The more Trump talks about the Courts deciding the election...

...the less confidence he has that he will win.

It is unbelievable that our elected Congress would permit anyone to demean and destroy our election system the way Trump is permitted to do.

Can someone just tell him to "shut the hell up!" We really don't need that crap!

It is sickening the way they accept that kind of talk as "normal".

I don’t know if it is a good idea to respond to such absurd things. It just breathes life into what he is saying. The only people paying attention to him are his deluded followers if you don’t call attention to it.

He's such a whiny-assed little pissant. He's such a big cry-baby that I cannot understand how anyone could see him as anything but a pain in the ass.

I'll be so glad when he's gone, one way or another.

Don't count, unless he wins of course, then they do, and republicans are saying nothing shows they're involved with him , and compromised by putin too. That's how corrupt trump and the republican party has become now. Justices, when they have a majority in the courts, have the power to corruptly over ride the will and votes of the American people for political reasons, ignoring the Constitution altogether. trump doesn't want the American people now to choose who wins the election, and wants his appointee's and party Justices to install him.

Wild fire conspiracies like this one are just that wild conspiracies that stoke fear, despair and may cause people to give up and not vote...STOP!

Do you think this is what RBG, John Lewis or Elijah Cummings would say??

I hope the system works but there’s no guarantee. I still think the election will be a blue landslide but my confidence that it will be honored is getting to be less and less.

He and his criminals have NO say over state run elections. If the numbers are within recount range then he can do that... a recount. The courts won’t step in and call the election..period

Chump has no problem with treason, as long as it gets him what he wants. However, I don't think Roberts would touch overthrowing the election with a ten foot pole.

I'm convinced more now than ever that he is closely guided by Putin, a man who knows how to bring a country to its knees. I personally know tRump voters and they are animated by the consistent claim that Democrats will do anything to unseat tRump, even steal an election. They believe that RBG's passing and a quick seating of a conservative judge will save the country because they're expecting a contested election. They want the election decided quickly by the SC. Every one of these ideas was seeded by tRump. I promise you they believe it.

Trump has them convinced that they are fighting for democracy, when nothing could be further from the truth.

The constant lies have distorted their world view to the point of no return. There is no other option than to gotv and unseat this criminal regime. If we fail, America will never look the same again.

We must win.

is seen by him as a threat to his despotic rule. That is what he is using the willing dime store Mussolini for. We have to fully realize this with the confidence that they cannot defeat the power of our vote. That is what they fear, and we will not allow them to take that away. After we vote we have to insist that it be honestly counted, using every legal tool at our disposal. We are the majority and we shall prevail.
