Sorry to burst your bubble, but if he wins within the bounds of the law, it ain’t stealing.

If he uses a servile court to stop votes that were cast legally from being counted, then that does count as stealing.

That said, I believe he will not be successful in his efforts and he'll look like a baby.

Maybe you'll want to be somebody else's Toupée after this.

I was “Mitt Romney’s Hair” on here before I jumped over to Trump’s head. We’ll see who is next in due time.

There won't be any stealing either way.  He will either legally lose (likely) or win (no real chance).

I don't think the courts are going to play along, because it looks not so close in MI and probably PA.

The only plausible path to something like this is Trump convincing the GOP legislatures in WI/MI/PA to submit slates of Trump electors to congress.  Dem state officials would presumably submit alternative Biden slates.  The House will vote to accept the Biden slates, so the Senate would have to hold the line on blocking this and then it could go to the 12th Amendment procedure where Republicans theoretically would have at least 26 state delegations to elect Trump if they were all united behind this.  However, the PA R state legislative leaders have already rejected this idea.

I cannot see Romney, Murkowski, or Collins going for this. Besides, trying to do so massively increases Ossoff and Warnock's chances of winning the runoffs.

Yes, via state legislatures sending their own slate of electors. Trump's already ordering them to and Republican legislators have proven themselves as nothing more than brainless puppets

No of course not. If there are legit allegations of fraud they need to be investigated.

He's sure trying. My money's on it not working, given the state of his lawsuits so far and the fact that the GOP doesn't have much to gain, but if it does, I fear that the Union is untenable.

No, this election is already over, Trump will lose PA Erie county already flipped D, a bellwether county and Dems will win both runoffs and Leader Schumer will be the Majority Leader in the Senate. 51/49. Perdue avoided the last debate and didn't want to debate Ossoff fearful of a runoff. Ossoff got his runoff as he wanted.

2022 Dem Govs will be reelected insulating our D H and DS 53/57 Senate. Rs will pick up 8 seats in redistricting from GA, FL and TX but lose 4 from MI, IL, Cali and NY and D's will gain NM2: and Underwood seat in a map redraw of the House delegation keeping D H in D hands 225

Mainers have given Collins a pass for two disastrous, irresponsible SCOTUS confirmation votes and her vote to acquit Trump for what might be the biggest betrayal of public trust and abuse of power of any President in history. I no longer buy the "RINO Collins" meme.

I agree that he sure is trying to, but then, that's the only way he knows how to operate.

He was a liar con artist and a fraud before he ran for President, that's who he is. A big bully, intimidator and all that. He never changes. If we let him he WILL steal the election.

No, it doesn't seem like anyone is playing along.

The media is being very thorough in calling out his lies and not giving him even a hint of traction, and Republicans have mostly condemned or stayed silent on his activity.

The Fox News prime time crowd is all-in, of course.

Furthermore, Biden is going to end up so far ahead that it won't matter.  He's on track to win 306 EVs.  Trump would have to flip 3 states to undo that result.
