Trump has, with no pushback as far as I've seen, claimed that he likely won states like CA and NY and Illinois in 2020. Why change what has led to what millions of voters believe was two massive landslide wins?
This is one of the best posts you've made in a while. Although, I don't think you give people enough credit. The average Joe (not Biden) I speak to who supports Trump is not a radical conservative. I don't think I've ever met one of those like many claim on this board. I agree. It's gonna be tough for Trump to change who he is on the inside. His drive and arrogance will always get the best of him.
Quote:And I've admitted before that the main reason I want to see Trump lose in 2024 is because I want to see how it goes over if/when he again says that he won in a massive landslide for a 3rd time in a row but it was stollen again.
Seriously, I get the humor or the self-gratification it would bring you to see someone you dislike fail. But, it's a lot bigger than us.
Quote:But yes, Biden in 2024 should be the biggest layup there is but instead of moving on from a candidate who lost it's a requirement to say he didn't lose. As I've said before, it'd be like if instead of going to Reagan in 1980 the GOP just said that Jimmy Carter cheated in 1976 and they should just roll with Gerald "didn't lose" Ford again, or if democrats didn't move on to Bill Clinton because they were convinced they needed to roll with Michael Dukakis into the 90s.
Michael Dukakis? Not there's a name I haven't heard in a long time.
Quote:Side note, in AZ Kari Lake is looking like she's going to hand democrats yet another victory so she will be 0-2 and likely claim both were stolen from her. How long can that go on? I guess she can lose the governor race, then the senate, and then go find a safe house seat in some R+75 disctrict and finally win something, though.
Honestly, I have no damn clue who Kari Lake is. So why did I quote this part? Just so I could say she needs to call Ricki. She misses her.
