This is NOT a good look, and elected politicians don't want to be seen on the same side of a president who is clearly trying to subvert the will of the people with obvious legal shenanigans.

If there is nothing to hide then investigations into the urban people’s creative vote counting should not be a problem.

It's just not . . . presidential to try to keep a state from counting legitimately cast votes.

Not good optics.

Thank you, Clara.

I am incensed that anyone would even consider attempting to disenfranchise the people who voted by mail in accordance with their state laws. Which is exactly what I did. My vote doesn't count? Bull****.

I know this may come as a shock to you but occasionally the candidate who actually WINS the popular vote is going to win a tight electoral college battle.

How do you know those votes are all legitimate? Do you work in the election offices of all those states?

As deranged as Democrats have been, would it surprise you if they cheated to win? Would Democrats even care that they had to cheat since they considered Trump so dangerous?

Not good optics.
—7 counties in Wisconsin have had more people vote than who live in the county.
—Wisconsin has a statistically impossible number of voters.
—Detroit has hundreds of registered dead voters, including someone born in the early 1800s.
—Fulton County told poll watchers to go home because they were done counting...and then proceeded to count.
—Maricopa County handed out sharpie markers, which don’t work on the ballots.


There are dozens upon dozen of more examples.

Trying to subvert an election is “not good optics” either.

Or maybe they're just rats jumping off a sinking ship, that's virtually underwater already. I think you're giving them too much credit.

Along those lines, I wonder what will happen to Trump's supporters if he isn't declared the winner when this is over.

I wonder if they will defect like "fair weather fans", who came to politics during his campaign and presidency. Will they be gone from their vocal activism? Or will they find the next candidate to get behind and remain interested in politics?

My guess is, largely, no. They weren't about the ideas, they were about the man and with him gone they'll be gone too.

And won't be as quick to admit they were a Trump voter in the years to come.

We'll see.
