The US Election 2020 After Hours

[Tom]

The Republican Party can end this. When are they going to?

Absolutely this. Someone needs to get a grip of this and quickly

 

[Tom]

So in summary, the states he won are all above board but the ones he lost, or is projected to lose, are riddled with corruption.

Yep.

Steve Bannon suggesting Fauci's head should be put on a pike in one corner of The White House and Wray's (FBI Director) on another pike to serve as a warning to Federal Democrats of what will happen if they stand out of line

Marginalized and cowered into silence. As the night has progressed more and more have jumped on the Trump "fraud" narrative bandwagon. I was hopeful first they'd distance themselves from him and concede the game was up but nope many are doubling down.

In my 34 years studying and teaching American Politics and History I've never seen, heard or expected anything like this.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, a close ally of Donald Trump, has pledged to donate $500,000 (£380,000) to help fund the Trump campaign's lawsuits.

"The allegations of wrongdoing are Earth-shattering," Graham, who was re-elected in South Carolina, told Sean Hannity in an interview with Fox News, without providing any details.

Still trying to process that Trump speech last night

Joe Biden has taken the lead in Georgia.

CNN pointing out that the vote fraud is demonstrably a fallacy - Georgia is AN ENTIRELY REPUBLICAN STATE

How are people shocked/surprised by what Trump said last night? He was saying the exact same thing about the 2016 results, he said Clinton didn't win the popular vote, that they were all fake votes.

The danger is what he does when the inevitable happens.

True. He's been trying to undermine the voting systems since the start. There was no reason to believe that he'd stop now. Especially when he's losing. It was the "strategy" he had in place before the 2016 election when he thought he was going to lose. And of course the popular vote loss really rankled with him.

 

[Cherub]

This is playing out like the House of Cards finale we never got!

I mean I think I knew Trump was dangerous, but wow I mean now I really see it. Someone's going to die at some point over this election result. Takes one Trump supporter with a gun and.....

It's just horrific really. Just refusing to accept an election result. Dictator-like. Simple as.
