Is Trump Winning? Team Trump Doesn't Think So
Have you listened to these people lately? Do they SOUND like they're winning?

Since Thursday, the GOP and their most reliable accomplice, the mainstream media, have been in a frenzy, demanding Joe Biden step down. It has been a relentless drumbeat. He’s too old. He’s sick. He’s frail. Blablabla.
Predictably, a certain segment of liberals have wet themselves in terror. I watched this happen in 2012 when Obama lost the first debate. I watched it again when Hillary got pneumonia in 2016. There’s always some new excuse why the Democratic nominee needs to step aside. But not Republicans. Never Republicans.
One has to ask why this is. Why is the press always so eager to have Democrats get out of the way?
It could be in good faith. Maybe the press really wants the strongest Democratic candidate in the general election. Maybe they care so much about the future of the nation and want the best-qualified person to sit in the White House.
But considering how hard the press keeps manipulating coverage to benefit Trump, this seems unlikely.
Flipping over to Republicans, they talk a good game but have you actually listened to them? Every word out of their mouth tells you the same story: They know Trump is losing.
No one who knows they’re winning has to say “I’ll accept the results of the election but only if they’re fair.” And that is the ONLY thing Republicans will say.
In MAGAland, every conversation about the election is about how Democrats are going to “cheat” in November. About how they’re going to “rig” the vote so Trump can’t win. Aside from every Republican accusation being a confession, these are not people who know they’re winning. These are people who know they no longer win elections and are expecting to lose this one, too.
It’s important to remember that they are working on multiple plans to reverse the outcome. You don’t do that when you’re winning. You do that when you’re preparing to lose.
They’re going to try to have ballots thrown out.
They’re going to try to stage riots to have ballots destroyed.
They’re going to try to stop mail-in ballots from being counted.
They’re going to try to have the slate of electors from entire states declared void by the Supreme Court.
They’re definitely planning to refuse to seat the new Democratic majority in the House on January 3rd so an illegitimate Republican “majority” can refuse to certify the results on January 6th.
When you’re planning to win, you don’t have multiple plans to steal an election afterward.
Listen to Democrats and they’re not talking about how to reverse the results if Trump wins. They’re talking about crushing him at the ballot box and then stopping every illegal attempt to steal the election between November 5th, 2024 and January 20, 2025. Those are people who are planning to win.
Republicans are planning to lose. It really is that simple. Just listen to them talk.
There are 126 days until the 2024 election. Vote blue like your life depends on it.

We'll Biden definitely won't step down now! 🥳 he's got immunity he can do whatever the heck he wants thanks to SCOTUS! 😉 I guess they forgot Trump isn't president at the moment.
Of course his team thinks he is a loser. He’s a convicted felon who has also been found to have raped a woman, screwed a porn star and lied to the people. He is the one who should drop out of the running. Not Biden!
