@RepSwalwell
This isnt a court case that youre going to lose you cant continue it. Its not a loan youre behind on you cant default. And these arent taxes you owe you cant file an extension. Its an election, and the certainty of it happening is like the sun setting in the west.
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???

Even if he were to somehow delay it, the 20th Amendment says Pres starts a new term on 1/20.

I'd only add, the election is not a hooker you can pay off or a contractor you can stiff.

Even if it's delayed, it could only be for a couple of months. He'd be out of office on 1/20/21, regardless.

there will be a big court case that Trump loses. Hopefully this results in Trump spending the rest of his life in prison.
