2020 election best case and worst case scenarios
 

Okay folks,
We are down to the last lap, a little over three weeks to go. I know it is up in the air, but the polls and predictions are getting more and more solid. Everything I am seeing and reading predicts Trump to lose, the house to remain democratic, and a slight margin of favor for the senate to change to democratic. I am going to state what I think the best and worse case outcomes of the elections. Worst case would involve civil unrest and outright bloodshed - so put that aside.

I have spent a bit of time mulling over possible outcomes and where they would lead. Rather than type all of it out, here is my sumarization.

Best case for the American people, Trump wins, the senate changes, they remove him after a very thorough trial and investigation. They show him for what he is to all of the world, to the point that only the true anarchists would defend him. Pence takes over and everybody tries to get along. I think this is a pipe dream.

This is the likely outcome. Both the legeslative branch and executive branch will be under complete democratic control. Joe Biden will either resign or retire before then end of the first term leaving Kamala Harris in charge. There will be violence and unrest and bloodhsed.

Worst case, Trump wins, the senate remains gop controlled, maybe the house switches to GOP(unlikely) and Trump flushes our governemnt and country down the toilet.

What do you folks think?

Trump loses. The SDNY comes for him.

Worst case is Biden wins but Trump refuses to concede and launches violent coup attempt that leads to full-blown civil war. 'Trump wins' is a close second; many of the worst effects of the above will happen, but more in slow motion.

In the first result the Dems would impeach and remove tRump just as the Sun will rise tomorrow. Then the Dems will turn their attention to removing Pence owing that he has been complicit in all that tRump did. Pence won't be able to lie his way out of any of it.
Just my $.02 on that.

Keep in mind that it takes a 2/3 vote in the senate to convict on impeachment.

Best case, Donny is shut out in a landslide, Repubes lose the Senate, Dems retain the House. The country gets back to near normal. The Dem-majority FCC requires fairness in broadcasting once again, including on cable, kneecapping Faux "News".

(1) Peaceful reactions to election results.



(2) Civil War



My fears there will be a contested and drawn out conclusion to just who won. Leaving the looser and supporters to accept or not. If the results are in any way deemed unjust or rigged like I'm seeing telegraphed by the cult. Things will be unsettled and troubling.

Forgot that part. I guess the dems could pull a dirty trick and change that law to a simple majority, then pull him from office.

Well that turns out not to be the case. The two-thirds majority requirement is written into the Constitution, and it would take a constitutional amendment to change it. That won't happen because there are too many low-population red States, each of which swings as much weight as California in this count.

For the same reason, electoral college reform is totally off the table.

Yep....

Best case... T'rump absconds to Moscow in AF1 with his mutant progeny.

Democrats are going to put their shoulders to the wheel and repair the serious damage that the seditious GOP has done to our country. Then the braindead populace of this country will vote the crooks back in for another round of rape, pillage and plunder.

Rinse, repeat.

I should've married that Swedish gal many years ago. Dual citizenship sounds pretty good right about now.

Worst case - one party controls the House, Senate and Oval Office.

Fixed it for you!

"That government is best which governs least."

"In every life a little reign must fall."

Should that happen you can thank the crooks in your party.

I am not sure that is the worst case, but I do agree we are all better off if all three are not single party.

Oh we need two parties alright. The Democratic party and another that is not the current Republican party. The current crop of Republican politicians in D.C., and many other places, have shown they have no place in a democratic republic. There needs to be Dem control of all three branches for at least one term to begin undoing the damage wrought by tRump. After that we need term limits.

Best case scenario is also the most likely right now. Just waiting for Desperate Donny and Billy Barr to pull some completely off the wall illegal maneuver...

Just checked my registration status...I'm registered as unaffiliated.

Didn't mean to deceive y'all when I said I was a Democrat, I thought I was.

I'll go with Uncle Joe, and https://ballotpedia.org/Sharice_Davids.

I'm going to have to split the ticket in other places. Nobody has an agenda I can relate to.

Sounds reasonable. I've read good things about Ms. Davids.

Awwww. Bummer for you! :D

BTW, have you noticed that the stock market has been hitting new records now that Biden has been confirmed? And you told us his "social-ist" policies would cause a market meltdown... :rolleyes:

Just quoting myself here... :D

Yeah, tell that to your monthly Social Security checks and your Medicare. :rolleyes:

Oh, and all the FDR big-government programs that ended Hoover's Great Depression... :rolleyes:

You know what really pisses me off about Libertarians and other of that ilk?

They supported (and may still support) leaving the determination of a citizens rights to the individual states. Fuck that!!!
