Reasons:

* As you say, it makes removing Trump easier

But most of all:

* It makes fighting the spendthrift Biden budget all the much harder.

His Corporate Welfare masters don't want government spending cut, because that means government contracts get cut.

Everyone got their share. We just got $2M over the last 2 years from the Feds. Nothing is getting passed until there's a new POTUS. Lame duck Congress and just a bunch of BS committee meetings.

R's will win POTUS and both the House and Congress. Trump needs to put up or shut up in the first 2 years and so does Congress. No chance Biden wins. Even my heavy left leaning mother sees what's coming. She's not happy with Biden and she's a wealthy widow that is the target of Dems. She hates Trump so won't get her vote, but she not happy with Biden. This will mess with down ballot races. Biden is a massive liability.

The only thing holding Trump back is X. He needs to post there. I don't know anyone on Truth Social. Musk is an odd ball that he gets massive government contracts and tax credits for his cars, but seems to have been Red Pilled. I think this is an impossible election to steal. We're going to see what 2020 really should have been. I think this is a landslide and I hate making predictions. Usually just fine with opinions.

I sure hope you are right.

Shit, wrong clip. I will find the right one again at some point.

FIXED.

The election itself on the day won't be stolen. I do worry they try to jail Trump. But that only means Biden will lose the House and Senate and be a lame duck and nothing gets done. It's a lose lose for the Dems. Biden has to debate. Trump will trash him. That's the most solid prediction I'll make. Of course it will get spun.

The Dems are pretty fucked. They losing young people, blacks and hispanics. The border thing will be the main theme. I wouldn't know, but wouldn't be shocked if Republicans got a verified illegal to injure someone prominent within the Dem party. Again, not a prediction, just this game has gotten very dirty. Wouldn't be a Senator, but maybe a House Rep. High population swing state. Michigan comes to mind.

Now that Trump basically has complete control of the GOP, New York and Chicago style mafia type shit might happen. It's not about ballots anymore. Trump has had 3-1/2 years to plan this. I'm far enough away, but I'm going to have to deal with this shit for the DNC in Chicago. It's already fucked with my life. Wife's national conference where she's a major player was moved from Chicago. There will be shenanigans at the convention in Chicago.

I have a hard time not seeing a clean sweep. If Biden doesn't debate all his down ballot Dems are toast. That's a lack of confidence. I for sure would be afraid to be a Dem House Rep currently. We'll see. I'm not sure what senator are running.

Either way this is a huuuuuuuuge election. If Trump wins and R's get the House and Senate, Clarence Thomas goes into the sunset and Trump choose a right leaning SCOTUS judge solidify the court for probably 20-30 years. This one is a biggie and the Dems are running a senile old man. Shits gonna go down. I don't think it will be election day.

The question is will we even have an election. In the next 8 months anything could happen. If the powers that be need a crisis to get their way, 2020 proved they will do whatever they want including lockdowns of healthy innocent men women and children until they obey and support the narrative.

And one more thing, the Democrats are already planning to run on the “right to kill unborn babies” under the guise of “reproductive health” and women’s rights. The Alabama legislation gave their narrative wings. Even with a senile criminal at the top of the ticket, the Dems have energy behind their baby killing movement, which is perhaps stronger than ever and certainly more open than ever in their zeal to murder the unborn.

Correct. Even when Trump wins, Dems will win down ballot votes because woman will vote Dem on the single issue of abortion.

The only thing holding Trump back is X.

House just pased a bill that gives the executive branch the power to shut down any app or website engaging in 'election interference' - w/o defining what that is.

It will be used on X. It would be used on PatNet if it were a bigger fish worth frying.

WookieMan says

R's will win POTUS and both the House and Congress.

I'll take you up on that bet. They cheated before, you can bet they'll cheat again.

Our government has been so criminal for so fucking long, and is so obviously criminal now, they can't stop.

This will just create more competition. The Internet wasn't designed and wasn't intended to be a few companies, it's a point to point direct communication system where anybody can make a site like this. NAT routers fucked that up because now your computer is (be default) behind a firewall, so you can't run a website at your home, but you're perfectly capable of doing that, now - you just have to setup your router.

I'm working on a system where you can do exactly what I described - buy a box, plug it into your router and power strip, and forget it, it's done.

. I do worry they try to jail Trump

Why? You should worry about them killing him.

Yes, yes. They want to avoid martyring him. Key word here is AVOID. But if forced to, they will.

They WILL NOT LET him back into the WH. Period.

Hope I am wrong but I don't think so.

On what basis?

The suburban moms are going to be out in droves over abortion. That really riles them up.

Suburban Moms dollars are only going about 20% as far as they were under Donald Trump. That riles them up even more.
I can't tell you the last time I got a groan from a Normie Democrat voter(one that only votes Democrat because that's what his voter reg card says) when discussing Donald Trump in any way. Those same people don't get all giddy and hopeful when new witch hunts are announced into Trump, they don't get upset when those cases are thrown out or dropped. A lot has changed with them. The blindly defending Democrats and their policy, has also changed. They are willing that their dollars don't go anywhere near as far as they did before Biden. They also are willing to blame Democrats and Biden equally. They don't think this is just a Biden problem.
I think that is the folly of Democrats pushing an incompetent front man to do all of the dirty work. People know Biden isn't competent to be pulling the strings alone. They know none of the bad policy affecting them directly is Biden's doing, and it lies squarely on the Democrats behind the scene.

I think had the 2020 election not been stolen, ,the MSM's narrative on how unpopular Trump was compared to Biden has been smashed.
Biden had no enthusiasm in 2020, I think that killed a lot of the brainwashed willful blindly following Democrats by them putting him up.
If that's the best the Democrats has to offer, they don't want to see the worse.

In Rural Illinois and most parts of Florida it appears that Trump can’t lose. But drive into most metropolitan areas (the ones that count the most votes) and up you will find never Trumpers on both sides of the aisle. They are poised and ready to do whatever it takes to stop the will of the voters in electing him for the third time. What has changed from last election? Will there be less fraudulent ballots counted this time?

Biden can't win. I usually hang with 30-50 year old people. Most likely to vote. My mom at 70 is the only Biden voter that has actively talked about voting for him. And they're dying in droves at this point. He'll lose probably 500k-1M votes due to death before the election. The question is will they still get mailed in? If the RNC is not on this like flies on shit this time around then I'd just give up, get acreage, guns, food, water, guns (oh I already said that) and get the fuck out of dodge.

Blacks and legal immigrants in Chicago are pissed off. Purple counties that have 1M population here are having illegals dumped in them. Momma's care about their babies if they had them and they will likely be Trump supporters.

I have only a few Jewish friends and no Palestinian friends. So not sure how that moves the votes. The LGTBQ or whatever community basically has gotten its "rights" so that's not an issue. No one actually cares about Ukrainians or Russians. Pick a side. R's and D's are on both.

This comes down to the man himself and the backup plan.... Kamala. Trump needs to pick well and pick soon for VP. He has the delegates already. Use whatever person that is as a tool for now and the future. Don't pull a McCain with that Alaska bitch. Vivek would be great. Rand Paul would be a slam dunk ticket win. He was anti vax and anti lock down and one of the first Senators to get Covid. He's already tried to run for POTUS. He's youngish and not a war hawk. Neither is Trump. They align pretty well and Paul isn't an attention whore for the most part. He's not liked by RINO's.

It’s possible to both overestimate the anti Biden/pro Trump sentiment and underestimate the fraudulent votes that were counted last time and are perhaps even more likely to be counted this time when the never Trumpers will need to go to great lengths to suppress the will of the people.

When someone quits (or dies, etc) doesn't the state governor appoint someone else (usually required to be from the same political party) to fill their spot?
I would expect the CO governor to appoint another RINO to take their place.

Not this close to the election.

I'm overly optimistic it's Trump winning. You don't get fooled twice and he now has control of the RNC. We're sitting in our lawn chairs waiting for the firework show to even start. We got a long way to the grand finale.

X factor is if they don't debate in my opinion. That has to happen to seal the deal for Trump. There's so much wrong with Biden that it cannot be ignored and he will get demolished. Even as a non-politician, Trump for most his life, public speaking is all he does. Biden can go quiet once elected and has in the past.
