Donald Trump just admitted he knows he’s losing big
We’re still a long way away from election day. Things can happen, and no lead is safe enough. So we have to remain vigilant no matter what, and keep putting in the work on crucial things like voter registration and voter turnout. But it couldn’t be much more clear that Donald Trump is losing badly right now. In fact he just admitted as much.
Donald Trump just tweeted this surreal conspiracy theory about the election somehow being rigged against him:
The United States cannot have all Mail In Ballots. It will be the greatest Rigged Election in history. People grab them from mailboxes, print thousands of forgeries and “force” people to sign. Also, forge names. Some absentee OK, when necessary. Trying to use Covid for this Scam!

Trump then added “The Democrats are trying to Rig the 2020 Election, plain and simple!” This is a dead giveaway that Trump knows he’s losing badly, or else he wouldn’t even be pushing this kind of idiotic narrative to try to explain things away when he loses; he’ll try to rationalize to himself that he secretly won, so he doesn’t have to admit that he’s an unpopular failure.
Of course this is even more of a reason to run up the score and make sure Donald Trump loses by a large margin. That way he won’t be able to try to contest the election. He wouldn’t succeed in doing so anyway, but why give him the opening? Let’s make sure he loses big.
