    This from a president who continually tweets LAW AND ORDER. Again, beyond parody.
    I desperately hope a prosecutor out there has an indictment ready to go the day he leaves office (hopefully on November).

    I have real fears about how much he's going to cheat to win this election.

    Some political commentators in the US reckon Trump and his personal lawyer/attorney general are putting the pieces in place to dispute Novembers results and steal another term, even if Biden wins by a landslide. It’s a very real prospect.

    There is absolutely no danger Trump will go quietly.

    I’m going to predict he won’t and he will in that order to your suppositions.

    There are far too many legal protections to stop him stealing anything. He has little or no support in the justiciary now, same for the military and his own party. All before mentioning the power of the people if and when such a thing comes to pass. But basically, in my opinion, he simply doesn’t have the power base to even try.

    And when he sees the size of his defeat he’ll disappear faster than you could imagine possible to hopefully spend the rest of days on a golf course while spending his ill gotten gains fighting a jail term for the multitude of charges that will repeatedly be heading his way....before one finally sticks and he himself end up being the one suffering the ‘lock him up’ chants.

    If he's willing to commute this sentence now, how many pardons will he give to his friends and associates at the end of his term?
    Think that is why a lot of Muellers cases got handed to state prosecutors.

    Will he take the case to the Courts or the SFA?

    I predict a claim for Eight Billion Dollars in damages if he does lose the election, plus the subsequent legal proceedings.

    Maybe he’ll demand that they change the rules so that there can be more presidents for a while? Nobody should have to suffer a disproportionate impact following an election.

    I have a vague recollection of a poster or two on here who had voted for Trump and I think we’re going to vote for him again. I can’t remember their names, but if it was you, do you still plan on voting that way?

    The first 3 years of his presidency went as I expected - badly, but nothing necessarily earth shatteringly bad. But the 6 months or so have been utterly mental and more along the lines of what others probably thought he was going to be like the whole time.

    Trump is a far better president than Joe biden.... the man's cognitively impaired and can barely string a sentence together. One quote from him was "poor kids are just as clever as white kids"
    Or you can watch one of his speeches in delaware where he starts blabbing about a bad dude called cornpop and putting straight razors in water barrels to make them rusty. Then moves on to say something about roaches and loving kids on his lap....it was like 3 different a stories in one..america is a mess

    I haven't seen a lot of Biden since he got the nomination and, in some ways, I wish the Dems had picked a different candidate. However, there is well documented evidence of Trump struggling in the same way as you've suggested Biden has been.

    Trump is not fit for office in more ways than one.

    Is that example really evidence that Trump is a 'far better President' than Biden would be?

    It suggests Biden may be unfit for office. In Trumps case that has already been proven beyond dispute with multiple examples in the last 3 months alone.

    You criticise Biden’s cognitive skills. Your post shows a lack of grammar, lack of capitalisation, lack of time narrative (you can’t say Trump is a far better president than Biden, because Biden has never been president).

    Three different stories in one, I think you might be right. The problem is your three are a bit dodgy to say the least.

    Said it before. will say it again.

    If NYC comes out of the pandemic in a relatively healthy state then there is going to be a lot of pressure on Andrew Cuomo the NY state governor, to be a write-in for the Democratic Convention and stand from the floor. If I was Biden it might be preferable to stand back, take the elder stateman’s role.

    That allows Julian Castro, Kamala Harris or Beto O’Rourke in as relatively young VPs who can also carry key states and key demographics. Crude, but that is politics, or rather, that is elections.

    No offence but your post is a jumbled up mess. If you are going to criticise someone’s cognitive impairment at least made an effort to make a lucid argument in relation to it. Your contribution is a disaster area.

    I can just as easily instantly source at least 20 briefings/interviews with Trump over the last 3 months alone, when he jumps from story to story, lie, to lie, contradiction to contradiction. Undeniable evidence of a cognitive impairment.

    What worries me, is a lot of American citizen's agree with your view, which is of course, their right.

    Trump is not fit for the position of POTUS and the world is a far more dangerous place while he remains in the job.

    Echo the other OP who would like to see the New York Governor as the Democrat candidate for POTUS.

    Biden would be a marginally better president than Trump.

    What is infuriating is he has flatly refused each and any compromise request from former Sanders voters (universal health care, free tuition) and expects them to vote for him anyway. If I was American, I would seriously think about voting third party.

    I think there is zero chance of this. For starters, whilst Biden is far from perfect, all his dirty laundry is (presumably) out in public already given his prior VP role and the extensive vetting of candidates this time round. The American public knows what it's getting - good and bad.

    The perception in some quarters is that Cuomo has done well on a single incident (not even a single issue) but his name recognition isn't close to Biden or Trump. The Democrats would effectively be starting from scratch policy-wise with a candidate who hasn't been vetted at this level.

    Biden holds a comfortable poll lead over Trump. As long as that holds, there's too much to lose and too little to gain for the Democrats to do anything other than a coronation at their convention. I also think there isn't a chance of the party machine - including donors and interest groups - allowing Biden to step aside now even if he wanted to...which he won't.

    Not how triangulation works. He has to take potential Trump voters, the farther to the left will vote for him anyway - because Trump.

    Anyway, Biden is romping this atm. Not just in the national polls, in the battleground states as well. Even normally GOP strongholds like Texas are in play. It would be a historically unmatched turnaround for Trump to win from here.

    Why would they do that now with Biden miles ahead?
