He's going to be annihilated in November

[PCIntern]

at the polls.

He’s gonna get trounced and the members of SCOTUS know it. Everybody who isn’t fooled by the bullshit polls knows it.

Four years ago Biden ran a quiet campaign from a basement and beat him by 7 million votes. This was before in-dick-ments (sic) and the sexual assault (I.e. rape) conviction, and before the overturn of R v W, and before the insurrection (I.e. normal tourist day).


This time there’s gonna be a blistering, withering campaign by Biden and it’s gonna make the LBJ Daisy ad look like a joke. The video alone is gonna toast Trump’s nuts on Biscayne Boulevard and remembrance of things past like injecting bleach and UV light will re-demonstrate what a buffoon he is. And how dangerous he is to the populace. He’s a fucking political Typhoid Mary to down-ballot Republicans, or what passes for Republicans these days. Watch his medical condition as well: he’s driving off a cliff faster than Thelma and Louise.

[we can do it]

1. I think you are exactly right.

[forgotmylogin]

85. Fingers crossed. I so look forward to...

The moment Biden wins and PO1135809 realizes his legal issues aren’t going to disappear magically as he expects and he gets to look forward to trials basically for the rest of his life that can go as slow as they want cuz he ain’t going nowhere unless he defects to Russia.

[TwilightZone]

2. "ran a quiet campaign from a basement"

That's not even remotely true.

[ClimateHawk]

3. I think he was being sarcastic

[TwilightZone]

6. Underselling the challenge of this election is not a good campaign strategy.

Sarcastically or otherwise.

[PCIntern]

18. Yeah you're right...

Because all these people on DU aren’t going to vote, right?

And as campaigns go, the campaign of 2020 was relatively low-key in terms of traveling due to Covid, so we didn’t have mass rallies like the old days.

No one here is complacent, but last I looked I was allowed to voice an opinion among my friends.

[Kaleva]

22. That's what Freezers claimed he did

That Biden his in his basement while tfg supposedly campaigned in front of large crowds.

[Deep State Witch]

71. Just spreading the love... and the COVID

Yeah... his brownshirt rallies were just spreading the love... and the COVID.

[Kaleva]

72. It was reported that many of his fans got COVID

after attending one of his rallies.

[ShazzieB]

73. True.

Herman Cain did, and it killed him. And I'm sure he wasn't the only one!

[louis-t]

96. You mean, "Record crowds. Like no one has ever seen."

[Kaleva]

98. Nobody in history has drawn bigger crowds!

[LiberalFighter]

100. Correction: Nobody in history has drawn bigger crowds of idiots.

[Tarc]

81. Biden didn't want to murder his followers with super-spreader events

like Trump gleefully did (r.i.p. Herman Cain) is what I believe the point was. Joe's public appearances and traditional campaign rallies were scaled-back and subdued and rightly so.

[Smackdown2019]

84. Lmao, seems correct.

We were all in our basements in 2020.....

[niyad]

88. You do remember a little thing in 2020 called covid, yes? pre-vaccine?

Tens of thousands dying?

[Ohio Joe]

4. Plus, he'll be convicted for some felonies by then

He will be appealing them but the convictions will be there.

[angrychair]

14. That seems incredibly unlikely

His tactics here could not be more clear, it is not to win or even get it dismissed but to delay it for as long as possible.
I use Texas AG Ken Paxton as an example. Paxton has no where near the money or political power of Trump but has managed to drag out court cases against him for fraud and abuse of office for over 10 years. There is no court case in sight and no reason to believe it will ever happen. The Texas Supreme Court was just recently cowed into delaying it even further just by a couple of words from Trump.

Trump has significant political power and a truly unlimited bucket of money as his faithful will literally go hungry to give him money. He could likely delay any and all cases until doomsday by just repeatedly filling motions and appeals over and over again.

He didn't in the E Jean Carroll case because it was only money and as I already stated he has an unlimited bucket of money to pull from. Same thing with the civil fraud case in NY. The money is irrelevant as he can always get more from his followers. I would bet he easily bring in twice as much from those rubes as he ever did running any business he has ever owned.

[LymphocyteLover]

26. FWIW most analysts are saying he'll be convicted in at least one major case by the election

[calimary]

40. I hope they're right!

[angrychair]

69. I do too

Honestly do. This country is a complete shit show and headed downhill fast. The poor get poorer and rich get richer. It's depressing.

[angrychair]

41. Most experts have said a lot things

That's just not dealing with reality. There is zero evidence to support a conviction before the election. No criminal trial has even got past the preliminary stages and he hasn't even begun to exhaust his ability to file motions and appeals.
The system is meant to protect people like Trump and grind regular people like the rest of us into dust.

[wryter2000]

53. If SCOTUS refuses to hear his immunity plea

He will likely go to court in DC with Chutkin in May or June. Unless he comes up with some other excuse, he'll be tried in the summer at the height of the campaign. Even if they agree to hear the case, they need five justices to put a stay on Chutkin. Even if the case goes to trial as late as August, he'd be in the middle of a campaign and a federal felony trial. Not exactly ideal for winning an election.

If SCOTUS agrees to hear it, grants a stay, and puts it on their regular calendar...you're right. It won't go to trial before 2025. Cannon is hopeless. Georgia won't go before 2025. That still leaves Alvin Bragg. I wouldn't be so certain that he can delay all of them.

[SheilaAnn]

5. I think you are absolutely correct and I am personally so happy, almost giddy at the thought. n/t

[calguy]

7. Yes, I want him on the ballot

The only way to kill off the MAGAts is humiliation at the polls. Disqualifying him from the ballot will only make him a martyr in the eyes of his rabid followers, and they'll still control the party.
A humiliating defeat down ticket will force the gopricks to take a look in the mirror. They still mighy not change, but at least they'll have to look.

[WarGamer]

8. from you keyboard to God's inbox.

[mitch96]

13. +1.

[TomSlick]

87. +2

[BComplex]

9. If we don't trounce the down-ballot republicans, we're still not going to be much better off.

We need to get rid of all these veto-proof republican majorities in state legislatures, as well as taking full control of all three branches at the federal level.

[wryter2000]

54. State offices moved in 2022

And, I believe, in 2020. It has been done in places like Michigan. More can be done this year.

[BComplex]

10. And THANK YOU to whomever gave me the heart!

[Hope22]

11. Only problem is...

Just because he loses at the polls doesn’t mean that he will concede. That is the big problem. Living that twice with the same insurrectionist is too much to bear.

[keopeli]

15. But, this time, he's not President. He won't be able to:

Hold a rally outside the Capitol.
Prevent Law Enforcement and National Guard from assisting.
Get his new VP to do his dirty work.
Use the bully pulpit of the POTUS
Get the Pentagon to do his bidding.
Get the DOJ to do his bidding.
Refuse to participate in the transfer of power.

And much more that a sitting President can do. Plus, he has lost the element of surprise.

Oh, he'll scream and yell and his yokels will cause a ruckus, but this time violence will be met with immediate arrest and the MSM, even Fox, will be rolling their eyes. Will he desperately try anything? Yes. Will he so easily get away with it? Not a chance this time around.

[JustAnotherGen]

47. Spot on

And I think President Biden and VP Harris will demand the gates of hell be opened on any violent hordes who think they are going to replay January 6th.

The optics of it happening again will not be good for America.

[NonPC]

58. Firehoses Will Suffice

Love to see those wienies get hosed down. Film at 6 pm.

[SlimJimmy]

61. Wow, fire hoses, huh?

[Hope22]

52. I hope you are correct.

I have a feeling the insurrection has never stopped and they may try paid forces next time. Maybe the Flynn crew or something of that nature. They will not take no for an answer. That being said, I hope you are right!

[Hope22]

109. And boom goes the first stick of dynamite.

Well not actually the first but real taste of the next 12 months will bring us…
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218670496

[Joinfortmill]

20. Hopefully, he'll be in the Big House, not the White House

[uponit7771]

27. CORRECT !! said Spain, Germany, Russia ... etc etc

[MorbidButterflyTat]

66. No one cares if he concedes or not

There are huge differences between 2020 and 2024.

Agree with OP.

[LiberalFighter]

101. A big difference is that Drumpf is not currently in office.

He can't take any more classified documents with him.
He can't throw ketchup on the walls in the White House.
He can't have a rally on The Ellipse.
He won't be able to try to have Mike Pence hanged.

[SarcasticSatyr]

12. I pray you are right . . .

But we cannot be complacent, vote and encourage others to as well ..

[DemocratInPa]

16. Beaten.. Yes, but annihilated, I just don't know..

2020, I thought he be annihilated, but it was really close and basically came down to 3 states, who all were very close.
I think we are looking at that again. Biden's numbers sadly just aren't good enough for me to say he is going to be annihilated.

Turnout will be the key.

[Joinfortmill]

17. Amen and Hallelujah!

[mahina]

19. There's winning and then there's winning.He can win the electoral college and get smoked by the rest of us by losing th

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

21. I agree except...

I don't trust these motherfuckers!

[Attilatheblond]

75. Exactly! They KNOW they won't win the vote unless THEY change the vote

That is what we really need to guard against, at every level and in every county!

[LiberalFighter]

104. It would be very difficult to do.

There are 3,143 counties and county-equivalents in the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

And to make it more difficult is that there are multiple polling locations in each county that handle more than just one ballot.

In my county there are about 276 precincts with about 120 polling places. A polling place might handle one precinct or as many as six different precincts. And the ballots are not always the same for each precinct in a polling place. Which would make it difficult for someone to use the internet to change the results. Voting machines are not connected to the internet. There is a cartridge that is inserted into each election machine that is program beforehand for specific ballots based on the voter's address. The clerk that signs in a voter provides a card to the judge to insert into the machine that triggers the proper ballot.

Data from the voter's selections is transferred to the cartridge. At the close of voting a person from each party reviews the results on paper and the machine and both take the cartridge and paper receipt to election headquarters.

Those results are known by workers from both parties as well as people at election headquarters that accept the cartridge and enter it. If everything was done by one person it would be easy to manipulate the data. But that is not the case.

As a side note. Wisconsin handles their elections different. It is not managed by the county. Each city/village and town run it instead of a central county department.

[Attilatheblond]

105. DEM party in my county has been mobilizing

And a lot of us attend county sups meetings because 2 of the 3 refused to certify our AUDITED ballots from 2020 until we almost ALL lost our franchise because the 2 Sups were delaying certification beyond the state's deadline.

Lots of work going on here, including new candidates for Supervisors after a recall barely failed. We are on our FOURTH election boss because the good one finally quit and sued, then the 2 sups hired a couple of losers who left when exposed. In between election bosses, our GOP County Recorder, took the helm and it has been a battle to get things right again, but we are getting it done.

Most here vote by mail and polling places are not by precinct, but open to all registered voters, which sure makes it easier for people who do not work near a home precinct polling place.

Two of the Sups are facing charges at state level. We are watching the Recorder like hawks and are busting our butts to replace him with someone who thinks laws are to be obeyed.

Not easy, and this county is GOP majority, but we are taking back fair elections. Also helping us is the fact that this county has LOTS of retirees and we have time to really dig in.

[LiberalFighter]

106. I think what needs to happen is educate the public about how elections are conducted

from start to finish in your county. By whatever means possible. Getting the media included would be great. Understanding that will make it more difficult for them to challenge.

We have early voting at 5 locations in the county just before the election. One of them is for about a month.

In 2020, we had 267,870 registered voters with 171,079 voting. 64,541 voted on election day and 106,538 voted absentee.

[Attilatheblond]

107. It takes 'boots on the ground' and in public meetings at all levels

You are correct, education is key, but so many people are willfully ignorant, and more are so busy just trying to work and feed their kids that civic engagement is lagging the need for civic engagement.

Getting educated is key, and there are ways for individuals to 'wise up'. Then taking the time to pen LTTE and such helps inform neighbors. Public meetings REALLY need attendance and exposure.

Retirees can be key in many areas. And the young voters... If us geezers work with the young people getting active, it is win/win.

[LiberalFighter]

108. Part of it is getting it on tv and radio.

Another is also educating the precinct chairs and vice chairs. So they understand it and can communicate it to others.

[bucolic_frolic]

23. I wanna believe. Just give us a way to rescue the abused MAGA movement.

I'm glad to see someone say it. Biden will run a "blistering" campaign. If they give you room to run, sprint don't run with it.

[LymphocyteLover]

24. that is my gut feeling but the interim, with all these ridiculous polls, is utterly maddening

[Sogo]

25. I'm hoping BEFORE November,

but that's a matter for a higher power....

[kimbutgar]

28. There are so many videos out there of TFA being an evil idiot the campaign ads write themselves

The lies, messing up words, names of people and adoration of right wing dictators and himself declaring a dictator on day one. And the DNC has a lot more money to run President Biden's re election campaign because TFA took most of their money because he has to have someone pay his legal bills!

But I think the stress of the lawsuits will cause TFA to self destruct!

[sarisataka]

29. If we take this to heart and become complacent

we have no one else to blame if it doesn't come to pass.

[PCIntern]

31. Anyone on this board complacent?

I don’t think so.

[sarisataka]

37. I don't know everyone on the board

But I recall a lot of complacency in 2016.

In 2020 the vast majority believed there was no possible way he could match his vote total of 2016. Reality was he exceeded his previous total significantly.

Never underestimate an opponent before the votes are counted.

[JoseBalow]

65. I used to be complacent

but I've been non-practicing for years

[0rganism]

30. I hope you're correct

However, as your post shows, Trump comes in with an important advantage: recognition.

I'm not talking "name recognition", which obviously is not an issue for TSF.

No, it's pronoun recognition. If you can make a post using only "He" as the titular identifier, and everyone instantly knows who you're talking about, that's a non-trivial condition. "He" looms large in America, not "too big to fail" I hope, but I don't see this as a cakewalk. No, if anything, I see a goddam nailbiter to the bitter end, and if "He" loses, TSF will call for violence from his substantial base of cruel cultish supporters and enough will answer to cause some real problems nationwide, not just at the capitol this time.

[PCIntern]

32. Yes you're right...true also of Hitler and Mussolini

In the US. We are gonna metaphorically beat the living shit out of him and that is voluminous.

[0rganism]

38. Neither of whom were defeated electorally

I'm not clear on which countries are prepared to invade the USA to remove TSF should he once again attain the presidency; I suppose that would depend on his invasion schedule.

[DFW]

33. I don't share your prediction quite yet, but I'm tending in that direction

The only thing holding me back from full shouting in agreement is that I do not count out an onslaught of Republican electoral fraud. They see the same numbers we do, and they are wondering if there is anything, legal or otherwise, that they can do about it. If they think it will make a difference in their favor, they will toss "legal" out with yesterday's trash, and go with the "otherwise."

[Warpy]

34. That's certainly the plan

but I am happy to read all the puff pieces that tell the voting public it's some kind of horse race. People who might otherwise stay on the the couch instead of going out in the cold in November to vote will be frightened into doing just that.

He was really an unknown quantity in 2016, at least outside NY, New England and Scotland (and the latter can't vote here, more's the pity). People thought he was that heavily scripted business genius and multiple billionaire they saw on their TVs.

There's no excuse now, especially with so many family members sucked into the cult and impossible to be around. Frighten them that he might win again, they'll button up those coats and to out to vote.

So grin at the horse race stories. They're on our side.

[Wounded Bear]

35. Your keyboard to god's monitor...preach it!

[edhopper]

36. As Han said to Luke

Don't get cocky kid!

[republianmushroom]

39. Maybe, hopefully you are correct, but, remember what happened in 2016.

As I recall it was said he had no chance, but,.....

Do not become over confident, if you do, you may not like what happens.

[sprinkleeninow]

42. "Hey everbody! Ingest ivermectin to treat COVID 19!

Love you!"
Signed, FFFF


Yah, that's the ticket...

[C Moon]

43. I still say there's the chance that he'll drop out a week before the election.

If he knows he's going to lose, he'll do anything possible to create chaos—even moving to Russia, and divulging more secrets.

[FalloutShelter]

44. That's poetry

This time there’s gonna be a blistering, withering campaign by Biden and it’s gonna make the LBJ Daisy ad look like a joke. The video alone is gonna toast Trump’s nuts on Biscayne Boulevard and remembrance of things past like injecting bleach and UV light will re-demonstrate what a buffoon he is.

[WestMichRad]

45. I totally agree

Here’s hoping his coattails (diaper tails?) drag a lot of his syncopatic congresscritters down with him.
Expect them to scream loudly about the election being rigged, but nothing to come of their histrionics.

[Torchlight]

46. I do tend to think this campaign is his swan song

Walls are slowly but inexorably closing in on him, and before long he won't have room to move. My guess is the next two or three months we're covered by his loony libretto after which, he falls wholly into caricature and blazes out in peak tantrum.

[spanone]

48. K&R Agreed.

[wiggs]

49. That's what SHOULD happen of course. And if polls and pundits catch on to that, look

for him to endorse someone else in exchange for pardons

I expect there will be 'lols' re that comment and with reason given his mental sickness. But it remains his best chance at pardons.

[Mr.Bee]

50. Don't ever forget

Biden called out Republican'ts wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare at SOTU and how shocked they were!
Now the Republican'ts are campaigning on it (Nikki Haley), it's what the Republican't party represents - Social Security Advantage and Medicare Advantage.

[wryter2000]

51. For this you get another heart from me

I can't scream "Amen" loudly enough. The poll are BS. They haven't predicted anything for years. Ignore them.

As Katy Tur often asks her guests--"Who's going to vote for him who didn't in 2020?" No-EFFING-one is. And boodles of people who did vote for him are going to vote for Biden. Or not vote or vote for Manchin.

His deterioration is so obvious, his attempts at campaigning will only make the situation worse for him. I hope to God at least one person puts together a video comparing how he spoke in 2016 as opposed to now. The difference is scary.

On top of that, ninety percent of the Republicans have tied their fate to him with stupid things like blocking that border/Israel/Ukraine bill. He's going to tank them all.

[rzemanfl]

55. I joined you on the heart thing.

I agree with the OP, but that does not mean I will stop hoping every morning that the orange anus died or became incapacitated while I slept.

[wryter2000]

57. And a heart for you

I don't want it to happen while I'm asleep. I want to watch.

[rzemanfl]

80. Thank you very much.

[livetohike]

56. I agree. So much material to use in campaign ads

through videos, tweets, statements from others of how unfit for office Trump is, etc. a nice short campaign ad would be UNFIT in all caps. No need to explain.

[OAITW r.2.0]

59. I hope TSF drags every Republican who supports him down as well.

Give Joe a 60 seat Senate majority with 50 additional seats in the House. Then watch how change happens.

[brooklynite]

60. Better let. Oren's campaign team know that.

They tell me it’s going to be close in both the vote count and EV.

[Greybnk48]

62. I think you are absolutely right about all of this,

and the slobfather is going to take the GOP and MAGAts with him! 100%

[myohmy2]

63. nope...

...I think it's going to be close, very close, too close...

...whatever's happening to trump doesn't matter...half of America has granted him political immunity...

...haven't you noticed...?

...

[DemocratInPa]

70. This is what I think.. People underestimate a few things..

They look at 2020 and see it as a blowout, but wasn't. The election basically came down to 3 states which all were .05% or less.

The popular vote looks bad, but California made up like 5 Million of that.

I think Biden wins, but I am just worried with his numbers not being great, he isn't going to get the turnout for independents and Repubs he did in 2020.
I also worry about Gen Z. They are upset about certain things.

[ificandream]

64. Love that pep talk.

I've been saying that there is a lot of discontent with Trump from the Silent Majority who would much rather have a quiet leader like Biden instead of the loudmouth that Trump is. I think we'll be fine come November. I don't know that it'll be a landslide, but I think Trump will be dog poop.

[PatrickforB]

67. This is what I've been thinking too. Not to be PollyAnna here, but today's GOP has a lot

of baggage weighing them down, and I won't even mention that their whole party structure seems to be disintegrating.

My hope is Trumpy walks away with the GOP nomination this July. I think Biden will beat him handily, and that he will very likely have a major health event prior to the election.

I say this because I was at work, but my wife watched the SCOTUS hearings today and she believes they will rule against Colorado. We'll see how it plays out, of course, but this is what she thinks. She said she hates to even hear Clarence Thomas talk.

[onecaliberal]

68. I agree completely.

It's pathetic watching the people spinning like tops to make excuses.

[Wild blueberry]

74. You said it!

Eloquently.

May it be so.

(Everyone I know is working to make it so.)

[ecstatic]

76. I don't want him on the ballot.

I don't trust the gop.

[Hekate]

77. From your lips to the Lady's ears

[crickets]

78. Yes! Yes! Yes! /meg ryan

Love it, PCIntern! Already marked the primary date and I'm ready to go vote. Let's do this!!

[Norbert]

79. I hope you are right about him being Typhoid Mary

In Ohio it is a GOP battle over who can lick dump's anus the most. I sure hope this backfires big time.

[sellitman]

82. I hope you are spot on.

It sounds right but the world we live in doesn't make sense most of the time.

[Kennah]

83. Biden winning 538 electoral votes and 75% of the popular vote would be rather nice

FDR would be okay with this, knocking FDR out of the #1 slot in his win over Alf Landon in 1936--523 out of 531 electoral votes at that time

[OverBurn]

86. I sure hope you're right. I'll be worried till the end.

[JohnnyRingo]

89. I can't imagine Trump winning any Biden voters over.

People who voted for Biden three years ago were disgusted by Trump. He hasn't cleaned up his act since then.
I kind of hope he stays on the ballot in Colorado and other states. He can't win if we get motivated.

[Stuart G]

90. K and R. No text and Great Post. Thank You for all the work you do at Democratic Underground.

[RocRizzo55]

91. I hope you are correct. I am hoping for one kind of arrest of Donny

One of the cardiac variety. Then we will be rid of him for good.

[Glaisne]

92. I fervently hope you're right!

[DownriverDem]

93. Gaza needs to be fixed

The Arab American community in Dearborn Michigan has turned against Biden. I know it's crazy thinking trump would be a better choice with his hate towards anyone not a white repub Christian. They are planning to not vote for him in our 2/27 presidential primary.

[yankee87]

94. From your lips

to God's ear.

[PennRalphie]

95. 100% correct

Here in PA, Biden is going to win in a total landslide. Probably 12-15 points. The economy here is booming. Our fantastic Governor is going to be a great surrogate for Biden. I understand why some want to tamper expectations, but there isn’t one state Biden won in 20 that he won’t win this year.

[LaMouffette]

97. Well put, PCIntern! I agree 1,000 percent he's going to get shellacked BIGLY in November. I predict his reaction will

be:

"But! But! No one has EVER received SO FEW VOTES in a presidential election! That PROVES the election was RIGGED!!! Voter fraud! Voter fraud! Rigged election machines! Hugo Chavez! Dead people voting! Blah! Blah! Blah!"

I can't wait and I sincerely hope that it IS Donald Trump on the ballot in November,.

[LiberalFighter]

99. Wouldn't that be something if Biden beat Drumpf by nearly 16 million popular votes like LBJ?

It won't have the same impact as LBJ but still should be considered stunning.

I've been figuring at least 10 million. Maybe as high as 12 million. Now if Drumpf were to be taken off the ballot for California that would add more. The same for Illinois or other states.

Drumpf didn't have his current issues in 2016. Nor were they a factor in 2020. In 2020, it was because voters saw first hand with their eyes and ears how much of an idiot he is.

[Silent Type]

102. Thought same in 2016.

[sop]

103. Please! Biscayne Boulevard is in Miami-Dade, Trump lives in Palm Beach, a couple of counties to the north.

We don't want the stench of Trump's toasting testicles anywhere near Biscayne Boulevard. Let them toast his nuts on Royal Palm Way.
