    Scaramucci also tweeted, “When polls drop (and they will), Trump is going to go full on racist.”

    Trump has always been a racist. We’ve always known it. I guess he can always escalate, but don’t pretend this is a new thing. Racism is at the core of his identity.

        He still insists that they had criminal records when they did not and he knows that because at President he could background check anyone he feels like at a level no one else in this country could.

      They’re not calling it a new thing. They’re saying he’s going to be more overt about it.

      Keep in mind, there’s still a non-zero chance the guy just straight up says the N word in public before this whole thing is through. As blindingly obvious as Trump’s racism is, it can still get even more obvious.

    How bout we just go vote him out. That’s the important part right now. We don’t need hyperbole, we just go vote in November

      Might not be enough. Apparently they have better plans in place to manipulate the voting proces into (incorrectly) declaring Trump and others the winner, even if the votes say something else.

        That’s not going to work. This isn’t Venezuela. If official results differ from exit polls, Democrats would not accept it.

        Trump fans are just loud. They’re not going to do anything.

          This is naive thinking. They tried to overturn the result in 2020 and they’ve had four years to hone their strategy. Moderates who defended the election process last round have been pushed out of office. States with GOP legislatures in particular could refuse to certify totals and instead send electors of their own choosing.

          It’s not as simple as who gets more votes. The process requires that officials at multiple levels of government work in good faith, and there are a lot of bad faith actors taking office. Look at who won the Maricopa County primaries yesterday. That’s the modern GOP.

          • I tend to think that once the media calls each state on election night, it becomes very difficult to move forward with contested results UNLESS it comes down to a single state again. If it’s a toss up, they’ll flex but if it takes flipping multiple states I think the Supreme Clowns will probably take the L.

          Get your head out of the sand, they have a pathway to do this. Delay certification in the house, force it to be a congressional vote where each state gets a vote and more states have a Republican controlled delegation.

          The pathway is there. We have to make the results so resounding that someone in the machine chickens out.

            There is no way to do that. People in the US don’t just roll over when their votes aren’t counted.

            2000 was different because voters in Florida were too stupid to figure out their ballots.

      Wow! Brilliant! How has nobody thought of that before? Quick, call up the DNC and let them know that you solved the election!

    Although the vice president trails Trump by 5 percent in a national Rasmussen poll,

    Oh wow, then Harris must be at least 10% ahead! That’s actually stellar news. 😀

      Yeah Rasmussen is shit, but unfortunately every poll always seems to be D is up 5 points! Reality: D was down 15. :(

      Because rawstory - like all ad-supported media - wants money. It’s a horse race bonanza.

      Polls released in late July or early August have offered some . . .

      It was published August 1. What “early August” poll are they referencing? Apparently one that happened within 12 hours of the story?

        Yeah. The literal second a poll is released it’s getting analyzed. Then it’s weird to read about later the same day because the stories have to be written to make sense a year from now.

    Let your freak flag fly, Big T. We love seeing you flail and get weirder and meltdown. The more that everyone sees your unhinged bullshit, the worse it looks for ya in November.
