President Donald Trump declared Wednesday on Twitter, "WE WILL WIN!"
But, in fact, the president has no clear endgame to actually win the election - and, in an indication he may be starting to come to terms with his loss, he is talking privately about running again in 2024.
Trump aides, advisers and allies said there is no grand strategy to reverse the election results, which show President-elect Joe Biden with a majority of electoral college votes, as well as a 5 million-vote lead in the national popular vote.
Asked about Trump's ultimate plan, one senior administration official chuckled and said, "You're giving everybody way too much credit right now."
Republican officials have scrambled nationwide to produce evidence of widespread voter fraud that could bolster the Trump campaign's legal challenges, but no such evidence has surfaced.
Still, the absence of evidence and of a comprehensive and realistic plan to overcome Trump's significant deficit and secure him a second term have not stopped some of the leading figures in the administration and the Republican Party from amplifying the president's misinformation about the election outcome.
Trump has been spending his days largely on the phone, calling advisers, allies and friends. The president has been "trying to find people who will give him good news," one adviser said.
That official, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to candidly recount sensitive internal conversations.

Unnamed source BS designed to demoralize us.

Who are these “Aides”?
Fake News.
Who said this?
Some nameless “aid”?
That translates to “the fake news reporter has made up a story”.
Oh, noes!!!
Up until I read this fantastic article, I was very encouraged, but now, I am suicidal.
Someone, please send me some money to buy some 'Louis XIII Cognac' at about 3 grand per bottle.
I've set up a 'Go Have fun With Me' account, and if I receive enough money, I will invite the 'big donors' for a drink:)
Hell, we might as have a few giggles while we are plowing through this morass of cheating.
Exactly.
Those would be the anonymous aides, right?
“That official, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to candidly recount sensitive internal conversations.”
In other words, they are shitbag leakers.

The electoral college has not even met.
The United States Electoral College is the group of presidential electors required by the Constitution to form every four years for the sole purpose of electing the president and vice president. Each state appoints electors according to its legislature, equal in number to its congressional delegation but federal office holders cannot be electors. Of the current 538 electors, an absolute majority of 270 or more electoral votes is required to elect the president and vice president. If no candidate achieves an absolute majority there, a contingent election is held by the U.S. Congress to elect the president and vice president.
“Unnamed Aides”...sources...people familiar with the matter...Elvis’ ghost...the Magic 8 Ball...
Hilarious. “no such evidence (of fraud) has surfaced”.
Last I looked we hold the state legislatures.
Hope I’m wrong, but if there were *proveable* widespread fraud, I feel we would’ve seen some action last week.
Keep your powder dry.
