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.

No words is my first take as well. Total BS and no connection to what we know about Pres Trump. I speculate about what the people who voted for the commie dems will do if this voter fraud puts Dementia Biden in office and they will be living under the new govt that uses blunt force to make them conform to whatever they decree is now law. The stealing of this govt, that could only take place with a massive influx of money and planning by the Deep State, will be the least of what will be done to the ordinary citizens of this country. Trump has the resources to continue his life in better circumstances than he has accepted while President. He is the only bulwark between the citizens and the globalists who lust for domain over this Republic. The Trump voters and supporters are still with him and trust his decisions on how to handle this obvious attack on our constitutional Republic.

Has a single state certified their results? I don’t think so....

If the states certify and the courts decide, most Americans will go along with results. Note: I did not say which states, which votes, or which courts.

Americans are fair minded people. Not the nuts on TV, but the people on the street.

These guys need to relax a little and let the process run. December 14th is the election. Lets all keep that in mind.

Trump was so dejected he gave a bride away and went golfing the day after the election.

I wish I had chutzpah like that. Love the man.

One of the things that really made me hate CNN was their editorializing of the news (An “angry” Trump was seen...A “furious” Trump... a “raging” Trump...You get it.)

I still watch Laura and Tucker and Sean. Usually on Youtube, but I don’t like Youtube either.

The mad dog media is on steroids with the fake Noos because

they know Trump 2.0 is taking off the gloves, there WILL be legislation to rein them in, and

in their current frothing at the mouth desperation the hole they are digging to justify that action is getting deeper and deeper

They are poised to kill to keep the so called Biden win

But surveyed by CNN, nearly everyone close to Trump said....

What a joke, no one anywhere near Trump would talk to CNN.

Yet CNN claims they have surveyed nearly everyone close to Trump.

A Dejected Biden knows the inevitable, and is laying low some people say- He knows the election is a fraud, and that massive corruption put him in the lead, some people say, and so he is preparing for his concession speech in the basement of his house, some people say

See how that works?

Would Al Gore give up after only nine days?

Would Al Gore give up before the initial counting stopped?

Could we have some John Belushi spirit please!
