Let that sink in. But while you do, I want to ponder why John, Paul, Scott and Steve feel it is cricket… NOT to condemn Trump’s baseless attacks on democracy — on counting all votes. Rick Santorum, and many other righties are now saying Trump’s remarks tonight deeply threaten harm to specific honorable elections workers, nationwide, and certainly injure the core American ideals of peaceful transfers of power, by democratic vote. They are right.
Crickets from John — about this nation’s liberty — and fairness — which gave him all the wealth and stature he once enjoyed. Crickets. That. Is… Tragic.
Now, as to the quibbling matters….
As to his small points, I won’t bother to be non-plussed… John is clearly, and plainly… lying about what he saw. That’s on whether Trump made statements without any evidence. He did exactly that, in alleging five states’ wide frauds — but magically, in Arizona, where he was furious that Fox called it early for Biden — he flat out said he can still win, so there must now be no fraud there.
Mind-numbing. Moreover, as to fraud — if Democrats had a grand conspiracy to rub Trump off the map, why oh why would they do so terribly at preventing what now look to be GOP Senate seats / races from falling out of Democratic hands? Wouldn’t the Democrats have engineered the loss of McConnell and Graham?
How can they be so surgically perfect in dropping Trump by fairly small margins in four states, while missing out on all the down ballot opportunities they had?!
Occam’s Razor has the obvious answer: there was / is no system wide fraud — but there is abiding hatred for Trump, and apparently in many GOP strongholds, too — where locals remained loyal GOP voters, except that they abandoned… Trump.
That’s the dank, bitter pill of truth — and all the Powerline boys are twisting themselves in pretzels, to try to avoid admitting it.
Onward, grinning — if there are two Georgia runoffs for the Senate seats there, I expect we will see come January that Democrats get those two Senate seats… and newly minted President Biden might just have both chambers in friendly hands, like Mr. Obama did — by January 2010.
Buckle up.
Powerline Lies...
