Indeed, you can tell he's been thinking about his options too:

So are there any predictions on what the results will be by midnight of Election Day?
Trump is obviously going to say the mail-in ballots were fixed OR there were illegals voting in <insert state here>. This election will 100% be determined by the courts because Trump will sue sue sue....
Dad say for America....we are a third world dictatorship.

Of course something can be done and it's obvious what would happen. If the will of the people is overturned by corrupt legislatures and courts then the nation will descend into civil war.
We have to get past this idea that America is different from other nations. We are not special. The result of authoritarian rule is predictable.
We have to expel this dictator with diligence and courage. It must be done quickly and resoundingly. Otherwise, our nation will be torn apart.

And that concept of exceptionalism, which is a massive selling point on the right, is what keeps the wool over americans' eyes. By so many measures we really are a third world country, but dare anyone complain and they are told to leave. Embracing a corrupt system should never be the answer, but here we are.
foxnews.com is all riots, all the time.
they think that's a bigger story than covid and Rs telling of plans to subvert the election.
Our Adolf Trump won't accept the election results ! We must "Landslide Him " !!
Forty days until Election Day. Sounds almost biblical. But:
DON'T COUNT THE DAYS, MAKE THE DAYS COUNT.
You can spend the next 40 days posting and moaning on LRC, wringing your hands and trolling...or you can actually *do* something besides stewing.

This is another reason to vote for Biden, not that anyone should need anymore reasons.
Trump can't keep peace in the streets and has failed to be the "law and order" President.
Trump, when Obama was President: "Our country is totally fractured and, with our weak leadership in Washington, you can expect Ferguson type riots and looting in other places."

Yep, that "Gap" is back up to 10.4 percentage points. Doesn't look like Joe is doing much to widen it, so I'm guessing it's mostly in reaction to what Don is doing and saying. I suspect DJT's chances would be somewhat better if he would just shut up and stay on the golf course.
And speaking of shutting up, I'll do the same for a while--my gift to fellow LRCers. Think I'll write some of those postcards to voters...
See ya.

There are a few other initiatives also targeting swing state voters. I donated to them as well. And the biggest thing you can do is vote early, like asap...

The press is dying to get the sound bite "I will leave office" but even if they don't, they will run with the one they got which is basically what Hillary is telling Biden: It depends, wait and see.
Absolute nonsense calling it a cuban election. The USA is the most democratic country in the world even with the Black Panthers monitoring the polling stations.

Biff doesn't care about what is actually happening... if america is totally divided, burning to the ground, and even in a civil war, he will be happy as long as those libs keep getting owned.

He is no longer trying to win the election.
He is trying to fire up his base to not believe the results.
He will get louder and louder as the election approaches.
It's about creating chaos and doubt.
On Nov, 4th, most major media outlets will project Biden as the winner.
I don't know if Fox News, but they may.
Then Trump will use very trick in the book to entice his people to riot and he will never concede.
The courts will hold up the results.
If it goes to the Supreme Court, I believe Roberts and Gorsuch will hold up the result along with Breyer, Kagan and Sotomayor.
That's all you need to have Biden win.
If they get states like North Carolina and Florida to split their electoral votes, while Texas gives all of their electoral votes to their popular vote winner, you could have a real crooked result.

Everything in your troll statement is ridiculous, but especially the last sentence.. trump's response was "get rid of the ballots and there will be a peaceful transferal of power". He's saying votes for Biden shouldn't count.

You are right about him priming the base... but whether Biden appears to be the winner early on depends on how many votes are mailed in and counted by Nov 4. No one should for a second doubt that trump minions would actually prevent counting of ballots to help him with the early results. As far as FOX - if Biden is leading they will immediately bring in the "experts" that will be claiming all night that there is reported fraud.. if Trump is leading they will announce him the clear winner and say the Dems are trying to steal it if the results flip later.

You're mistaking "extreme disappointment and dissatisfaction" with "refusing to accept the results and deny the certified winner as per our tradition of democracy."
Trump's team is exploring options to direct loyal electors to ignore election results that don't suit him to secure him a win in the Electoral College. The head of Pennsylvania's GOP has confirmed this on the record.
How would you feel if Obama had done that for HRC?
