The 2020 Presidential race

[Rewind]

Donald Trump has complained for months about "voter fraud." He has never presented any evidence. We know by his past actions, Attorney General William Barr has chosen to serve Donald Trump and not the American people – and Barr knows that if he does not agree with Trump, he will be fired. Thus.......

Just as he did in 2016, Trump is explaining his loss in the popular vote by insisting there is widespread "voter fraud." He of course offers no evidence. Attorney General William Barr, hoping to keep his job for the next ten weeks, is staying on Trump's good side by making the same false claims. The backlash has begun.

Is deranged, delusional, demented, dangerous dictator Donald Trump crazy enough to blow up the White House rather than led Joe Biden move in? I would like to think he is not – but at this point, he is capable of anything.

Analysis: Alarm grows over Trump's 'dictator moves' as he denies election defeat
CNN, Nov 11 2020 12:39 AM ET

President Donald Trump's administration is taking on the characteristics of a tottering regime – with its loyalty tests, destabilizing attacks on the military chain of command, a deepening bunker mentality and increasingly delusional claims of political victory. In response, a visibly confident President-elect Joe Biden is going out of his way to project calm amid the deepening chaos, even as Trump and senior Republicans still refuse to acknowledge the President's defeat in a stunning break with America's democratic traditions.

Biden is taking calls with leaders of the country's top allies, which reflects the inevitability of his ascent to power. While the President is staying behind closed doors, tweeting in wild block capital letters and unleashing a purge of the Pentagon's civilian leadership, Biden is reassuring the American people with a composure granted by an election win that Trump's threadbare legal cases baselessly alleging massive voter fraud have little chance of overturning the will of the voters.

Trump has filed another lawsuit. With 99% of the ballots counted in Michigan, Trump is losing by 148,645 votes and he doesn't want the state to certify its election results. I'm assuming he has no objections to certification in states that he won. Give it up, Donald. You lost! You will not have a second term!

"COVID-19? Racial injustice? Unemployment? Trade wars? Look, I don't have time to be concerned with those things now, okay? I have to devote all my time and energy to challenging the election results. Well – that and playing golf once in a while."

The Cabinet includes the Vice President and the heads of the Department of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health & Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing & Urban Development, Interior, Justice, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury and Veterans Affairs. Biden's Cabinet nominees will need to be confirmed by the Senate, which right now is controlled by Republicans.

Biden names Ron Klain as his White House chief of staff
CNN, Nov 11 2020 8:36 PM ET

President-elect Joe Biden has tapped Ron Klain to be his incoming chief of staff, the Biden transition office said in a news release today, elevating his longtime aide to one of the most powerful positions in the White House. Klain is one of Biden's most trusted campaign advisers and was long seen as the most likely pick for the top job. He previously served as chief of staff to Vice President Al Gore during the Clinton administration and Biden during his tenure as President Barack Obama's vice president.

Another red state has turned blue. Biden now has 290 electoral votes. The races in Georgia (16 electoral votes) and North Carolina (15 electoral votes) still have not been called – but it appears Biden will wind up with 306 electoral votes and Trump will have 232. Delusional Donald will, of course, continue to insist he won the election.

Biden has 306 electoral votes. That is the same number Trump got in 2016.

Today Trump said the election was rigged. This is the same thing he said about the 2016 election. There is nothing rigged about it. People voted, the votes were counted and he lost.
