MSNBC's playing back remarks to reporters that were recorded a few minutes ago.
Started into 2016 again and ended his remarks by saying the votes he should have gotten could be "as high as 10 to 15 million."

(2,199 posts)If he has any sense of reality he knows he's under water and has no chance of winning in 2020. All he can do is what he always does - lie, cheat, and steal.
If the stealing gets violent, so be it, in his mind.

(14,784 posts)With a total vote cast of ~130M in the prior couple of elections, 10-15M is 7-10%. It's very plausible there is some particular poll (or a briefing on multiple polls) which is sticking in his craw and since he lacks any sort of filter and is constntly blurting out BS about whatever is on his mind...

(18,837 posts)...he is definitely the guy to follow on Twitter if you want clips fast. Also, many people...myself included...won't sit through a full 90 to 120 minutes of Trump ranting at a MAGAt rally, but want to see the crazy highlights. That's one of Aaron's specialties, He cuts to the chase on everything.

(64,389 posts)Yeah, it's good for clicks (which is all they really care about...ad money anyone???) but some absolute dipshit somewhere, likely wearing a MAGA hat and a Q patch is going to nod and just say, "yup" and repeat/repost that supidity and vote that way.
Because ignorance and stupidity is hand-in-hand bliss now, thanks social media you fucking cancer.

(1,263 posts)He could stand there and gush that he's traveled to Mars, or that he's won the Nobel prize eight times or that he's the emperor of Tibet or that he's already shot all his twelve apostles on Fifth Avenue, and it doesn't make it true. It means we need to get the net.

(203,029 posts)They responded that it would take years to prepare for such a distant and complicated mission. I vote that they grant his wish right now - and since it's his idea, they should send him.

(28,303 posts)A 2 minute montage of clips showing Trump crying about the ever-growing list of "unfair" things he is a victim of - ending with a black screen, white text summing it all up with something like
"Wow. . . what a tough guy." 🙄

Voter purges disproportionately affect low-income and minority voters.
https://thinkprogress.org/states-purged-16-million-voters-from-the-rolls-before-the-2016-election-1c5688dcaad7/
States purged more than 16 million voters from the rolls between 2014 and 2016. That number, calculated in a new report published Friday by the Brennan Center for Justice, is a significant increase from previous years and an indication that large numbers of eligible voters are likely being disenfranchised by inaccurate and unlawful voter roll maintenance.
