I own a great book called “Winning Florida” about the 2000 Election—the GOP had PLANELOADS of great attorneys flying around!
Also every day in 2000 there was a press conference, both sides. And courts were willing to look at evidence.
Big change in 2020. GOP totally shut out of all conversation; everything was “debunked” and “not widespread” and “false” and “misleading.” One side allowed to speak only. Courts refusing to look at evidence and ruling only on latches and standing.
Plus attorneys getting “cancelled” for representing Trump.
That is the problem
A lot of that was pure crap
The kill was the states that changed their own election laws, we needed a great legal team to put that together and got it to court on day 1 of the election, not three weeks later.
We did not have a workable winning plan, we had TV hack lawyers looking to write their next books doing interviews and destroying their own credibility.
We needed to focus on what was a winning point, change of election laws without the legislature was a winning point. Conjuring up Hugo Chavez’s ghost and releasing a mythical sea creature was not. It was stupid, I pointed out early on that this wasn’t going to win, it was all tin foil hat conspiracy nonsense. Something you would see on the Alex Jones channel, not something a presidential commission should tackle, even if this stuff was true it was going to take months if not years to put together a winning case.
The side show I believe was the trap, the distraction from the real issues and was used to dazzle Trump supporters away from the wonky legal stuff that was the win.
