    By "big", I mean if she loses the nationwide popular vote and Trump collects >311 electoral votes. I'm genuinely curious as to what people think might be the excuses offered for such a result taking place. Mind you, I'm not predicting Trump wins the national popular vote, but it's clearly a possibility given recent polling data. Here are a few examples of what I think we might hear on November 6th and forward in this scenario:

    "She didn't really have enough time to get her campaign off the ground."
    "Trump refused to debate her again."
    "GOP changed the voting laws and made it more difficult for Harris supporters to vote."
    "Media gave Trump more coverage (even if it was negative coverage)."
    "It was Joe Biden's fault."
    "Trump lied so much and misled everyone."

    I'm sure there would be and are a lot more potential things we'd hear that I'm not thinking of.

    I don’t know what the excuses will be but my laughter on this board will be deafening.

    Who knows what excuses might be offered. Most likely she will borrow some offered in the previous election.
    • It was rigged
    • The Republicans cheated
    • Mike Pence failed his duty
    • Those 2 election workers in Atlanta
    • or Philadelphia or Detroit
    • Chinese rice ballots
    • Dominion vote tabulators
    • Massive turnout by the dead
    • Massive turnout by immigrants
    • Massive turnout by dead immigrants.
      No doubt there’s already a team of lawyers locked in a room with potent hallucinogens to think of some more.

    America is sexist.
    America is racist.

    It doesn't matter if she loses; she'll still be elected President.

    Last time Trump won, most of the board conservatives disappeared because they couldn't handle the libs' criticisms. My prediction is that things will largely still suck in America, and Trump will do plenty of things that cant be defended by anyone that isnt psychotic, and they will tune out or find places they dont have the mean old libs bothering them.

    The main impact of a Trump presidency here is many, many more Trump threads started by liberals, you know, the ones you all complain about in smaller numbers already.

    These threads will be hilarious.
    But I hope the libbies don’t leave the board after a Trump victory.
    That would be sad.

    If history is a guide, no one really likes playing "defense" ... its always easier to criticize every little thing that goes wrong. Conservatives were way more active here when Obama and Biden was president.

    Asking politely not to thread hijack. Feel free to start one about Trump. I would like to keep this one about the excuses we will hear from Harris supporters, media if Harris loses in significant fashion as stated in the OP.

    Watching MAGA voters continuously make fools of themselves here is the only entertaining aspect of this board. Unless that goes away, which is scientifically impossible, I'll stick around.

    I thought about making another thread, but I believe the 2 funniest possible results of the election are:

    1. Trump popular vote win and Electoral College loss

    2. Trump wins the EC, Dems hold Senate and take the House

    While I would say none of these results are likely, they also are not impossible

    Maybe many will just disappear like you did when there was no Matt Bevins victory party.

    I'm willing to wager that if Harris loses we see her give a speech like this once the election is called.

    Given that it's almost been four years since Trump lost in 2020 and he has yet to concede it's a virtual certainty that he will not be conceding if he (likely) loses again. Someone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder never admits that he lost anything.

    People who claim they regretted voting for him later.
