Delay the election, really?
It’s a crazy notion, of course. And a president who made sure he won a one-moment term doesn’t want to think about bringing the date forward beyond November 3.

Trump used the tweet to file his complaint about the ballots by mail:
“With universal postal voting (not mail voting, which is good), 2020 will be the ultimate choice of INEXACT AND FRAUDULENTE in history,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “It will be a wonderful disgrace to America. Delay elections until others can vote correctly and safely?”
Let’s say it’s just a coincidence that the tweet is posted 15 minutes after the announcement that the country’s gross domestic product fell 33% in the quarter.
And leave aside, for the moment, that a president has the strength to waste time with the date set by a law of 1845.
Trump knows it, and even Mitch McConnell says no, he knows very well that the election will not be lost. He also knows that he is fostering a media panic that will magnify his court cases on mail ballots, despite the lack of fraud for a focus effectively led by many Republicans.
In fact, Trump then told reporters that he was looking to pressure “very misleading media” to communicate about the dangers of postal voting, and that a contested election can take “years” to resolve. But he criticized through the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal and the National Review, which he called his suggestion “grotesque and anti-American.”
The chair is even consistent here. When Joe Biden said in April that he thought Trump would “try to roll back the election one way or another,” which I questioned, the president protested:
“I have no idea how to convert the election date,” he said. “Why do I do it? November 3. That’s a smart number. No, I look to this election.”
Could Trump lay the groundwork for an imaginable defeat? Well, maybe.
But I think only Trump is the disruptor, who enjoys the concept of making everyone go crazy and unbalance him.

Trump tweets concepts with question marks, then gradually drops the score, for example, when he launched the concept of regulating social media and eventually issued an executive order to announce the notion.
But the most recent tweet once proves that Trump is a disciplined candidate but a candidate who relies on intuition and provocation.
Over the past 10 days, Trump has gone from scheduled sobriety over the virus to the fact that much of the country is crown-free and governors will have to continue reopening their states. After saying on a podcast that he regretted that his tweets and retweets caused the most trouble, Trump retweeted a prohydroxy-chloroquine doctor talking about demonic sex, and then said he knew nothing about it.
The gamble to delay the presidential election provoked the expected outrage of Democrats. Kamala Harris: Are you running for something? – tweeted that “Donald Trump is terrified. He knows he’s going to lose to @JoeBiden. All of us will have to do that.”
On Election Day, it will take place on November 3, as scheduled. The question is whether Trump can cross in a way that makes him say hello to that date.
