yeah so all that jazz didn't work when Trump was the actual sitting President and had actual awesome Presidential powers because: our form of government has constraints on Presidential power. he's a President, not a dictator. well right now he's not a sitting President, he's just a party nominee he has no actual power over the federal government. so explain to me how they succeed this time around, let alone even try.
For me, the trying in 2020 is the issue. Not even so much the lawsuits. We saw lawsuits in 2000. Sometimes you have to go to court. But after 60 cases where only 1 got a ruling in his favor, it was over.
It was more that when everything else completely failed, and it was clear that he lost, he continued to push. The fake slate of electors. Pressuring Pence to not certify. Pressuring Republican lawmakers to try to contest the electors. Pressuring for ANYTHING that would throw the election into the HoR.
And then when all that failed, just making a few statements that suggested the rally attendees that he just happened to assemble not far from the Capitol, the wonderful patriots who had assembled gallows to hang Mike Pence, go down there to the Capitol and "if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country any more".
And then has spent the last 4 years continuing to claim the election is stolen. And when asked, in the national debate, if he'd accept the results of the election, said “If it's a fair and legal and good election, absolutely.” Which, for anyone who knows Trump, knows that means "If I win, I'll accept it. If I don't, it must not be fair and legal." Just like Trump was stating a couple weeks ago how wonderful his poll numbers were looking, because he was ahead, but now he and Vance are claiming that all the polls are fake, because they're not.
