A sitting president up for re-election in his final debate spent more time peddling conspiracy...

theories than talking about past accomplishments and plans for a second term. That's the surest sign of a losing candidate and a failed presidency.

His last, and only chance, is to cheat at the ballot box and hope the courts will intervene.

"His last, and only chance, is to cheat at the ballot box and hope the courts will intervene."

And if this happens, we are all fucked. Goodbye, the great American political experiment. It will be a war.

Trump would have not debated if he had some grand, hidden plan to steal the election.

He wouldn't be desperately trying to cobble together conspiracy theories that fall apart overnight. Trump is a lot like the schoolkid who waits until the last possible minute to do the project he's had six months to get done, on topics he's not paid attention to in class. Everyone keeps fearing that he's going to pull a miracle out of his butt at the last minute, but given the ineptness he's shown thus far, there is no evil plan ... only incompetence.
