I can't believe the people that still think something is going to overturn the results. It's over, the fat lady has sung, time to move on. The same people that think Trump still have some kind of hail Mary at this are the same ones that refuse to wear a mask in public. As far as your popular vote idea, I'm not all that keen on having NY and California calling the shots all the time.

Sitting in my moderate middle of the road chair it seems my liberal friends should be happy with Trumps childish behavior.
It increases the chance of winning the Senate if enough Georgia moderates who could roll either way decide to punish Trump and the republicans.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 52% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-seven percent (47%) disapprove.

The latest figures include 41% who Strongly Approve of the job Trump is doing and 41% who Strongly Disapprove
His approval rating is higher now that it was just prior to the election. Maybe there are a whole bunch of people that think the election was fishy too?
Or that poll fluctuates by 5-10 points every few days for seemingly no real reason.

Keep it up and you'll start believing it yourself.

Trump himself even hinted that a new administration was a possibility during the afternoon Covid update.

Right....his words were, "Whoever that may be."

Fuck him. Don't let the door hit you on your way out, Donnie.

Before immediately correcting himself. He pretty obviously realized he goofed before he really blew it and said Biden.

His exact quote...
Ideally, we won’t go to a lockdown. I will not go — this administration will not be going to a lockdown. Hopefully, the — the — whatever happens in the future — who knows which administration it will be? I guess time will tell. But I can tell you, this administration will not go to a lockdown. There won’t be necessity. Lockdowns cost lives, and they cost a lot of problems.
I don't see an immediate correction in that statement.

When you watch it on video that the — the— hesitation appeared to be him stopping himself from saying Biden Administration... I’m trying to let you know what’s on video and the tone and body language is important... you are responding with a transcript where neither is available.

I watched the video. The transcript is accurate and there was no tone or body language, you're looking for a boogie man where there isn't one.

Interesting coming from a Biden supporter - he has trouble saying anything without hesitation.

Whitmer is a dictator. Supreme court even agreed multiple times we rule by law, not hysteria.

What does that have to do with whether Trump almost said Biden in a soeech?
