Is Donald Trump Mired in the Past for Harping on His 2020 Election Loss?
PJ Media ^ | 01/16/2022 | Rick Moran

Posted on 01/16/2022 4:36:34 PM PST by SeekAndFind

Former President Donald Trump kicked off his rally in Arizona on Saturday night by reciting what has become a litany of claims about the 2020 election.

“The fake news and the lamestream media … they refused to talk about it,” Trump said of his election claims. “They say, ‘well it is unsubstantiated and the big lie. ‘The big lie.’ The big lie is a lot of bulls**t. That’s what it is.”

Whenever speaking in public, Trump never misses an opportunity to skewer the “fake media” and their unwavering faith in Joe Biden’s election victory. But some in the Republican Party wish Trump would stop hanging on to the past and start talking about the future. They point out that successful political parties in America rarely, if ever, win elections by replaying past contests.

But Trump can’t let go of the past. In fact, his narrative about how the 2020 election was “stolen” from him has become a part of his political identity. And he’s going to need the resentment and anger the 2020 election generates in millions of Republicans to win the GOP nomination in 2024.

It’s significant that Trump chose Arizona to kick off his campaign to help the GOP take over the House and Senate. Arizona was ground zero for the “Stop the Steal” movement after Trump was edged out by Biden in 2020 by 10,000 votes. A bizarre and ultimately fruitless effort to uncover fraud in Arizona proved a waste of time. Biden was still declared the winner.

Blankety blank it. Let us ask the questions of public officials and voting staff. Let us investigate irregularities in counting. Then see the truth emerge. But no, they ostracize us and cancel us and defund us for asking about it.

What are they hiding?

Moran, you Moron, give it up.

You LOST.

No conservative in their right mind CARES WHAT YOU THINK.

Yeah, President Trump is making a mistake in wanting to see some justice happen in the last election. WOULDN’T YOU??

As for his not connecting with people, LOOK AT LAST NIGHT’S RALLY.

You have to be blind or dirt stupid to think President Trump has to change.

John Locke wrote that a rebuttal is required lest victory be “adjudged not to him who had the truth on his side, but by he who had the last word.”

What Trump should say at his rallies after talking about the vote fraud, is that his supporters should become involved in their local political parties, both R and D, and to sign up to be poll watchers, vote counters, etc. Then their heads would really explode.

No! Watched the rally, and specifically noted how happy I was Trump was doubling down on the CHEAT! Shout it loudly and often!

Someday, the truth will be common knowledge. Probably not in our lifetime, but our children and grandchildren, etc., will remember what we patriots said about the 2020 election.

Joe Biden got elected, but the way it was done was certainly illegitimate & I think that was evident to most citizens. And now it is for ALL to see how his presidency is turning out.

Nice try, but NO. He was just stating the facts of the past. It is not heard on the Drive By Media so Trump states the facts. Just a reminder of what happened. Less we forget.

“It doesn’t matter if we cheated Let’s just move on.” Not gonna happen. You don’t just forget about swindling more than 74 million voters out of their fundamental civil right. You punish the bastards that did it if you have to chase them all of the rest of their miserable little lives.
