The Free Press‘Stop the Steal’ Mania Has Come for the DemocratsPaid postThe Free Press

Progressives are so confident in a midterm blowout that they think Trump cheating is the only way they can lose. They’re setting up their base for rage and disappointment, writes Mark Halperin. Democrats and much of the media are freaking out these days as much about what they fear will happen after the election as they are about what will happen in the election. What’s Trump up to? Is he going to play fair? Will he interfere with the results? Is he going to sabotage our fundamental democratic process? These fears are common from the Democrats’ far-left fringe to the top tier of the party establishment. Asked whether the Trump administration would meddle with the midterm results, former attorney general Eric Holder responded with certainty: “Yeah, they’re going to try things. We’re prepared to meet what it is they’re going to do.” That was on a recent episode of Pod Save America, a flagship program of the Democratic elite. Some apprehension is understandable. Whatever one’s personal or political view of Donald Trump, his decade of dominance on our national stage has not engendered a sense of calm or confidence that he will play fair. His effort to challenge results in the 2020 presidential race, and his extraordinary push to block the electoral count, are not the sort of thing his opponents can be expected to get over.
