Scoop: President Trump plans to brandish obituaries of people who supposedly voted but are dead — plus hold campaign-style rallies — in an effort to prolong his fight against apparent insurmountable election results, four Trump advisers tell me

Its all about the humor, and dead people voting makes for good jokes. Remember, ridicule is a powerful force in politics. His great legal team will take care of the compilation of hard evidence of massive voter fraud.
It’s technically weak but a good stunt. Maybe they’ll be someone named Methuselah, Jared, Noah.
Indeed. It’s a broad enough idea for the masses to “get.”
Carlin said it best:
“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
Printing obits is a dumb ploy.
We need the suspect software exposed in conclusive fashion. That’s the way to get to manual recounts going all over the country.
It’s not distraction, it’s persuasion. Examples like these everyone can understand.
Certainly the legal cases to be made will be much more detailed and widespread.
Trump’s a persuader. A damn good one he picked up 8 million more votes than in 2016 despite everything.
The rallies are to whip up public support for the overall strategy in winning this election. This gets people actually mocking the attempts to cheat.
Invade you didn’t notice he is being censored online and on television. This is his only way to communicate to his voters without there being a filter. This is brilliant . I can see many still think in the old ways. This is President Trump he does what he wants and he always beats these bastards and he will again.
The purpose is to put pressure on state legislators AND show how corrupt the election system is. The court effort is entirely different
Right, the court of public opinion must be won parallel to the real court.
It was organize and it’s not dumb. They prob mailed out so many ballots I wouldn’t be surprised if entire cemeteries voted.
Yay! He needs to do rallies every freaking day to show his popularity with the ppl. Forget the “nattering nabobs of negativity,” AKA the media, by going over their heads!
Didn’t you hear that President GW Bush (or was it his dead father) assured us that the vote count was just perfect? The same idiot that assured us, yessiree you can take it to the bank, that there were WMDs in Iraq and that old Saddam Hussein had met with AlQaeda in Baghdad to plot 9/11.
How many times/places did RBG vote in November?
I think it's brilliant. He's doing an end run around the media, going directly to the people.
How horrible that the tech lords are telling us we have to buy a voice from them. .
I just read on MSN, the landing page on my PC, that Trump is alone in the WH, walking the halls and talking to the pictures like Nixon, and Melania and Jared are trying to convince him to find an exit strategy while other advisers are telling him to dig in and fight. Like how the hell do these ppl know anything about what he’s thinking and doing and saying!!??! I can’t wait for victory so he can shut these evil ppl down!
Carlin was a genius.
Seems intentional. How does a dead person generate and cast a ballot?
“Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio; a fellow of infinate jest, of most excellent fancy; he hath borne me on his back a thousand times.”
Trump looked pretty relaxed on the GC this w/e.
The overwhelming narrative being pushed in the media and by the tech companies is that there is no proof of fraud and election fraud isn’t a thing. By generating a list of obituaries and absentee ballot requests, it moves the needle from “there is no fraud” to “yeah, okay, there was some fraud... but it’s so rare it never makes a difference.”
That is now a testable hypothesis and it changes the media narrative. It’s also a visual proof that something funny is going on, and visuals are important in the TV age. It also changes the legal burden to the states to, if they are going to try to be honest, validate their voter rolls against ballots received.
I hear the Dems might try and run McClellan again ;-)
