Mark My Words... Agent Orange will attempt ot delay the elections

Using the Corona virus as the excuse, between now and November he will come up with bullshit about it 'pouring thru the mexican border and it's all those damn democrats fault for not letting him build his precious wall'.. Mass quarentine to prohibit large gatherings of people (like at the polls). Watch and see. Bastard will do anything to cheat.

But elections are run by the states and I doubt he would get away with cancelling the whole magilla.

Everything with this idiot is upside down. I will hope that you are wrong!

all the MAGAts will disregard all public health warnings, get together at all their MAGAt rallies, do Pence-snot handshakes with each other, and do everything they can to infect each other. Given the level of ignorance and stupidity they've shown so far, it seems inevitable that the entire White House staff will be infected.

think he is setting up Pence as the fall guy so he can
put Jarrod, Jr. or maybe Ivanca in as VP.

8. Expect quarantines of areas to be like apportioning voting machines

They'll cage Democratic-leaning areas to prevent them from voting. It will be much simpler and more effective than complex voter suppression strategies. Just quarantine Democrats.

States control the elections. He can't unilaterally force 50 state governments to delay them. They'd laugh in his face.

Not happening.

since before the Mueller Report, that our elections will be effed. The whole frigging cyber-world is sitting-in on it. That said, I think his ego might need some strokes, and declaring martial law, and his-self main marshall might be irresistable.

Election is mandatory by constitution

He could use this and Russian meddling as an excuse

Plus for sake of markets, he will try to downplay the virus. The markets would really tank if he did something drastic, if they aren't already rock bottom by then.
