One Day To Go: Trump Closes With A Dark Message | Talking Points Memo

Election Day is nearly upon us. Everyone is on edge as we await the results. But President Trump is continuing his efforts to interfere with the legitimacy of the process, insisting that America must know the winner by the end of the night on Tuesday. States always take days to count every ballot. There’s nothing unusual about that.

We need a president who actually listens to experts like Dr. Fauci.

— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) November 2, 2020

We need a president that doesn’t listen to the demons in his head.

I was in the car coming back from (radiation- one more day!), and a Trump ad came on. It featured people who were giving reasons for supporting him, like he’s a businessman and he’ll know how to handle the economy. At the end Trump said, “I’m Donald J Trump, candidate for President, and I approve this message.”

I laughed. I’m pretty sure they’re recycling ads from the 2016 campaign. Hahahahaha!

My husband asked why they didn’t make new ones. No money and nothing to brag about that most of us can support.

LOSER.

Trump Closes With A Dark Message

That’s so unusual for him.

I was expecting a new Sermon on the Mount.

A bracketed post of mine from another thread:

Let’s Wrap This Up…get out and vote and end this nightmare. All it takes is for everyone, who possibly can, vote today, :“Leave it all on the Field” and make Trump an irrelevant Lame Duck First Term POTUS. He has few options, as such, without there being serious repercussions against him

[When Trump loses, people will be surprised at the difference in his behavior.

Biden’s Team will descend on the WH and Government in General. A new President doesn’t just swear the oath and start to work. There is background activity and no POTUS has left a bigger mess than Trump.

In addition, the types and numbers of competent people replacing sycophants and babysitters will be mind-blowing.

By necessity, there will be actual News for the American Public to receive and absorb and whatever the Orange Menace will try to do will, by necessity, reveal even more of his infantile and near-psychotic character and its contrast between an adult POTUS and Trump.

In full view of the American People.]

Fear. That’s all Trump has.

Faith in our country? Not so much.

This man trades in it…and judging by some of our posts, I can understand why.

You don’t save a Republic by annoncing defeat before even voting.

We are fairly intellectual on this site. We can willy nilly announce “We’re Doomed. Trump’s Lawyers will get us and if that doesn’t happen, then the Barrett SCOTUS will”.

We can do that and then, quite naturally, go out to vote and pull the lever for Joe. But not every person is a sage, guru, intellect or whatever we wish to call ourselves. Some people need to believe that their vote WILL count.

And Doom and Gloom ain’t gonna do it the Day Before The Vote.

There’s something in his head? Other than fear driven narcissism?

It seems Narcissus died of thirst and starvation, but ended up as a flower, the kind which includes daffodils.

Let’s think of a flower that Trump can come back as. And be nice!

Is the ‘non scaleable wall’ around the WH to keep the protestors out or orange man in (and not run away)?

Nice? You’re kidding. There is only one candidate, the corpse flower:

“Trump Closes With Dark Message”

Trump isn’t closing. He’s abandoning any pretext of honoring the states’ authority to manage their elections. This won’t be over for weeks.

This is America. Why are we inflicted with a thug as President and a national party that believes voter suppression and intimidation are OK?
