The Constitution is just a suggestion to Donald Trump, a man who doesn’t know the meaning of fairplay. He proved that all the years he was in business and defrauding his workers. Now he’s got his eyes set on his next battle, the 2026 midterms, where he expects the Republicans to take a drubbing. Adam Schiff has a clear eye on the subject, as he does with all things Trump.
I think he’ll — intends to try to subvert the elections. He will do everything he can to suppress the vote. And if he loses the vote, and I think the Republicans now expect they’ll get a real drubbing in the midterms, he’s prepared to try to take some kind of action to overturn the result.
And we really shouldn’t question that. We saw him try to the point of insurrection to overturn the 2020 election. We see him now taking these extraordinary steps with an election now years ago.
He’s basically telling us he intends to interfere in this coming — upcoming election. He hasn’t brought prices down. There’s chaos and killing in American streets by ICE agents.
The public has turned against him. In every election we’ve had since his election, the voters have swung wildly against him. And as you know, he said at that prayer breakfast, his ego cannot stand another loss.
So, we have to prepare for the worst. We have to prepare in every way we can.
The first order of business is to make sure that Democrats kill the SAVE Act, but as we will talk about below, there is a second phase to Trump’s plan.
Sen. Schiff also talked about phase two of Trump’s plan, which is what will happen after Republicans lose the election.
Schiff said:
He is laying the foundation to challenge the results of November if they go against the president and his party. And it’s not just Tommy Tuberville. You cited a moment ago Speaker Mike Johnson as somehow defending our Constitution. Well, Mike Johnson was also saying something very similar to Tommy Tuberville. He said that three House — or three Republicans in California were ahead on election day and lost when the absentee ballots came in in California, and therefore there must be fraud. And he couldn’t prove it but he was sure that it took place.
Well, that’s the same kind of big lie that you’re hearing from Tommy Tuberville, that you heard from Donald Trump, and continue to hear from Donald Trump. This is part of laying the foundation to challenge the result when they lose in the midterms. And we need to call it out. We need to spell it out.
Even as they are saying, people don’t trust the elections, they are the reason why people don’t trust the elections because they keep telling the American people that somehow American elections are untrustworthy. It is the same thing you see of tin pot dictators anywhere.
The big sign that Trump put out there was when he went into the voting records in Fulton County, Georgia. Trump is obsessed with the idea of cheating — not surprisingly, considering what a cheat he is.
Trump and the entire Repugnican party are desperate to hold onto power in order to stay out of court, then jail. They are laser-focued on the mid-terms and will use every method possible to corrupt the elections, from voter intimidation/suppression to armed masked thugs blocking access to polling places. January 6 showed clearly how far they’re willing to go, and that was just a warmup.
