If the Democrats swindled Trump in the election, why did they neglect to follow through and steal the House and Senate?

I mean why not take it all?

Oh good question! The logic will blow conspiracy theorists out of their minds!

Good question, since both the president and the congress were on the same ballots. I don’t think the Trumpanzies were ever accused of being logical.

It makes no sense that people would have elected so many new Republicans to the house whom Trump endorsed and who endorse Trump, but Trump would lose—and that Republicans would hold the Senate but lose the Presidency. Or that Biden supporters would elect a Republican House and Senate. The Biden votes have been fudged.

Biden votes were fudged, apparently by people who are smart enough to steal votes for one candidate but are so stupid they couldn’t figure out how to steal the votes for all of the candidates, or maybe they just forgot. Stupid Democratic vote stealers! ~~~

These questions are ultimately silly because those of us who know there’s been no shenanigans see the humor and logic gap here but those who believe these voter fraud conspiracies just take it as proof that Biden’s votes must be artificially inflated.

If someone already believes in conspiracies, we will not be convincing them of anything logical — ever.

My Q…HOW did trump know 4 years ago that he was going to be cheated out of office this time??? He started complaining about voter fraud in 2020 almost before he got moved into the WH in 2016. It appears to me that the reps perpetrated the fraud!!!

I’m thinking that IF Biden is smart enough to pull of the fraud he’s being given credit for engineering, that he really is smart enough to be our President!!! trump was handed the job & he didn’t care enough to do it properly. I know a good number of reps who voted for Biden because they hated what trump was doing to our country & yet they still voted for the reps in the House & Senate races. In all honesty I’m NOT overly concerned in whether or not the right understands how it happened just as long as it happened!!! trump was so polarizing that we had people that went to vote that hadn’t voted since baby Bush went into office. Once trump made it clear that he planned to become a dick-tater, it became peoples mission to ake sure he didn’t get the chance.

I’m NOT a big fan of Biden & would have voted for a rep IF they had offered pretty much anyone other than trump…but they didn’t. Hence, given the 2 choices that I was offered, Biden was the lesser of the 2 evils & got my vote. I couldn’t vote for Hillary last time; but, I’ve got to give her credit in that she was most gracious in congratulating trump on her ass kicking. Too bad trump is allowing a WOMAN to make him look bad without even trying!!!

A reasonable person will understand that a lot of fraud in the favor of “the big guy” took place. The question is, “Was the fraud significant?” I don’t know. But likely not. Nothing wrong with trying to find out the truth.

Two very important Senate elections are yet to take place in Georgia. It is likely to get ugly in that election also.

No one swindled Trump of votes.

And if they had, and if it was Democrats doing it, at the very least, the Senate would have at least 52 (D) senators, and no Mitch McConnell.

I feel sorry for anyone who’s still subscribed to Trump’s delusions at this point.

They wouldn’t. Good question!

I’ll guarantee that the Democrats would have preferred taking even just a couple more seats in the Senate over taking the Oval Office. That would have been the more valuable prize for them.

@LadyMarissa To respond to your Q, they said on tonight’s news that trump’s good friend roger stone had started a pac back in 2016 to support trump and he had come up with the phrase “stop the steal” as a way to raise money for trump’s campaign. Then, being the original thinker that he is, trump used the same phrase i the 2018 mid-terms to pack the senate. Then trump did a variation of it in 2020 after getting his butt kicked and it took off like wildfire. I don’t remember stone having a pac but I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t have been on his mailing list. No wonder trump gave him a “get out of jail free” card. There would have been a good chance that trump wouldn’t have been elected if it weren’t for stone and his money
