1. He'll declare as soon as possible

And if the Corporate Media had any integrity they would not cover his declaration speech.

5. They don't, so they will cover it, and hype it.

[PJMcK]

2. Doesn't matter

The votes will be counted.

Lawsuits will be filed.

Ultimately, VP Harris will become President Harris.

Trump will be convicted again and again.

The future is bright!

3. On one hand, I think we need to inoculate everyone by exposing

trump's plan to declare himself the winner early on. But at the same time--what if the American people surprise us and it's Harris who is clearly winning in a landslide at 7:00 or 8:00 p.m.? 🤔

4. His intent to declare victory early has been extensively reported in the media.

And everyone pretty much knows his MO by now, anyway.

And, ultimately, it doesn't matter. He can say whatever he wants. It won't change the results.

A Harris victory will probably not be evident that early because some GOP-controlled states changed when ballots can be counted, a move intended to drag out the process and potentially create confusion. One of those is PA, which is probably the tipping point state.

That being said, if the margins are big enough, it may not necessarily be official early, but obvious, as you noted. That would make it difficult for Trump to say much of anything.

6. he is basically declaring he's the winner all the time, non stop. winner of past, present and future

[TwilightZone]

7. Agreed.

He also often claims that 2020 was a landslide - for him - and 2024 is, too.

[Happy Hoosier]

8. 7 eastern...

He'll want the narrative gathering steam as early as possible. He'll try to shut down ballot counting immediately.

[Wednesdays]

9. If it becomes clear that Harris will win the entire Eastern Seaboard

(Except for South Carolina), that is, all of New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, D.C., Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, then it'll be all over before bedtime, and it won't matter what TCF says.

It's a lofty goal, but the way things are going, quite do-able.

10. He already has. n/t
