Fmr Obama Campaign Manager Messina: GOP ‘Changing the Rules’ in the Middle of Election
Breitbart ^ | 3 Apr 2024 | PAM KEY

Posted on 04/03/2024 6:33:44 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Former Obama 2012 campaign manager Jim Messina said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that Republicans would be “changing the rules” in the middle of an election when discussing former President Donald Trump and Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen calling on the state legislature to assign it’s Electoral College votes with the winner-take-all standard.

Co-host Jonathan Lemire said, “If that changes and we don’t know that it will, the state legislature is going to look at it, but if that changes, that takes away Biden’s best path to win because if you get, if he wins Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, then loses the other swing states and no longer picks up the one in, Nebraska that’s 269.”

Messina said, “This is what the modern Republican Party has become, they’re now changing the rules in the middle trying to benefit themselves. This is the hell that Donald Trump hath wrought.”

He continued, “In the middle of this changing the rules 200 days before the election is ridiculous. I think you’re right. I think there are real simulation problems when you look at the map, that one electoral vote really matters in the combination of other things. Then you need another state. The easiest pathway to victory has always been the Midwestern three states combined with Nebraska.”

I was thinking along similar lines - they’re pissed when you play their strategy.

The Democrats changed voting rules illegally in 2020 (changes were NOT authorized by the various state legislatures).

The rules changes the Nebraska Republicans are trying to implement will be done legally.

F*gboy Jimmy is crying unfair. But it’s perfectly fair to tie your opponent up in lawsuits based on bogus charges, seize his properties, bankrupt him, throw him in jail for “treason”….all to prevent him from running against Jimmy’s candidate.

And I understand that a lot of the changes made in swing states in 2020 were in contravention of state CONSTITUTIONS.

States get to decide how they allocate votes. I’m betting he hasn’t objected to blue states who have tried to allocate their EC votes to the national winner regardless of how their state actually votes …

They are upset that they will have to cheat harder in a state that they have not set up a strong cheating apparatus in yet.
