putin wins either way...
I have read a number of articles regarding the 2020 election about how the orange asshole won't give up office if he loses.
but that's just a side show.
look at the larger picture.
if the orange asshole wins (help us all), putin still has his useful puppet to control and further destroy our Democracy
if the orange asshole loses, putin still wins. Why? Because as I stated above, the orange asshole will create a terrifying situation where he won't leave willingly. he will create turmoil by whipping his crazy ass followers into a froth.
if he gets blowout: he will claim it's a fake election with millions of fake voters
if he loses by a few percentage points: he will do the same
and if it's razor thin...I think you know the answer.
but more over, regardless of how much or how little he loses, the ultra right wing repuke cadre of morons senators and reps will line up and do every thing within their power to stall, delay and out right obstruct the transition of power to the point that it will make the 2000 look like a Broadway musical.
and at the end of the day, we the people suffer, our nation suffers and Democracy loses.
in the end, now matter what happens, we are all fucked and putin still wins.
