Opinion | New emails show Trump’s stealing the election was always Plan A

Donnie literally said the only way he loses is if Democrats cheat, and that was back in August of 2020. Projection as usual.

Thats what he said in 2016. Guess who sued four states that represented his margin of victory to stop recounts of 1% difference in votes for Trump v Clinton.
- Yeah he said it in both election cycles https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/512424-trump-the-only-way-we-are-going-to-lose-this-election-is-if-the/
  Apparently he says that a lot, including when The Apprentice lost the Emmys to Amazing Race.
He said that in his run against Clinton.
- also 2020

If the dems don't control the house, they will do this again

Even if the Dems control the House, they will do this again.
The way it works is you sow enough chaos to invalidate the Electoral College count. If you pull that off, the President is chosen by the House.
But the vote in the House isn't one member, one vote... oh, no no no... it's one STATE one vote.
So California with all it's 52 Representatives? 1 vote. New York? 1 vote.
Since there are more red states than blue states, that would throw the election to the Republican.
- Source?
  I’ve never heard one state one vote. If it was the senate, 2 votes 2 states would make sense, but the House of Representatives never runs on a per state basis that I know of (maybe ratifying the constitution I guess, but that’s not a House only process).
There’s actually a path even if the Republicans lose the House. All they have to do is “contest” enough of the House elections for Mike Johnson to refuse to swear in the Democrats until it gets “all sorted out”… conveniently after the presidential certification.

Oh wow, who would have guessed that the lifetime liar and cheat was going to lie and cheat?

I mean, he actually did tell the truth that he wouldn't accept a loss.

I mean, who would have guessed. Of course the velveeta baboon was planning to do that. The number of scalliwags eager to help him and their thorough dishonesty is somewhat shocking though.

Link to the emails if anyone is interested. Fair warning, it's 1,439 pages long.

Pages 81 and 82 are interesting. From Cheesebro:
...the Legislature should decree that the voters of Wisconsin, due to malfeasance by election officials, have FAILED TO MAKE A CHOICE in the manner directed by the Legislature which delegated the appointment process to voters.
...Doing so doesn't disenfranchise voters. It's clear that citizens have no right to vote for president. And it's clear that if a Legislatures chooses to let citizens vote for president, the voting has to be done in the manner the Legislature directed -- not in some other manner, manipulated by a particular political party for partisan advantage. So it logically follows that partisan election officials go too far over the line, the election just doesn't count.
...What I like about this setup is that there would be no effort to get the Legislature to override the will of the people. The Legislature would merely active proactively, to fill a possible vacuum that might end up existing, if a court later rules that the election itself violated Article II.
- Doing so doesn’t disenfranchise voters. It’s clear that citizens have no right to vote for president.
  "They're not disenfranchised if they don't have the right in the first place." Imagine writing those sentences together unironically and thinking you're very smart.

I just hope they’re better prepared this time.

duh

I'm soooo shocked.

That feels like a weird article to be an opinion article, anybody else feel like that's an odd editorial choice?

msnbc dot com slash opinion

It literally says opinion in the headline. It's even the very first word!!!
So what's your point?
- Well I, at least, would really appreciate proof to back up such a headline. If there's clear intent here we can bonk some annoying fox pundits.
- These are the pieces that feel like they're designed to be dramatic, and push that feeling onto the readers. They're not fact-based pieces, yet still get published alongside fact-based pieces on MSNBC. They're then posted on targeted social media, where it typically isn't checked for facts.
  LUCKILY this headline says it's an opinion, but take notice of how many headlines here don't have it, but link to opinions.
