When she wonders how she lost the race, look at it -- this is the third election cycle in which Arizonans rejected Trumpism. In the final week of her campaign, who did she campaign alongside? She campaigned alongside Steve Bannon, she campaigned alongside one of the chief promoters of 'Pizzagate,' she campaigned alongside an individual who promoted the notion of a war on white people, she campaigned alongside state Sen. Wendy Rogers, who just earlier this year was here in Florida speaking at a white nationalist conference, somebody who frequently spews antisemitism." https://www.rawstory.com/kari-lake-arizona-2658649454/

House committee finds Trump Hotel scoring huge profits from 6 countries 'at sensitive times' for their US relations At the time, the Saudis and U.A.E. were meeting with Jared Kushner about a blockade of Qatar, which is a U.S. ally and that has U.S. bases in its borders with 11,000 U.S. servicemembers. Despite the efforts of Trump and Kushner, the blockade imploded. It was ultimately revealed that Qatar paid Kushner's company $1.2 billion for the 666 Fifth Avenue property. https://www.rawstory.com/trump-hotel-profits-foreign-officials/?traffic_source=Connatix

Study links identity threat among white evangelicals to the belief Trump’s election was part of God’s plan Trump’s invocation of the decline of white Christian America proved effective in activating religious identity threat in a way that led to white evangelicals to coalesce around his candidacy. In this way, Trump’s ability to articulate white evangelicals’ fears about the declining influence of Christianity likely overrode any lingering concerns about his religiosity.” https://nordot.app/965220703642222592?c=592622757532812385

Only one side doesn't trust the elections, the side that doesn't want elections. There is no impetus to arbitrarily reduce the time allowed to count votes. To do so would require automated voting, you can't have it both ways. Not counting all votes because they ran out of time would be a non starter.

CNN are reporting that Russia delayed their retreat from Kherson to help the traitor party. Same collusion which occurred when the Saudis cooperated with Russia to reduce oil production and maintain high inflation.

"actively trying to get enemies of democracy and election deniers through GOP primaries" is willfully misunderstanding what happened. The dems, correctly calculated that underminers of democracy were never going to get to undermine anything and so backed them against actual competition. In other words, they knew that Trump was toxic and so adopted the simple strategy of backing his acolytes.

all inherited He stirred up Palestinian unrest by moving the embassy to Jerusalem and declaring it the capital of Israel. Hardly peaceful. He also set an early date to bail out of Afghanistan instead of leaving it to his successor, probably as booby trap. Furthermore, Trump abandoned the Kurds in Syria, Despicable., Don't know much about it. Were there thousands of pardons of marijuana offences like Biden gave? Nothing to do with US policies. Trump's buddies just torpedoed lower gas prices in a bid to give his party a leg up in the recent election.

It should return to the previous situation where there were more swing voters and the outcomes would be called earlier.

Are you kidding? He had a great presidency! Why do you think he ran in the first place? https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2021/07/19/trumps-business-hauled-in-24-billion-during-four-years-he-served-as-president/?sh=5a12b94610c0

The GOP made no promises other than complaints and threats of retribution. The other party made the promises. If the right made any promises it was to limit assistance to Ukraine.

If it was a good presidency he would still be president.

I'm no expert but I come from cattle country. There will never be an oversupply of beef.

Why do you think Citizens United made it to the Supreme Court?

Dark money aka Citizens United is why Trump got elected.

Ask any Dem if they'd rather stand against DeSantis or Trump in 2024.

Trump lost his own election in AZ and the GOP let him lose the senate in AZ in the mid terms. Dumb and dumber.

Trump trashing McCain and then his daughter in AZ is testament to his intellectual incapacity. He simply did not understand the implications of trashing a national war hero who defended Obama Care because he knew it was the right thing to do given a 50/50 split. He wasn't going to thwart public opinion just because of a party line vote. AZ punished him and his MAGA accolytes. He lived as a hero and died a hero. If I'm not mistaken he essentially got out of his death bed to cast that vote.

I have done, long ago, you tell me what's good about winning with a minority of votes unless you think you can never get a majority.

I know that it isn';t but there are no good reasons. The US has the worst election system in the developed world. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2020-10-07/us-elections-compare-poorly-to-other-democracies-research-shows

Definitely. Yet again, Trump lost the election for the GOP. Nominating crazies and spreading his message of hate all over swing states did a lot of damage. Lake was the most glaring example. The Georgia runoff will be interesting, given that there's a real danger of Manchin defecting to the GOP.

It's fortunate that charisma and ability to give a good speech isn't the main arbiter of who wins elections. We remember a person in the past who was also a good speaker and had charisma. That was unfortunate.

Furthermore, he stood by his own opinion and ignored the pollsters who claimed the dems should have been talking about inflation.

I doubt that he believes he can avoid prosecution but if he doesn't run he can't control the narrative that it's all political.

not to mention that Trump lost the popular vote and that counts as illegitimate in my book. Maybe Biden's too.
