That is not true. In the past there have been rational lawsuits brought up. Trump brought up deranged ones. Often his own lawyers would not provide the supposed evidence they had because it was so bad that it would threaten their careers. Trump was 60 and 0 That tells you that he did not have any valid lawsuits.
The others lost too. Apparently they weren’t “valid” either.

This is an oft repeated refrain, but is nonsense. He made legal challenges (as any party would do and he lost badly), and when Inauguration Day came, he left office. Yes, there was the issue at the Capital, but it’s not as if it Trump designed that event to keep himself in office. He didn’t order the military to keep him in. It was a lot of bluster. It will be a lot of bluster again if he loses, but to what end? He has no choice but to accept the outcome.

You are delusional if you believe Trump - a man who told thousands of this followers to march on the Capitol building on the day and at the very time that the vote against him was to be ratified while telling them that election was rigged, while writing up a slate of fake electors to be substituted for the real electors - was not making a deliberate effort to hold on to power.

Delusional.

By the way, the next time Nigel Fuhrage visits the US, could you please keep him there? He's like the Farting Trumpet's mini-me, very annoying.

Maybe we can work out a trade. Oh wait, if Trump loses he is going to prison for a very long time. Sorry, I guess a trade is out of the question.

They are the ones that attempted to keep Trump off the ballot,
He is ineligible to be President. The Supreme Court ruling didn't suggest anything different; it just ruled that the body that gets to declare his ineligibility is Congress.

... so thrme next time it's likely to come to a head is when the Electoral College votes get counted.

He wasn't the architect of the plan, but every indication is that he was aware of it and approved it.

He didn’t order the military to keep him in.

What scenario for "ordering.the military to keep him in" do you think:

- was actually available to Trump, and
- had - or appeared to Trump to have - a reasonable chance of actually keeping him in power?

It was a lot of bluster. It will be a lot of bluster again if he loses, but to what end? He has no choice but to accept the outcome.
It was a coup attempt. Like a lot of things involving Trump, it was poorly planned and executed, but it was a coup attempt.

If the mob had actually succeeded in their aims, Pence would have been killed and Trump would have appointed someone willing to go along with the fake voter scheme in his place.

Trump was instrumental in this plan. The fact that the plan failed before it got to the part that only Trump could have done doesn't change that.

It's not going to come up. Trump is going to win. If there is one thing that Republicans know how to do it's cross the finish line. And I say that as someone who was rooting for a Harris presidency.

As he did in 2020?
Nah, Republicans have been experimenting with methods to lose.

The only question is whether
they'll fail at their goal of losing.

Trump consistently outperforms polls by about 2%. That is going to be the margin of victory.

I've already laid in a supply of spray on tan that I plan to resell to you Yanks at an incredible mark up.

Two points make a line, not a pattern.
MAGA supporters hang up on pollsters, because "F%^&$ the gub'mint!" It used to be they didn't bother voting either, because "F%^&$ the gub'mint!" Now they vote, and the polling models are having trouble adjusting. Trust me, Trump has a lead.

Everyone hangs up on pollsters except the elderly white people who are mostly favouring Trump.

It's just that those elderly voters generally have a higher conversion rate from "intend to vote" to "actually vote" than other demographics.

Personally, I think the big factor in critical swing states will be the party that currently controls the state legislature and governorship (and therefore has control over the state's election apparatus): my bet is that in places where Republicans can make it more difficult for Democrats to vote, we'll see Democrats underperform their polling, while in states where Republicans can't do this, the polling will be pretty close to the result at the ballot box.
