    Got any legitimate counter arguments or just typical name-calling when you don't have any?

Agree and now I'm beginning to really question if 9-11 wasn't one of those manufactured crisis. Lot's of rumors out there; perhaps they weren't rumors at all.

Bless your heart @goatprairie  You're trying to engage me in a debate.  As though you're able .....

I'll admit it. I've got no well crafted rebuttal to your Orange Man cosmic ray theory.

[Wingnut]

He won because of the Veep.

If you've got any proof that massive fraud occurred in the election, please try to present that proof. And then contact Team Trump. Tell them all about that fraud you're certain exists. I'm sure they'll be interested, because so far they haven't alleged fraud in one, single case they've presented in state and federal courts over sixty times. Strange that, huh? It's almost like there was no fraud for them to present to  courts.
And I don't engage in urination/name-calling contests with people on social forums. If you want to have a respectful argument, that's fine.

Pretty persuasive, wasn't it? 

[Bigun]

Pretty persuasive, wasn't it? 

  Indeed it was! It conclusively persuaded me that you are happy to see the end of the greatest experiment in human freedom this world has ever known and that I should avoid you like the plague!

[yodaspock]

There is more than enough evidence to prove Trump Won the election, but it takes an IQ higher than 25 and some guts to take a look at it!

I have been coughing and sneezing  a lot lately   ...wait.... what's that feeling in my throat?....gaggggggggggggggg...(choking) .arggggghhhhh....IT'S THE PLAGUE!!!! I"M DOOMED!!!! Somebody get me an aspirin. (wife gets me a glass of water) (glug, glug, glug)...ahhhhh....yes, I feel much better.
Now what were you saying?

Oh there's circumstantial evidence up the ying yang there was substantial voter fraud, only the dead enders deny that now.

But without being able to produce the ballots with the envelopes they came in - they've been shredded, the adjudication methodology of the Dominion machines - it's been removed and tossed in the bay, etc etc - hard evidence - attorneys have to be very careful what they allege in court to prevent sanction. They cannot allege fraud even though we all know thats exactly what took place.

But 'not even Trump's lawyers are claiming fraud' is a slick evasion I'll grant you that.

So you can rejoice - there's almost no doubt Biden now will be made president. They pulled it off. But it doesn't mean Biden won.
