Bryne’s near-contemporaneous accounts paint Rudy as “not on top of what had occurred.”
We need to quit eating our own and admit that on election eve, Election Day and after the election, President Trump was not on top of what was happening or what could be done about it. That is why he could not get concurrence with Pence as to what action, after fifteen other options might fail, Pence might resort to in a manner he could justify. That is why no ground work was laid for Pence to be the last resort.
Not only did Trump miss the boat, but Free Republic missed the boat. Conservative media missed the boat — in fact a good part of it torpedoed the boat after another part had held a Bon Voyage Party for the boat.
The State Republicans missed the boat. The prognosticators missed the boat. Ask LS if any of the countless prognosticators he was communication with foresaw what was happening in any sort of scale to what occurred.
We simply did not realize that the leftist establishment was ready to destroy the nation — we thought they were still working up to it.
[LS, I ping you as a courtesy as I referred to you by screen-name as an example of those that worked the election heavily.]
We “missed the boat”?
As in no one here knows who infamously said this?
“We have put together I think the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”
I think everyone saw the steal coming. There was no doubt, no question in anyone’s mind, liberal or conservative, of what was going to happen.
