The Donald Trump Score Card

Nevada to resume tallying of ballots on Thursday.


Nevada stops counting votes until Thursday

 

Trump is capricious to an extreme.


Republican allies break with Trump, say take time to count all the votes

excerpt:

""There's just no basis to make that argument tonight," former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said on ABC News. "There just isn't. All these votes have to be counted that are in now."

Christie is a Trump ally who spent seven days in the intensive care unit after catching the coronavirus, potentially from the president, while helping him prepare for the first debate with Biden.

"You have to let the process play itself out before you judge it to be flawed. And by prematurely doing this, if there is a flaw later, he has undercut his own credibility," Christie continued. "So I think it's a bad strategic decision, it's a bad political decision, and it's not the kind of decision you would expect someone to make tonight who holds the position he holds."

Trump's campaign amplified their boss's erroneous claims in public statements and threats of lawsuits, which Biden's team dismissed as meritless, insisting even the conservative-leaning Supreme Court would not give them any consideration."

 

I think Biden is now up to 253 electors to Trump's 214. Uncounted ballots tend to be mail-ins, and they tend to be Democrat.

 

U.S. sets record high 7-day average of 86,352 daily new coronavirus cases.



US sets record for cases amid election battle over virus

excerpt:

"Cases and hospitalizations are setting records all around the country just as the holidays and winter approach, demonstrating the challenge that either President Donald Trump or former Vice President Joe Biden will face in the coming months.

Daily new confirmed coronavirus cases in the U.S. have surged 45% over the past two weeks, to a record 7-day average of 86,352, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. Deaths are also on the rise, up 15 percent to an average of 846 deaths every day.

The total U.S. death toll is already more than 232,000, and total confirmed U.S. cases have surpassed 9 million. Those are the highest totals in the world, and new infections are increasing in nearly every state."

 

1211 people died of the coronavirus in the U.S. on Wednesday.

Wisconsin had 5,939 new coronavirus cases and 1,714 hospitalizations on November 4.

 

Giuliani again.

He now has an opportunity to concoct a truther narrative that melds his 2020 election fraud claims with disinformation he obtained from Russian agents about Biden in Ukraine and tell it to a judge in the hopes of overturning states that Biden won in the election.

 

Count-the-vote demonstrations arise across the country.

Election 2020 protests: Arrests in Minneapolis; NYC, Chicago marches

excerpt:

"Demonstrations and marches - largely peaceful - were underway in cities such as Philadelphia, Detroit and Chicago. But at times, emotions ran high and chaos erupted in Michigan, a key state in the race.

More than 100 events are planned nationwide between Wednesday and Saturday, organized by local partners of Protect the Results, a coalition of more than 165 grassroots organizations, advocacy groups and labor unions. The group, led by activist groups Indivisible and Stand Up America, has decided not to hold hundreds more events that were initially planned.

Organizers at ShutDownDC plan for more aggressive actions as the week goes on depending on the outcome – whether President Donald Trump wins or whether he tries to question the results.

"We knew this would happen," the advocacy group said in a tweet calling for a rally Wednesday with the hashtags #DeliverDemocracy and #CountEveryVote."

 

Trump supporters storming the ramparts of Chapultepec (i.e. a ballot processing center in Detroit) demanding they stop counting votes,
because if they continue Joe Biden will win the state...lol...

 

International reaction to the 2020 U.S. election.

The U.S. formally exited the Paris Agreement on November 4, 2020.


U.S. Officially Leaving Paris Climate Agreement

excerpt:

"The United States will formally leave the Paris Agreement on Wednesday, no matter who wins the election. Of the nearly 200 nations that signed the agreement, the U.S. is the only one to walk away from its promises to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

President Trump originally announced his intention to withdraw from the landmark agreement in 2017 and formally notified the United Nations last year. A mandatory yearlong waiting period ends on Wednesday, a coincidence that nonetheless highlights the Trump administration's commitment to derailing efforts that address climate change."

 

Expected Trump remark about 'stop the vote' protesters harassing ballot counting officials in MI and elsewhere: "They're good people. Make a deal with them."

 

It turned out that Trump received a near optimal scenario for himself for the situation of a loss to Biden, where currently Trump appears to be heading.

 

The state of Georgia is interesting in that Trump has a 27,000 vote lead with a little over 90,000 ballots still to count, but in heavily Democratic Fulton County (Biden Country)

Biden has a very good chance of pulling this out, but it’s still gonna be close.

 

Trump Orders Advisers to ‘Go Down Fighting’
Seeing his chances of reelection slipping away, the president wants his armada of lawyers to give Democrats a court fight that ‘they’ll never forget’

excerpt:

"In Detroit, pro-Trump protests showed up at a ballot counting site demanding access to the officials and insisting that the counting be ended. In Arizona, one of Trump’s closest congressional allies, Rep. Paul Gosar, put out a “call to action” for “red blooded American patriots” to attend a rally to “protect our president” at the Maricopa County election center. In Nevada, a Trump supporter interrupted a registrar of voters press conference by declaring “the Biden crime family steals this election.” And throughout the day, the Trump campaign peppered donors and supporters with text messages and emails asking for money to help fund—what it erroneously called—an attempt by Democrats to “steal” the election.

“They came down the escalator and came in and started banging on the door, ‘stop the count, stop the count.’ This was a clearly coordinated effort by people wearing official GOP credentials to stop the counting of absentee votes in the city of Detroit,” Jordan Acker, a volunteer poll challenger for the Michigan Democratic Party and an attorney, told The Daily Beast of the Detroit protest. “It was a totally coordinated effort to stop Detroiters from having their voices heard.”"

 

Trump defiant as Biden appears to close in on victory | First Thing election special

excerpt:

"Biden is now projected to win Wisconsin and Michigan by a wider margin than Trump did in 2016; to beat him, Trump would have to win all four of the states still to be called: Nevada, North Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania, where the counting is expected to continue at least until Friday. Of the four, only North Carolina looks like a safe bet for the president.

However, Biden’s lead is narrowing in Arizona, where Democratic celebrations of a rare victory may yet prove to have been premature. In Phoenix, pro-Trump protesters descended on an elections centre during the count, some of them carrying guns, others with signs alleging voter fraud."

 

Trump's supporters shouldn't be chanting 'stop the count' in AZ. Trump could regain AZ.


Trump gets share of votes he would need to reclaim Arizona

excerpt:

"As Maricopa County released the results from 140,000 more ballots on Wednesday night and Thursday morning, President Donald Trump received almost the exact share he would need to charge back to win Arizona's 11 electoral votes and potentially reelection.

Trump won the batches of ballots from Maricopa County counted Wednesday and early Thursday by a roughly 57-40 margin over former Vice President Joe Biden.

Those votes — likely early ballots sent to the county on Monday and Tuesday — narrowed Biden's lead over Trump in Arizona to 68,000 votes, when his lead had been more than 90,000 votes earlier Wednesday.

Paul Bentz, a Republican pollster with the consulting firm HighGround, said Trump needs to win 57.6% of the 470,000 votes that The Arizona Republic estimates remain to be counted.

"That's almost exactly what he got in the first batch," Bentz said. "He could do it."

But the problem for Trump is that he needs to replicate that performance across all of the remaining 470,000 votes left to count in the state. And he needs to do it across all Arizona's 15 diverse counties, which include areas that are very blue: Pima, Coconino and Santa Cruz counties."

Shouldn't these people be locked up for interfering with an election?

 

They should be reminded of what Pam Bondi had done in prior elections.
