I Believe That Trump is Playing the Long Game in Georgia
PJ Media ^ | 12/04/2020 | Rick Moran

Posted on 12/04/2020 7:13:11 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Donald Trump is not unaware that his attacks on Republican officeholders in Georgia are splitting the party down the middle. In fact, he’s counting on it.

Trump is already itching to get back at Joe Biden by running for president again in 2024. The few times that he’s deviated from his standard narrative that the election was stolen and that once all the evidence is in, he will be acclaimed winner, he’s made it clear that he’s running again.

As his legal options dwindle, we can expect Trump to lash out more viciously at Georgia Republicans. Does that mean that Trump wants the Democrats to win and take over the Senate?

Washington Examiner:

Trump has expressed regret about endorsing Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and has lashed out at Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, both Republicans who have refused to sow doubts about election results showing Democratic President-elect Joe Biden won their states by small margins. Trump carried both states in 2016.

“Why is he rushing to put a Democrat in office?” Trump demanded as Ducey discussed the swearing-in of newly elected Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly. “Especially when so many horrible things concerning voter fraud are being revealed at the hearing going on right now.”

Trump is going to continue with his fraud narrative until he gets what he wants: a Democratic Senate.

“There’s unquestionably real risk that he’s going to depress turnout in Georgia,” said Brendan Buck, who served as a top adviser to House Speaker Paul Ryan. “The question is how much, but these races are going to be close enough that it could potentially cost us the majority. You can only tell people elections don’t work for so long until they stop participating. It’s too early to say whether this will have any long-term consequences on GOP voter turnout, ”

I’m amazed at how people know what Trump (or anyone) will or will not do in the future.

[[[In 2024 Trump will be four years older and I suspect will have had it putting up with the absolute filth of politics. I think he would keep the Democrat/Left on their toes with the threat of doing so, but I’d be surprised if he did.]]]

Trump has a huge voting block to use against the GOPe. He could become a kingmaker of sorts. He could also control the direction of the GOP no matter how the election turns out. He could be his own shadow government even though I hate that term.

President Trump could retire to a life of ease and luxury.
Assuming, of course, the Democrats don’t try to arrest and destroy him and his family, of course.
I think we are seeing Founding Fathers level of courage, patriotism, skill, and persistence here.

Violating one constitutional provision is worth it to save the whole Constitution and our beloved Republic.

Kinda like destroying a village in order to save it? I reject that strategy.

There is no long game in any state. there are court cases, legislatures and the electoral college. Republicans either win or lose.

Agreed. This so-called RINO writer turned French and turned in the towel. Who says Trump lost?

As his legal options dwindle

I'm not sure that they've dwindled a-tall. If he wins some of the lower court lawsuits the Democrats would appeal to the Supreme Court anyway, so the strategy may be one of "Rope-a-dope" in the lower courts in order to get the cases to the Supreme Court before the Electoral College meets to determine the winner (or tie and go to the House).

Rick Moron does not get that rigged elections are a fools game.

We win this or we lose the country.

Next month the GA runoff will be held, using the same voting machines, the same rules, the same poll workers, and the same oversight (SOS) as the November election. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Blonde Braid Lady make another appearance.
The Dems will laugh as they rub our noses in another round of obvious fraud.
And this idiot will blame it on Trump.

The game is up Monday, Dec 14 th, when the members of the Electoral College cast their votes. Electors meet in their states and vote for president and VP.

But really, when certified Dec 8th, Safe Harbor Deadline date, its over.

All the battleground states have certified their votes for Biden, AZ, MI, WI, GA, PA, NV.

IF Trump fails to win this—a BIG IF, imho—he will have at minimum, in defeat, provided one of the greatest services to this country ; demonstrating massive D voter fraud. Legitimizing the election process.

Legislation follows to clean the system because proof continues to pour out over the course of 2021 and beyond. Voter ID, cleansed voter rolls, no mail-in voting, etc. will be demanded and passed.

That clears the way for an incontestable 2022 and the end of Ds control of the house.

This is a bunch of BS. Trump is either going to go big or go home. If Biden is allowed to take office there will never be a fair election again. Never a republican in the Whitehouse again. You think they will stop the fraud? No they will enhance it.

How is he going to win in 2024 if this fraudulent election is allowed to stand?

Who in their right mind would think the next election wouldn’t be stolen if this one stands?
