  Before diving into a very scary election story, let’s look at the debates coming up. Biden needs to take control of Trump and the debate from the beginning. In his introduction, he needs to tell the viewers that Trump will lie, deflect, avoid the truth, distract, anger, interrupt, bully, and attempt to manipulate the debate. Biden needs to not look at him and not engage in any argument with Donald. Not once, if possible. He needs to label any lie, etc as what it is by using a coded example that everyone knows about. In this great article about this very subject, (read it here), the author says for Biden to use an example of Trump lying about how big Trump Tower is. Use that example as the signal to the audience that Trump has lied, again. An example Biden could share with the audience was written in the article. Trump said that Trump Tower was 90 floors when in fact, it was 70 floors. He also claimed that he lived on the 66, 67, and 68 floors in total, when in fact, he lived only on the 66th floor. Trump lied and exaggerated to make the building sound bigger than it actually was and that he lived in this massive luxury apartment bigger than any other apartment in the building. Trump Tower is only 58 floors. Peter Wehner recommended that Trump use the actually floor number that Trump lives on as the signal to the audience by saying to Trump, “Donald. We’re at the 66 floor, again.” Biden needs to get under Trump’s skin and prove that he can Rope The Dope, as Mohammed Ali would do in the ring.

   Trump has declared himself a fascist. ‘I am a fascist!’ “I will not accept a peaceful transition of power.” Trump realizes that the election might bring a new president to the White House and he won’t have any of it. He wants a new Supreme Court justice now in order to make sure that his choice will align with him if the election is contested. 

   In the Atlantic magazine, The Election That Could Break America, by Barton Gellman, and in this interview (see here), he said, writing the article “scared me”. Trump is likely gathering his foot soldiers to push key state Republi-Q-canon Party majority state legislators to abandon their Electoral College delegate choices in favor of these legislators picking their own choices as delegates, which would likely favor Trump. This is legal. 

   Gellman said we have no guaranteed failsafe process if our traditional procedures to make sure our election ballots are all fully counted without interference. At that point, Trump might decide to declare himself the winner.

   We could have an “Election Meltdown” (Book by the same name written by Richard L. Hasen). He said this is worse than Bush v. Gore.

   Trump is preparing us for a rejection of the outcome if he loses. “If Trump sheds all restraints, and if his Republican allies play the parts he assigns them, he could obstruct the emergence of a legally ambiguous victory for Biden in the Electoral College and then in Congress.” He could prevent the formation of consensus about whether there is any outcome at all. He could seize on that uncertainty to hold on to power.” Trump’s forces are setting up post election strategies in battleground states. There is uncertainty in the Constitution and within the Electoral College Act, which would cause great confusion in the vote count process. Julian Zelizer says we are not prepared for two men to arrive on Inauguration Day to be sworn in! The transfer of power mechanism is clearly fragile. 

   On December 14, the Electoral College electors meet to cast their ballots for president, but what happens when Trump sabotages this process by instituting his own formula in the key battleground states controlled by Republi-Q-canon state legislators who abandon the traditional process of casting delegate counts to assemble their own delegates to throw their lots with Trump. Lawrence Douglas asks, “Will He Go?” (Book of the same name.)

   “Donald Trump may win or lose, but he will never concede. Not under any circumstances.” He will always complain, if he must vacate, that the election was rigged. Of course, he would have a first grade style temper tantrum.

   Trump has the ability to manipulate the Biden votes. He doesn’t want anyone to vote if they are not on his side, especially Black people, low income people, and young progressive people. 

   Justin Clark, a Trump Brownshirt in the current campaign, said in Wisconsin, “Traditionally it’s always been Republicans suppressing the votes…” Republicans have used officers-armed off duty police-as a “National Ballot Security Force” to intimidate and challenge, as well as, frighten voters in the past.

   In this election cycle, they have hired 50,000 volunteers to monitor, challenge, and intimidate voters in 15 states.They’re going to use sheriffs and law enforcement to work on Trump’s behalf to keep a watchful eye on polling locations, according to Clark.

   The RNC, Clark and Trump’s allies are using the fake news of voter fraud and voter abuse as an excuse to use their Gestapo-style techniques.

   Also, involved is Louie-Louie DeJoy, the Postal Gestapo. The allies of Herr Trump have repeated the mantra, ‘An honest vote count is no longer possible.’

   “We are accustomed to choosing electors by popular vote, but nothing in the Constitution says it has to be that way. Article II provides that each state shall appoint electors…” “…the Trump campaign is discussing contingency plans to bypass election results and appoint loyal electors in battleground states where Republi-Q-canons hold the legislative majority.

   By claiming rampant fraud, Trump could move forward with his plan. By causing chaos and doubt in the legitimacy of the vote count, he could justify to his allies that his plan must go forward for these  legislators to exercise their constitutional powers to pick their own electors. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida and North Carolina are in Trump’s crosshairs. If just only one state’s  popular vote electors are cancelled and switched to chosen electors by the Republi-Q-canon state legislators, then the fight will begin. All it takes is just one state to topple the House of Cards.

   The Electoral Count Act could ultimately end up disqualifying the state’s slate of electorates, if it came to that through a very muddy process. Yet, if during that process, Pelosi steps in and asserts her authority, she could ultimately end up becoming acting president.

   Everything continues to Inauguration Day, which could end up in turmoil and up for grabs. What could even happen is the threat of a military force stepping in. Or, Trump may declare martial law. If it comes to this, then our democracy is in chains (to quote Nancy MacLean).

When you have clowns running the show, you end up with a circus in chaos.
