Doesn't matter. Any change in an election date must be approved by both chambers of Congress, and not even the Senate GOP traitors would pass this, never mind the Democratic-controlled House. Plus, the actual physical conducting of elections is done by state governments, not the federal executive branch, so the presidency/cabinet has exactly zero authority to change elections.
This is just distraction from his catastrophic mismanagement of the COVID crisis, its ensuing 150,000 (and counting) deaths, and the 33% contraction in the economy that was reported this morning.
Eye on the ball, my American friends, don't be distracted. Don't just beat him, vote him and the entire GOP out, down to the subatomic level.

This shows even he believes the polls saying he won't win, now. His campaign know all the spinning in the world won't save them now that he has an actual track record, and 150,000 COVID deaths, following him. He's not the outsider maverick anymore.
Hilary was a little ahead on most national polls and won the popular vote while losing the college, making baffling arrogant decisions about ignoring states she relied on...Biden is miles ahead of her numbers on every national poll and seems to be competitive even in some states that were massively red in 2016. His VP pick could see him climb even higher, even if a few points more would probably be his ceiling.
Trump's only way ahead now is something seriously major - a massive Biden scandal, or a working cure for COVID discovered in the US before election day. Something seismic. There's no version of the next few months that look easy for Trump. Biden, on the other hand, is winning by letting Trump beat himself. The old adage about the best way to prove someone a fool is to just stand by and let them open their mouth rings true. Even this week as Trump still endorsed cures scientists and the WHO have called dangerous, he's winning no support beyond his own much diminished fringe. He's appealing to smaller numbers of Trump fans, wheras Biden is mobilising groups who either went Trump in 2016 - suburbanites, white women - or just stayed home.
It really is Biden's to lose. I'm not a great fan of his but he's the centrist that's perhaps needed to wean people back to voting blue in a way Bernie or Warren may not have.

There are still 96 days till the election, and sycophant protofascist enablers like Chad Wolf, Ken Cuccinelli, and Bill Barr are going to do everything they can to try to steal the election for their orange master. |

I honestly think Trump wouldn't manage to get to "One".  Dude lives on fast food. |

As Digi said, obviously, nothing is certain. Though, if Trump is saying this, it might be telling that his 'methods' of winning (i.e. cheating) won't work this time, like the whole business with the Feds in Portland and how people are worried they'll try to steal ballots or beat up voters.
It's easy to focus on stuff like the racism, incompetence and conspiracy nonsense as Trump's downfall, but I think Biden's winning tack stems from two simpler elements: 1) His presentation as 'Don't Worry America, Grampa's here to get you home': a nice, milquetoast, safe alternative to the circus of Trump and the upheavals of the last four years. What I would've said was his great weak point now is a gigantic assest in the middle of a highly disruptive event like the covid pandemic: people want 'normal' again. 2) While I would love to say that Americans have had a great awakening to prejudice and corruption, I think pragmatism will be what swings people to Biden: Dems spend in a way Reps don't, and Trump's 'packages' have not helped many businesses, or even gotten to them. That's a lot of angry employers who will want to get their own back on Trump, and Biden doesn't really threaten them in any ideological sense.

The Constitution is pretty clear on the election issue. This country has past the 150,000 dead from Covid-19 mark today and we recorded the worst GDP number in our nation's history. Oh and Trump ally Herman Cain died of Covid-19 today after attending Trump's Tulsa rally. So yeah, this is just another Trump distraction.

He will screw up our election no matter what. And when he's out of office, it's not like he'll shut up or the media won't breathlessly cover his tantrums anyway. He'll continue to hold his stupid rallies and undermine the new administration while setting up his Trump News Network.
And the spineless GOP cretins will suddenly get brave and offer meek mealy-mouthed excuses for why they didn't do more earlier.
The whole thing is depressing.

And the spineless GOP cretins will suddenly get brave and offer meek mealy-mouthed excuses for why they didn't do more earlier. The whole thing is depressing. I always thought his 2016 run, that he didn't even think he was really gonna win when coming down the infamous escalator, was to get his profile more overtly political ahead of launching his own news network, run by his buddy Roger Ailes. To outfox...well, Fox. I don't think many even in his campaign team really imagined by year's end Trump would be President-elect and Ailes dead and disgraced. Trumps own cabinet (all of them, he's fired so many) were almost all calling him a joke before he got the GOP nomination then they acted like he was the new messiah. They'll get theirs too as they try and sell to their states why they backed the racist, sexist blowhard fantasist. I did enjoy Trump nearly crying on TV over why Dr Fauci's approval ratings are much better than his. I guess Fauci being consistent with his mask wearing message, not holding mass rallies and not going on TV encouraging people to inject bleach probably has something to do with it. As much as I cannot wait to see Trump have to hand over power to Biden, knowing he was beaten....I'd love to see people like Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell brought down just as much. They're enablers of the madness which in a way I find more disturbing than Trump himself. He's an entitled baby who has never been told "no" in his life. He knew how to dodge tax and self declare bankruptcies to his advantage but that's about it. McConnell and Graham are actually intelligent people who have lived real lives and still enable Trump. That's real danger. Like Rumsfeld and Cheney with Bush Jr, they seem to view the President as their useful idiot. |

Although Trump is not far behind him I'm not trying to be gross, but I've noticed that Trump's trousers bulge quite a bit around his 'regions', especially the back. Granted, yes he's a lardy, but it looks almost padded, like he could be wearing something for incontinence (given lots of people wonder if he may not have early signs of dementia, I can't say this would be all that shocking). |

So, Republicans finally talk back to Trump. There will be a lot of Republicans in office having epiphanies between now and November if the polls stay even remotely the same. Watch them slither back to the centre-right from the fringe. It was a comedy before it became a tragedy. We used to say of Trump "elect a clown, don't moan when he starts a circus". Now it's more insidious even if it doesn't roll off the tongue. "Elect a clown and wait long enough...count the dead". |

You know he won’t go to Biden’s inauguration but will be rage tweeting during it. I really hope the media, well the not-in-the-tank-for-Trump media, just doesn’t cover it. Ignore. Don’t give his childish ranting any oxygen. |

I would really appreciate a media pact to just not ever cover him again. |

That's the problem. He gets ratings, even if it's just a car crash like the Axios debacle. The media won't be able to resist covering him, even if it's thinly-veiled mocking at his incoherent angry rambling. He'll thrive on that - any publicity is good publicity for him. He'll spin it to make himself the victim and rally whatever is left of his ridiculous base.
