Hayes breaks down Trump's 'unnervingly plausible path' to stealing the election

“For the first time in the development of this whole story—it's clear there was an actual, cognizable plan to overturn the election," says Chris Hayes. "An actual strategy to get Donald Trump declared the winner of the election, not just throwing stuff against the wall.”

But as the world's stupidest person, Trump will keep trying this bullshit over and over until some jury or destiny puts a stop to it.

& that a businessman would make a better president than a politician, so that's why he voted for & supports Trump. I asked him, "Why didn't you choose a successful businessman?"

The same people also pushed Dumbya because he was a businessman. Both he and Trump collapsed our economy. I think your cousin may fall under the "Doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.” crowd. Insane. He wants someone to run the government like a business, and he's okay with a guy who has multiple bankruptcies, including a goddamn casino? SMGDH.

He is not stupid. He did get elected President without ever being in elected office. He did a good job at crafting his statements including on the fly. The point isn’t to be defeatist- rather to be serious about the threat.

The MAGAs remind me of those crazy snake handling cults. Sometimes they get bit while dancing with their "own" serpents.
