US Election 2020 - Delayed? 00:25 - Jul 31 with 3658 viewsKerouac

Donald Trump doesn't like postal voting as he says it is susceptible to fraud (it really is actually) and has floated the idea of delaying the election.

Postal voting will be increased due to Covid-19.
The USA have never delayed an election in all it's history.

If Trump gets his way on this should we be worried about what that means?
Or do you have some sympathy for his position?

He’s isolated on the issue. Even senior republicans and his mates MacConnell and McCarthy have told him to forget it. He’ll never get it through Congress and Americans love their constitution more than anything. They held elections during the civil war and World War Two.

Sign of desperation from Trump?

Postal fraud only gets a handful of fraudulent ballots and these don't even amount to a rounding error(Trump himself uses the absentee ballot). I also have a vague memory that when election fraud of any magnitude has been found it was usually done to favour Republicans...awkward.

He is trying to pave the way for claiming the election hs been stolen from him if he loses his bid. Some Americans think he may utilise a complicit William Barr to use "legal" means to nulify the vote, "declare an emergency"and stay in power. Is this likely? - I have no idea!

Is it likely ? No it's not

Trump would have to have the military backing him to pull off a stunt like that

It's over for him and he knows it

Eventually the world will discover exactly what putin had on him

If the Democrats were to put up any sort of decent candidate they’d win easily. But they seem to be putting up Joe Biden.

Four more years for Trump it is then.

350 million people and these two senile old goats are the options. And we thought we had it bad with our veritable smorgasbord of horrible unappealing “leaders” here.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Looks like both distraction and an early attempt to challenge results

Unlikely as needs both houses of Congress to approve and with one Democrat controller.
Also seems some senior GOP figures are distancing themselves from Trump-perhaps damage limitation towards future House and Senate elections and beyond to 2024.
That would, as do polls and models, that Trump is going to crash badly. I think he will pull back somewhat, but it seems likely the high Covid rate and dire economic performance will dog him through into November.

Finally, he would need military support to attempt any overturning of election results.
This of course goes against the constitution. It would be a coup. Prior evidence is that the military would follow constitutional duties.

Could another corona invoked lockdown potentially delay any election?

On a related note has there been any elections cancelled during this outbreak worldwide or have they gone ahead?

Trump is a dead man walking in terms of November 2020.
He has been a complete and utter disaster.
Protesters beaten and snatched from the streets, what next ?

Clearly it's proving the Russian money and Russian pee videos that is the issue to come next.
Or Epstein tapes perhaps ?

Biden is a better candidate but not a great candidate.
His choice on the ticket could be a black female and Trump will implode.

He is going to jail and he knows it.
Lets all hope he does not start a war between now and November. He might just try it.

Sympathy? He must think he's going to lose. Most people seem to, He's behind in the polls anyway.
Postal voting has been used fraudulently but it's rare, even in banana republics apparently. Though there were reports of some students voting twice over brexit, but who can be sure?

Delaying the election smacks of desperation to me. Trump has gotten some things right but is that more a case of stopped clock? Lets face it, the list of things he screwed up is longer and growing more quickly. The number of lies he's told and stupid things he said, such as injecting bleach, the bloke isn't fit for office.

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

The Chinese are such a beacon of democracy.

One would assume that the most ridiculous of all Trump supporters wouldn’t advocate the same simply because the US economy has tanked, the virus numbers remain worryingly out of control in large swathes of the US and various documents in all sorts of cases are being released, both financial and other.

It’s an excruciating choice of candidates from both parties.

Biden needs to select a VP wisely. Trump will have ever increasing meltdowns as November approaches unless his polling substantially improves.

And that’s without making any assumption btw that the ‘High profile businessman and hotel owner’ could be him or that his financial details are released in time.

A bit like our last GE except for Biden read Bojo.

If Trump wins again it must surely be bacause Biden is seen like Corbyn was, as an even worse option, not because Trump is a good choice.

Has anybody on here actually watched any of Biden's Election campaigning?
The guy is senile and doesn't have a clue where he is or what is going on.
He can't take questions and can't even reliably read his autocue.
Add to that he is one of the most corrupt Democrats around, look up his and his son's kick backs from Ukraine and China.
He is the better candidate if you want to elect his running mate.
