Trump Has Plans For America

Trump plans to steal the 2020 election.  His Plan A is to demand that mail-in ballots in critical states are tossed out simply for being mail-in ballots.  Along with Trump, the Republican Party has over one thousand lawyers standing by to contest mail-in ballots in states where the loss of a small percentage of Biden votes will impact a close election.

Donald Trump would not commit to peacefully transferring power to Joe Biden if he loses the election in November, instead saying election officials must “get rid” of any illegal ballots.

“We’re going to have to see what happens. You know that I’ve been complaining very strongly about the ballots. And the ballots are a disaster,” Mr Trump said at a press conference on Wednesday, a continuation of his repeated attacks on the integrity of expanded mail-in voting programmes states have rolled out amid the coronavirus pandemic.

“Do you commit to making sure that there’s a peaceful transferral of power?” the reporter asked.

“We want to get rid of the ballots, and you’ll have a very peaceful — there won’t be a transfer, frankly, there’ll be a continuation,” Mr Trump replied.

“The ballots are out of control. You know it,” he said, to which the reporter objected, “No, I don’t know it.”

Trump's Plan B is to make so much noise about election fraud that states with Republican controlled state legislatures feel empowered to appoint Electors to the Electoral College who will be instructed to vote for Trump, despite the popular vote results in those states.

The Trump campaign is weighing a postelection strategy that would bypass the results in key swing states by installing electors who would vote for the president in the Electoral College even if he loses, The Atlantic reported.

Using a rationale of baseless claims about widespread voter fraud and other irregularities with mail ballots, President Donald Trump "would ask state legislators to set aside the popular vote and exercise their power to choose a slate of electors directly," The Atlantic's Barton Gellman wrote, adding that "the longer Trump succeeds in keeping the vote count in doubt, the more pressure legislators will feel to act before the safe-harbor deadline expires."

A crucial component to both of these plans is a compliant judiciary that will rule in Trump's favor when Democrats attempt to stop this election theft in the Federal courts.  Thus the Republican rush to insure Justice Ginsburg's Trump appointed right wing replacement is installed on the Supreme Court by November 3.

This isn't fantastic speculation.  Trump has been working to  delegitimatize any election outcome that doesn't have him as the winner.  The Republican Party is 100% behind Trump as he works to end our democracy.
