2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Trump tweeting this AM: "...there is large scale voter fraud happening on and before election day." [View all]Raster
(20,999 posts)...in other words, about as loose of a cannon as they come. Don't forget the allegations of him raping a 13-year old, plus the current sexual battery allegations, with more to come...
The only thing tRump had/has of any value is his tRump brand, which has taken a severe beating this election cycle. He's going to have to do something to recharge and rejuvenate the brand. As fate would have it, serial sexual abuser and noted misogynist pig, Roger <spit> Ailes, the pudgy Viper himself, has just been sent packing by the Murdoch boys, who always despised Ailes and his brand of "news." That set of circumstances certainly lends itself to business opportunity in the guise of a tRump News Network aimed specifically at the type of voter tRump attracts: heavy on conspiracy, heavy on situational pity and ultra-low on actual, non-biased information. Picture Faux News with HEAVY Alex Jones overtones, and just the right amount of Breitbart thrown in for good measure. They'll already have their first eight years in the tank with their "All Hillary All HATE, 24/7."
As for his followers and the claims of cheating: Overall, that's a GOP problem. They created it, they nurtured it, they own it. The GOP needs to repudiate the claims of electoral fraud in the strongest, clearest terms, with absolutely no mixed message. There are many good people in the GOP, principled people, people who truly do love this country and realize the madman they facilitated would wantonly destroy America, if it put money in his pocket.
