How to Lose an Election101

Lucas McCain's Avatar
When you have more money to spend, damn near every celebrity endorsing you, an old scumbag as your competitor, people who worked for him coming out saying what an incompetent piece of shit he is and that's just to name a few things. How the fuck can you lose the election?

I'll tell you how:

1) Answer every question the exact same way for three months regardless of whether or not your answers are well received.

2) Never clearly separate your identity from your boss who people don't like.

3) Never own anything as a mistake so when you are on a fluff show like "The View" and asked whether you would have done anything differently as VP, be sure to give it a thought and say, "no".

4) Never throw your boss under the bus for his job that you want even if the vast majority didn't like how he did his job.

5) Always have someone like Cardi B as a speaker at a rally. She is hard to understand unless you are from Washington Heights, NY and many people don't like female rappers with gigantic fake butts, but she is a name so there's that.

6) Always be politically correct and never mention that your opponent is old as fuck and is already showing signs of cognitive decline.

7) Always laugh regardless of whether or not it is funny.

8) Talk about fixing price gouging to curb inflation even if it makes little sense to most and probably doesn't to you either.

9) Tell the same stories about when you were younger so that the middle class and the lower class will relate to you even if they don't believe you.

10) Have a putz as your running mate to take your current job. Some people actually like story telling mascots.

Just having a little bit of fun, folks. After that MSG rally and the other foolishness after that, my only thought was, "does Trump even want to be president?"

I guess Trump has proven that he can definitely win against women but just can't win against a man.

Well, not quite, Bud. My position has not changed one iota since I started another thread about how politics affects me a little over a year ago: https://eccie.net/showthread.php?t=2939063

Nice try though, but like I posted initially, just having a little bit of fun.

Edit for below: IMO, they are/were both terrible candidates. I didn't vote for a reason. I am a never Trump guy, but I am also not going to vote for someone (Harris, Biden or Clinton) I don't like either which is why this was the 3rd straight election that I did not bother to vote.
It didn't matter that she was a terrible candidate and NEVER got ONE vote for the nomination of the party to run for president but instead was place in the position which I don't recall EVER happening in the history of this country...you seem to have overlooked that.

So calling half the country Nazi garbage is a bad idea then? Whoda thunk it.

Kamala can’t even carry on a flowing conversation unless she has a script to read.

I am not watching Fox this morning. I am watching MSNBC and CNN. Even that bunch of clowns now recognize that you can’t win an election by calling 80 million people racist, Nazi’s, homophobes, and facist simply because they think we should secure the border, stop using abortion as birth control, keep biological males from competing against their daughters in sports, and being treated like second class citizens while giving illegal immigrants free everything.

One major item that escapes them all. All of those indictments brought by prosecutors who won elections on one promise, to prosecute Trump. It was a joke going around, every time a new indictment came down, his poll numbers went up. But it turns out it was no joke. 80 million voters saw it for what it was, selective prosecutions to illuminate a chief political rival.

Also, the whole celebrity endorsment thing. In the final days of the campaign, the best example of being totally out of touch with the electorate was parading out JayLo for a big speech. A woman who spent quite a few years sucking the dick of a man who is now being accused of the most horrendous crimes against women imaginable.
