    Two months out and it's clear as day as to what's going to happen on election night. Given the polling is showing Biden voters are twice as likely to cast absentee (write-in) votes over Trump voters and most states don't release absentee vote results until after the polls close, Trump will prematurely declare victory only to actually lose the election once all the absentee votes are counted.

    Given this scenario, will Trump and his base admit defeat? Or will they contest the results and suppress the votes of millions of Americans?

    One sure way to prevent trouble is to send all the absentee ballots to me for safekeeping.

    Hillary has already told Joe not to concede. They even war games scenarios at the DNC.

    A candidate cannot declare victory. They can only say it looks like. The Democrats have already lined up about 1000 lawyers ready to contest the voting in every state, so I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Trump has some legals around.

    Projections are not votes.

    Hillary already let the cat out of the bag. Dementia Biden won't conceded, and when he doesn't, we'll have all the evidence that liberals planned this clusterduck from the beginning.
