Trump has the right idea. We should know the election winner on the night of the election.

This drawn out process is no good for everyone. Every GOP governor and Secretary of State should allow their state to begin counting mail in/early votes ahead of time. This is can’t be pleasant for them either.

In PA the GOP state legislature set the rules that prevented the mail ballots from being processed before election day.

I know that. But it seems increasingly clear they want a hundred percent certainty before making the call and that will require the uncounted votes to be less than the lead. I am just wondering if it will even happen this weekend.

NBC said they'll call PA once Biden's lead gets to 35000, he's about 7,000 away from that.

Don't think I saw any mention of it here, but apparently Trump's niece was talking about how he must be taking the loss extra personally. There wasn't a massive blue wave shifting the senate and everything else, it was just people voting against him.

Anybody watch Fox in the past week? Were they particularly bullish on Trump's chances? All of the Trump supporters I know are blindsided by the election, especially the popular vote; they were expecting a Trump blowout.

Everything about this could not have gone worse for him.

Almost every Republican did great except for Trump. He lost to Sleepy Joe, someone he doesn’t respect. At least with Hillary, even though he hated her, he respected that she was a shrewd operator and losing to the Clinton machine, that he contributed to, when he was an outsider, would not be shameful at all.

Losing to Sleepy Joe who hid in basement all campaign, and a female PoC VP is going to make him so mad.

It is also going to make the next few weeks interesting. McConnell is going to want to pass a stimulus bill to save the GA senate seats, but McConnell denied Trump the opportunity to pass something that may very well have saved him. He is going to get cucked by a decrepit turtle, who he will blame for inflicting this most humiliating loss upon him.

I’d imagine there was a lot of long processes in the early post-Washington years, especially John Quincy Adams. In modern history Bush v Gore the easy winner.

I'm expecting OANN to license his name and give his fat rear end a megaphone whenever he feels like popping off. I guess the question is whether Trump News lasts longer than Trump vodka, Trump steaks and Trump University.

No kidding. I know it's unproductive to play "what if," but imagine how different the country and the world would be today had Gore won. There's a non-zero chance that 9/11 would have been averted and every stupid loving thing that can be traced back to it.

I got that but that certainly seems like a nothing burger but hopefully I am wrong. Maybe he is doing what I expect of him. Certainly part of my frustration is the situation for sure but it sure came across like some dude waiting for authority when he could be using his bipartisan powers he keeps talking about to get poo poo done.
