Dejected Trump continues to waffle over waging baseless election fight
CNN ^ | Nov. 12, 2020 | Kaitlan Collins, Kevin Liptak and Jim Acosta

(CNN)How much longer President Donald Trump continues waging battle over an election he lost remained in question Thursday as more of his advisers voiced doubt his gambit to contest the results would succeed. One person who spoke to him called him "dejected" over the ordeal.

Trump himself was waffling by the hour and day between a pugilistic desire to keep fighting and a more resigned attitude that his efforts will ultimately fail, people who spoke to him said.

None said they believed a full-blown concession was imminent, or likely to ever materialize. Some people close to the situation pointed to November 20 -- the certification deadline in Georgia, where a hand recount has been ordered -- as a potential end-date. Others said the unpredictable President could chose to pull the plug sooner.

But surveyed by CNN, nearly everyone close to Trump said they believed it was only a matter of time before he finds some way to acknowledge he will not be president come January 20 -- and said he was likely to pin blame on his baseless claims of a rigged election.

Just in the last day, Trump's informal campaign adviser, a religious ally, a Republican governor and conservative media personalities have all come out to say the election was won by Biden and that Trump should begin moving on. Inside the White House, the current period has taken on the feeling of interregnum, as staffers feel obliged to continue their work and even celebrate Trump's perceived victory while the President largely discontinues his own official tasks.

It took two writers and Jim Acosta to scribble this drivel.

LOL. You have to give credit to CNN headline writers. They really can make up the most fantastical fairytale headlines, completely devoid of reality.

In April 2020, one of these authors, Ms Collins, questioned the President about his claim of total authority to manage social distancing restrictions related to the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19. At a White House press briefing later in April 2020, Collins refused to comply with an order by a White House official to exchange a seat closer to the front of the assigned press corp seating with another reporter representing a different news outlet seated in the rear (the other reporter likewise refusing to comply with the order for the seat swap.) Collins’ assigned seat was on the front row, where correspondents representing major networks like CNN, NBC, and others had been assigned seating in the briefing room under social distancing protocol, under a plan managed by the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) and agreed to by White House officials the previous month. Collins’ refusal to comply with the order issued by the White House official prompted that official to suggest that Secret Service may be summoned, a development that ultimately did not unfold.

Rule of thumb. The more writers the deeper the manure they pile on.

What? Right in the article it says “none say a concession is likely.” I guess they figure people will just look at the headline....

Acosta can’t write a bullshit article without help from 2 other people? (Sorry, couldn’t bring myself to read it, just ass-ssuming it is bullshit).
