Trump-I would have beaten a Washington/Lincoln ticket

[packman]

“I remember a very famous pollster, very well known, John McLaughlin, came to my office just prior to the plague coming and he said, ‘Sir, if George Washington and Abraham Lincoln came alive from the dead and they formed a president-vice president team, you would beat them by 40 percent.’ That’s how good our numbers were.”

Guy's too humble - should have gone with The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost trio

1. Always with the "Sir, blah blah blah..."

I suppose John McLaughlin had tears in his eyes, too, when he said that.

2. But shuckie darn, couldn't beat Biden.

His alleged quote started with “sir,” a sure tell that the conversation existed only in his demented mind.

5. For real!

[dchill]

3. Sure. But what about a Tom Brady/Brett Favre ticket?

Beat THAT!

[Johnny2X2X]

4. LOL

He lost the popular vote by 3 million votes the first time, and 7 million the 2nd time.

6. His entire defense, on SO MANY legal problems he's facing amounts to

"I honestly thought I'd won and been cheated out of my victory by nefarious forces/theft".

He basically HAS to maintain this facade for legal reasons, it's going to be his defense if he's ever actually hauled into court.

Plus it keeps the MAGAt's happy and faithful ... they've invested a lot emotionally in their belief the election was stolen, and they are ultimately the source of any power he has. He has no choice but appease them.

Guess this is all kinda stating the obvious though ...

8. Sure, but it's also his main grift

Chump has made so much dough off the Big Lie that he'll never give it up. Never.

9. Fair point, there's also that (nt)

[Red Pest]

7. Of course TFG could beat the reanimated Washington/Lincoln ghoul ticket because...

The 22nd Amendment states:

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice...

So the Washington/Lincoln ticket would be disqualified. Perhaps the great Orange Pustule will be disqualified by the 14th Amendment Section 3.

10. I wonder how much money he will make on this particular lie?

Wish we could see fundraising results per specific lie.

[Bleacher Creature]

11. Do they make gold-colored straitjackets?

12. John McLaughlin died in August 2016...

three years "prior to the plague"...

15. It's a different JMcL.

18. So another ass-kissing toady...

good to know…

[Boomerproud]

13. He forgot the pollster genuflecting when he said Sir.

He is delusional. I also hear that Mike Huckabee wrote a children's book about him. Hawking it on Faux of course. Please give me strength.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

14. Sniffing his own farts again

[JustAnotherGen]

16. He's deranged

[UTUSN]

17. & yet the next time he gives "advice" about "peace" it will be covered like "wisdom".

19. Maybe, no women, AA or native Americans voting then, white male supremacists only.
