What stupid shit has Trump done today?

[gentlegreen]

A couple of the politically experienced Democrats on PT were saying they are still hopeful for control of the Senate, but that if the GOP win the House, it would be quite useful to demonstrate that they have no policies and also so that the factions can tear each other apart - all in public.
One of them was egging them on to try to destroy welfare so that maybe the penny would drop among the poorest Trumpers.

Even if Trump doesn't run there are enough MAGAts will write his name in anyway.

If true that'd presumably be classified as a spoiled ballot, and would remove an almost certain vote from whoever the GOP do choose.

Write ins are allowed in most US states, including all the big ones.

Write-in votes are counted and they can win, depending on state law - Alaska's Sen. Lisa Murkowski won as a write-in candidate after she lost the Republican primary in 2010.

Most US states allow write-up in candidates for presidential elections.

 

[stavros]

Fair enough. I was applying UK rules there.

How do you write in a candidate on their electronic voting machines?

 

[pogofish]

Seriously fucking WHAT...?

"The Zionist Organization of America’s sole mission is to fight for Israel’s and the Jewish people’s safety and security and prosperity. Since President Trump is the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House, we felt it was our moral duty to thank him for all he did for the Jewish State and the Jewish people and to express our sincere appreciation—from moving the embassy to Jerusalem to recognizing the Golan Heights to the Abraham Accords to strengthening protection for Jews on campuses and so much more,” ZOA President Morton Klein said.

ZOA to award Donald Trump with its highest honor

So if loads of people wrote in "john smith" which "john smith" would win?

They should take a look over the pond... 12 years of austerity and the penny still hasn't dropped amongst some of the poorest in this country, lots of Red Wall folk still voted for the Tories, still believing all the bullshit about how it was the immigrants who were stealing their jobs and we needed to 'take back our sovereignty'.

Fair enough. I was thinking of the 'hanging chad' fiasco they had/have. (Do they still use those machines?) I was wondering how you voted for someone else without taking a hole punch in with you.

After midterm losses, President Loser gears up to announce what will hopefully be another journey into loserdom.

Ex-president Loser, thank you very much.

 

[teqniq]

I really hope he decides to run. Has potential to fuck up the Repugs very badly.

I sort of think that. But then I also think a lot of people said that before and look where it got them then.

not enough of them


some of his pick for the mid term where at the capital on jan 6

Dr Oz seems enough on its own.

 

[cupid_stunt]

So he's confirmed that he's going to stand again, all we can do is hope he gets nowhere near the White House again.

Ivanka Trump doesn't want to get involved.

"This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family," Ivanka Trump told Fox News Digital. "I do not plan to be involved in politics."

 

[bimble]

i am planning to enjoy this his doomed attempt to be president again, which kind of surprises me because i really didn't think i had any optimism left. But with Murdoch (fox news owner) and most of the republican party now having had enough of him i think it will be fun to watch him lose and his loserdom dawn on him before he dies.

 

[Ax^]

gollum trump is still the best one on twitter

 

[a_chap]

I thought US presidents were limited to two terms in office.

As Trump claims he won the last election he's ineligible to stand again, surely...

 

[Ax^]

don't think he expect to get back in just claw the last pennys his gobshite followers

This is the dream for me. The GOP will not choose him as the nominee, they'll go in with De Santis. Trump, being Trump, won't be able to stand the humiliation, and will either form his own party or run as an independent. Either way, he will split the vote and the Democratic candidate will piss all over them.

Although it's difficult to overstate the sheer stupidity and short-sightedness of the American right and far-right, it's also unwise to underestimate their overriding, grasping desperation to achieve power at all costs (up to and including selling-out their most vociferously stated deeply held principles and convictions).

If it looks like Trump will sink without trace, they'll drop him without a second's thought.

 

[Cloo]

Of course he wasn't going be able to back off from this. Hopefully he will be be hoist by his own petard and given a thorough wedgie while at it.
