quote:

Veteran investigative journalist Carl Bernstein reported that President Trump is exploring various ways to hold onto power.

The Watergate sleuth told CNN host Chris Cuomo on Monday that there is chatter in the White House about gaming the system as Trump's critics raise concerns about voter suppression.



quote:

"Because everything is about the base, as he calls it," Bernstein said. "And getting the base to somehow reelect him or get him close enough to reelection that he can then put into authoritarian practice. Some kind of mechanism that will allow him to hold onto power, perhaps throw the election into the House of Representatives, which indeed is being talked about in the White House."


quote:

Indeed, the Twelfth Amendment, which altered Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution, empowers the House to decide who will be president if no candidate wins a majority of electors. This may give Trump an advantage over his Democratic opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden, with each state having one vote.



These motherfrickers y'all.

For Christ sakes. That is all false. This “veteran investigative journalists” source is “chatter within the White House”. How vague can you be? GTFO with that baseless bullshite.

The Watergate sleuth



They were hyping this dude up months ago when it came to the Russiagate trash and I dont think he revealed anything worth a shite, much less anything that even made the news. CNN probably just keeps him in cold storage as a faux "authority" on certain things.

It's like 2016 all over again.

"Trump doesn't really want to win"

I'd appreciate some better creativity.

It's what you say when you don't EVEN have an "anonymous source" but just want to report what you hope to think could going on.

"Throw the election to the House" is different than "throwing the election."

What does that even mean? Does someone actually believe that Trump will be able to cause a 269-269 tie (on purpose) or what?

Stupid frickin article

Remember in 16 the constant stories of Trump really not wanting to win? He was just in the race to pimp the trump brand. LooMe like they are back using the old playbook.
