After he won the New Hampshire Republican primary Tuesday night, former President Donald Trump complained about his main GOP rival, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, about immigration, inflation, and his likely opponent in November, President Joe Biden.
One thing he didn’t complain about: Voter fraud in the election he had just won.
That continues a pattern for Trump as he steamrolls through the GOP presidential primary and toward an increasingly likely November rematch with Biden. While Trump generally refrains from claiming voter fraud in elections he wins, he spends plenty of time laying the groundwork to cry fraud should he lose an upcoming vote. He’s already been doing that with an eye toward November’s general election.
“They used COVID to cheat. And they did a lot of other things, too. We’re not going to let that happen,” Trump said of Democrats in his Tuesday night speech to supporters in New Hampshire. “You can never forget history, because if you forget, you never, you never recover from it. And you repeat.”
What, the guy who complained about fraud in every election, even the one he won, would do it again?
Who cares, he’s not going to be president. The GOP should start focusing on 2028 and trying to find an actual presidential candidate somewhere in their basket of losers.
Only if we vote and mobilize others to do the same. He hasn’t lost until the election is over.
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch
I know you’re right, but I also know the media is going to be pushing the ‘Trump might win!’ storyline nonstop until November. Rather than just report on, you know, all of his crimes and attempt to overthrow the United States, they’ll take the lazy way out and just keep repeating the same story maniacally for months.
Agreed. Complacency will kill everything positive about the country and, while Canadians love to poke fun at half of the presidents, it’s a little serious this time around.
Don’t make us burn it down again. :-D
The tiny bit of shit-talking he did about fraud before he won in 2016 was only done just like this shit-talking right here is being done - to lay the groundwork for a full-on denial of the elction if he loses. Not because he believes there’s any fraud, not for any other goddamn reason other than to lay the groundwork to raise holy dumb dogshit when he loses.
He doesn’t give a flying fuck about fraud if he wins and anyone who implies anything different is badly mistaken.
