Postal voting was going to predominate due to covid-19. And the very reason why senior Trump support tried to sabotage the US mail in well publicised and validated reports. When the cat was belled there. Next came all those unfounded/sore loser claims of vote-rigging.
Even though Mr Trump got significant benefit from postal votes and allowed him to win with less than 78,000 crucial votes in the previous Presidential election. With the other candidate winning the popular vote. Perhaps he knows something we don't about postal votes?
I predict that most if not all the claimed legal remedies will fail, And any subsequent recount. And that Mike Pence will go AWOL. So he can't sully his own chances of a run at the highest office.
Leaving Mr Trump no other option to pardon himself? I don't whether or not he will need to nominate what crimes he's pardoning himself for? But if that is the case? Sure to be front and centre in all the headlines/evening news!
I'm not sure, but I think some of those pardonable crimes may be outside his purview? Such as obstruction of justice/witness tampering during his impeachment? In any event, his base will be wide-eyed and wide-mouthed at how easily they were fooled?
And given I'm on the money, may see Mr Trump rushin to leave the country within days of the inauguration, to one with no extradition treaty with the US. Singing as he departs, I want to be a Moscow man, a Moscow man etc? You get the picture.
