The Donald Trump Score Card

Must be a damn big corner...

 

Secretary of Defense Esper appears to be on his way out.

2020 Election Live Updates: New results show razor-thin race for the White House

excerpt:

"The race now centers on Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania and North Carolina, following projections on Wednesday that Biden will win Michigan and Wisconsin. Biden holds slim leads in Nevada and Arizona, both of which are still considered likely Democratic states in CBS News' estimation.

Biden expanded his lead in Nevada in new results from mostly Democratic counties, with his margin more than doubling since Wednesday. He has also cut into the president's lead in Georgia, trailing by less than 13,000 votes with about 47,000 remaining to be counted.

Mr. Trump's standing improved in Arizona after more ballots were reporting early Thursday morning, although he trails Biden by roughly 69,000 votes and faces a steep uphill climb. Arizona officials won't report more results from populous Maricopa County until later in the evening."

 

Trump tries to stop tallying of mail-in ballots in the Las Vegas area.


No quick decision on Vegas-area mail ballot appeal in Nevada

excerpt:

"Clark County, including Las Vegas, is more than 31% Hispanic, 13% Black and about 10% Asian American, according to the U.S. Census. Democrats make up 40.6% of registered active voters in the county, and Republicans account for 28.6%.

Nevada has 1.8 million active registered voters. State election officials reported that by mid-afternoon Tuesday, more than 1.2 million ballots had been cast statewide. Nearly half of all votes, 49%, were received by mail."

 

"get rid of the ballots"~ Donald J. Trump

 

that’s too bad. Jim Jordan might be more like able if he took a couple of hits.

I just heard a report, on our local NPR station, that trump is very popular among American born Hispanic men under the age of forty.

 

Contest it is almost certain, but it's possible the courts might have some integrity left. Regardless of the outcome, he's a loser, and so are his cult followers.

 

Macho complex. Can't tell a he man from a bully!

 

I agree, machismo.

 

Just saw trump’s news conference. The dude had nothing. I was waiting for him to say he won California, and New York. He is definitely mentally ill.

 

President Trump, upset by mail-in ballots not in his favor, tries to sow doubt on them

excerpt:

"To be clear, Trump still has a narrow path to the presidency, but that path is becoming more narrow by the hour. As Trump spoke, 17,000 votes in Savannah, Georgia, were tabulated cutting Trump’s lead in the state by 6,000. Trump now leads the state by 3,500 votes with 19,000 votes left. Biden has been winning mail-in votes in Georgia by nearly a 2-to-1 margin, which would be enough to give Biden a narrow win in the state.

Conversely, Trump won over 62% of the Election Day vote in Georgia. Because those ballots were first to be reported, Trump racked up a sizable lead in Georgia.

A similar situation in Pennsylvania took place. In Pennsylvania, Trump won the Election Day vote by a 2-to-1 margin, but trailed the mail-in vote by a 3-to-1 margin."

Arizona protesters descend on ballot processing center as vote counting continues

excerpt:

"Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden leads President Trump by about 67,000 votes in Arizona, and CBS News estimates the race as a likely win for the former vice president. But as workers continue counting votes, Arizona supporters of the president who are angry over the delay are demanding to see the ballot count to its finish.

"We are not trying to break in! We just want to watch you count the ballots!" an unidentified protester shouted into a bullhorn.

Protesters, many armed, gathered outside the Maricopa County ballot processing center in Phoenix on Wednesday. They shouted that the election was being stolen, booed officials and blocked the exit. Police in riot gear were called in to walk employees to their cars.

"They are trying to steal this from us," Nicole Galinda, a protester, told CBS News."

 

MSNBC, NPR and NBC and cut away from Trump's election press conference

excerpt:

"Several news networks cut off President Donald Trump on Thursday evening during a press conference regarding the election. MSNBC, NPR, CBS, and NBC did not let Trump finish his statement, which was laced with false claims regarding the election. These were his first remarks since his early morning post-Election Day speech on Wednesday, when he made misleading statements about the progress of vote counting."

 

If one can't win by cheating, claim the other guy is cheating...

 

News organizations cutting away from the President's address was very rude ... seemingly desperate . News is the snooze .

 

Yeah... Trump is desperate.

 

The U.S. incurred another rough day of rounding the corner with 1,125 coronavirus deaths on Thursday.

 

Expected remark by Trump to poll workers about his protesters: "They're good people. Make a deal with them."

 

Republicans criticize Trump for his outlandish election statements.



'This is getting insane': Republicans push back against Trump's false election claims

excerpt:

"Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., who has also times has been a sharp Trump critic, also offered a strong rebuke.

"We want every vote counted, yes every legal vote (of course). But, if you have legit concerns about fraud present EVIDENCE and take it to court. STOP Spreading debunked misinformation," he wrote. "This is getting insane."

Gov. Larry Hogan, R-Md., was one of the few to mention who he was talking about. "There is no defense for the President’s comments tonight undermining our Democratic process. America is counting the votes, and we must respect the results as we always have before. No election or person is more important than our Democracy," he tweeted.

Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, a vocal Trump critic and the Republican presidential nominee in 2012, also called for patience in a statement he tweeted from his personal Twitter account.

"Counting every vote is at the heart of democracy. That process is often long and, for those running, frustrating. The votes will be counted," Romney wrote, and if there are any "irregularities alleged, they will be investigated and ultimately resolved in court. Have faith in democracy, in our Constitution, and in the American people.""
