🚨🚨LET'S PLAY A GAME. It's called "Which Election." I'll show tweets from elections Trump claimed fraud after he or guy he supported lost. The game: Guess which race!

I hope @RepSwalwell @tedlieu @RepKatiePorter etc play this game on House floor with @mattgaetz et al.../1
...when they try to overthrow democracy because Trump says "fraud" for the millionth time.

The rules: You get 1 point if you guess the year. On difficult ones, I will give a second point if you guess the race.

AND HEEERRRE WE GO WITH THE GAME "WHICH ELECTION"..../2
...Let's start with a toughy. This is from a series of tweets proclaiming how voters should react because the person declared the winner only won through fraud..../3
...Now, again, some of these have no specifics of who the person is who ran - could be Trump, could be someone else - so don't assume you know who he's talking about. What's the year for this one? And I will give an extra point for what race?.../4
....next, you just get a point for what year. But, tell me which race too!.../5
...some folks are looking at tweets from different years and responding with "Meh. It's 2020. Duh" And EVERY TIME I have seen them, the answer has been wrong! So be careful! Many sound exactly the same, year after year.

Ok, what year? And another point for which race?.../6
...Now, the previous tweet had a claim of fraud in Arizona, this one he tries for a trifecta. And it also throws in an attack on the media for not reporting his conspiracy theories. What year?.../7
...I'm looking at responses. Again, a caution! Just because a tweet sounds the same as what he says in 2020, dont assume it's 2020. It usually isn't!

Ok, an old faithful - machines flipping votes. What's the year? And I'll give a second point if you name the race.../8
...this one is not a tweet, and also a super duper toughy. So, this is a 3 pointer! One pointy for the year, two points for the race!.../9
...now, this one is hard to edit so that it blocks that this is about someone who Trump supported. So, there's that hint. But it is also a reaaallly tough one. It includes another old faithful: People voting over and over. One point for the year, THREE points for the race..../10
...intermission. And we take a short one-tweet break, let's remember the time in high school when Trump decided that, because the kid next to him got a higher grade on a test than Donny, he must have cheated...
...now, back to our game. A quick reminder with this one: Trump ran for the Reform Party nomination in 2000 (and still bitches about that one), also there are many primaries in 2016, and the general election in 2020. This one is another "give proof it didn't happen!" fraud.../13
...there have been a lot of tough ones. So I'll let up here. For the Trump aficionados, this one should be easy, and I will be generous. Name the year and the race, one point each!.../14
..just for laughs, a quick reminder. Looney-tunes also said, repeatedly, that the Emmys were rigged against him. I didnt hide the date and no points for this one because he said it EVERY YEAR from 2005-2012. There practically is no wrong answer..../15
...another one. Remember! I am also including tweets of "fraud!" claims when people he supported lost..../16
...thats the game! The answers start on the next tweet, total up your score and give it on the last tweet, which will be noted as "GIVE YOUR SCORE HERE!" A big failure if you guessed 2020 more than once. Each answer will be for number I gave my tweet, so it starts with 3....
...
3. 2012, Obama v. Romney. 1 point for the date.
4. Same as above. 1 point for date, 1 for race...
5. 2020. This morning. 1 point for date
6. A big fooler. "Signatures don't match." 2012 AGAIN! Obama v. Romney. 1 point for date, 1 for race...
...
7. 2016. This is AFTER Trump won. He is explaining how fraud was the only reason he lost California, Virginia and New Hampshire. 1 point for date.
8. 2012. Voting machines flipping vote conspiracy theory, with flip from Romney to Obama. 1 point for date, 1 for race...
...
9. This was a tough one. 2018, Democratic primary in New York’s 12th District. This one was "mail in votes fraud, rerun the election." 1 point for date, 2 for the race....
...
10. The toughest of all. 2012, the Scottish vote for Scot of the Year. Trump supported one guy, another who slammed his golf course won. This has the "multiple voting" conspiracy theory. 1 point for date, 3 for race....
...
11. Intermission
12. No question. Oops.
13. 2016: when he lost the popular vote, asking media to prove it wasn't fraud. 1 point for date....
14. A classic. 2016, Trump accuses @tedcruz of committing fraud because Trump lost the Iowa Caucuses. I was generous: One point for year, one for race.
15. The Emmys. No points
16. 2016. Another "Cruz cheated" tweet. One point for date....
..Total up your results, & GIVE YOUR SCORE HERE! Show it in comment on this tweet, honor system - which means Trump cant play. Winner gets this lovely trophy: 🏆

So join us next time for "WHICH ELECTION," where we laugh at Trump's inability to lose without screaming fraud.
