'Never bet against me': Trump makes first post-election comments, lays out path to victory

"It's probably two weeks, three weeks" to know outcome, president says

"Never bet against me."

That's what President Trump told Washington Examiner reporter Byron York on Thursday, in his first post-election comments on the state of the 2020 presidential race.

Trump was optimistic, laying out a scenario in which he pulls out wins in key battleground states and gets to the magic number of 270 votes in the Electoral College.

"We're going to win Wisconsin," the president said in the exclusive phone interview. "Arizona – it'll be down to 8,000 votes, and if we can do an audit of the millions of votes, we'll find 8,000 votes easy. If we can do an audit, we'll be in good shape there."

"Georgia, we're going to win, because now, we're down to about 10,000, 11,000 votes, and we have hand-counting," he said, referring to a call by Georgia's secretary of state do perform a full audit on the election. "Hand-counting is the best. To do a spin of the machine doesn't mean anything. You pick up 10 votes. But when you hand-count – I think we're going to win Georgia."

Trump also presented a rosy view on North Carolina, where he leads by more than 70,000 votes. He predicts a win there unless, he said jokingly, "they happen to find a lot of votes. I said, 'When are they going to put in the new votes in North Carolina? When are they going to find a batch from Charlotte?' "

That leaves Pennsylvania (where Trump trails 60,000 votes) and Michigan (where he's behind by more than 145,000 votes).

The two big states," Trump said, adding, "They're all sort of big."

Trump then complained about the process in Pennsylvania.

"They wouldn't let our poll watchers and observers watch or observe," he said. "That's a big thing. They should throw those votes out that went through during those periods of time when [Trump observers] weren't there. We went to court, and the judge ordered [the observers] back, but that was after two days, and millions of votes could have gone through. Millions. And we're down 50,000," he said.

The president told York he has contemplated losing. "I'm a guy who realizes – five days ago, I thought, 'Maybe,'" he said. "But, now I see evidence, and we have hundreds of affidavits," referring to the testimony included in lawsuits by his campaign.

"When I asked him how quickly he might turn things around," York wrote, "he said, 'I don't know. It's probably two weeks, three weeks.'"

"He knows the situation. He has heard many people tell him it's over and time to concede. But at the very least, it is important for his most devoted supporters to see him fighting to stay in office. And he closed with a good-natured warning for everyone who has told him there is no hope: 'Never bet against me,'" York wrote.

“Vegas hasn’t paid out anything yet ... and they are sitting on millions.”

Excellent point. We should all keep an eye on this important indicator! Thanks!

Never thought it would come to this, but it is what it is. 2020 has taught me to roll with the GUT punches!

Can one still bet on this with those odds? Because even 20 bucks could turn into a nice pile of $$.

Yeah. It was so odd that the only thing Oswald got to say to the cameras was, "I'm just a patsy!" That's not what people say. They say "I didn't do it!"

"I'm just a patsy" is an admission of guilt, but calling out that you are a very low-level player.

Then there is the pristine bullet. Such bulls***.

Now that the light has been shown on how deep the Deep State goes, there is nothing that would surprise me, and it makes me quite convinced that this Deep State has been here long before I was born and will be here long after I die. There is no level of evil they will not stoop to.

I'm quite convinced that Trump will be assassinated, either as the next President or as a civilian.

Hopefully this is not like Bush’s “shock and awe”... that was a fizzle

It is written that there is no greater sacrifice than to lay down one’s life for another.

We may very well have to do such for the sake of our posterity and if it should come down to that: then so be it.

Absolutely!

May the forces of darkness that envelops the Democrat Party & Deep State panic in mass confusion & hysteria.

Louie Gomert said that they beat them to the servers in Germany and took them before they could get to them.

“There is no level of evil they will not stoop to.”

Heard Rep Louie Gomert say that he told Trump about the servers in Germany on an unsecure line and then the servers were taken before Trump’s people could get them.

I also heard that elements of our military took them.

Right now I don’t know where the truth is but its a big deal.

If and when massive fraud is PROVEN, state legislators can deny certification thereby throwing the decision into Congress where each state’s delegation has only ONE vote.

Legislatures do not certify elections. It's either the Secretary of State or a board of election canvassers or some other state agency. Once the certification is complete, whoever does it, then the electors are chosen.

The above is a statement based on what state legislators are discussing now, not a statement yet of decision, but one of capability.

The Republican leaders in all the states being challenged have all said that they will not step in and appoint a panel of electors.

In other words, there is a 2nd pathway that is under serious contemplation waiting on clear and unequivocal FRAUD proven to effect voter intent.

What we all suspect and what Trump has been able to prove are two different things. The success rate on his legal challenges so far has been pretty dismal.

My misapp ‘deny cert’ actually ‘fail to appoint electors’.

Yes, Republican legislative leaders, affected battleground states refuse to appoint electors, throw outcome into Congress.

Risk, Pelosi never schedules vote, Pelosi ascends.

Precedent, future elections unreliable, illegit, unaccepted.

Constitution fails.

Civil War.

As long as the military either stay out of it or at least doesn’t go against us... we in fly over country would win. Those city boys aren’t too smart when it comes to hunting
