If Trump wins the election thru fraud how can the democrats refute it and prove they won? Or will it just be like another Jan 6 and four years of whining like Trump?

That's how Putin did it; probably the guy guiding all of this.

They have term limits over there in Russia as well, but they have interpreted it as "only allowed X years in a row"...so Putin installs a crony for 1 session every X years, and then magically wins the votes by a landslide every other time.

That's what they'll end up doing. They'll 'interpret' it as consecutive terms, and we'll get 8 years of Trump, then 4 of Vance, then 8 of Trump, etc.

Russian Constitution literally had this phrase "A same person cannot be a President for more than two terms in a row", so it was already opened for an interpretation they did. This actually had changed for just "two terms" in 2020, but provided another excuse for Putin to be elected.

Anyhow, in US Constitution the 22nd amendment says that "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice", so there is no room for interpretation. Even conservative SCOTUS would not do that.

They'd write off Trump by then anyway. They'd hand the reigns to Vance, and go FULL project 2025 while keeping the Magats allegiance to Vance, while extending HIS term limits.

Not that my scenario is any better.

Who are "they"? Child trafficking democrats? Oh, sorry, it was from another conspiracy theory.

No offense, I just think that the idea of some masterminds ruling everything from behind the curtains is a bit ridiculous.

No, you're right. It's essentially the same as "God's will".

A mysterious power you can't see or prove that manipulated everything you don't understand.

It's a really easy rut to fall into.

Run for VP with crony as pres. crony resigns. Wasn't elected as President. Loophole!

Yeah, this scenario seems... feasible. I've read people were contemplating Obama to run for Kamala's VP before Waltz was chosen. And this attempt would certainly end up in Supreme Court.

Well then they will have to slightly extend the term (until death do them part)
