Many worry about Trump not leaving office. Not realistic. At 1 second after noon on Jan. 21st, if he hasn’t been re-elected, our police & military still have enough patriots to remove a squatter.

Our worry is him being re-elected by Congress. This is their likely … 1/4

plan. There is no law saying the entire EC must vote, nor is there any provision for delaying their vote. Thus, if Trump’s lawyers throw enough races into turmoil, and Biden can’t get to 270, and we still lack a majority of state delegations in House (we trail 26 … 2/4

to 22 with two splits), then Trump wins.

If Biden can’t get 270, we MUST pick up those two spit delegations + 1. Otherwise, House GOP picks @POTUS. If the delegations tie, then the Sen. picks the VP who then becomes @POTUS (probably Pence) if and until the House … 3/4

@POTUS can pick a @POTUS (when the tie breaks).

It’s way ugly, but hey, as I’ve been saying, our Constitution has always been a mess. We’re just learning how big a mess now.

@POTUS And this is why it’s vital we pick up every winnable House seat, and hold many of the Red seats we picked up in 2018. (Remember, some of those races were razor thin wins.) Even so, it’s going to be very hard to ensure a Delegation majority.

So, the safest way to … 1/2

@POTUS remove Trump and save america is to win 270 outright. But given the voter suppression and the ratfuckery we expect in the states, we will need overwhelming turnout to do that. We’d better, or as many fear, this is probably our last real election. 2/2

@POTUS Trump keeps telling us the plan. When he talked about the mails, it was followed up by Dejoy slowing up the mails. Now he’s talking about “the elections offices.” Remember my tweet a few weeks ago? For a Trump operative (or a Russian) to bribe a county elections … 1/2

@POTUS clerk is not exactly rocket science. If needed, they throw him/her under the bus, exposing their “corrupt intent,” and the ensuing legal battle delays that state certifying the election, withholding their EC delegates.

Mission accomplished. 2/2
