It’s getting more ridiculous by the day.
“Trump on Wednesday demanded an “OVERTURN’ of the outcome in a collection of tweets arguing he could only have lost the election if it were ‘FIXED.’ He attempted to support his case by saying odds-makers on election night heavily favored his reelection, ‘the so-called ‘bookies,’ as if a gambler’s bet mattered,”
The Associated Press reported on December 9, 2020 (read story here).
Yep, the fact that bookies bet on his winning is what he’s waving in the court of public opinion; that’s his “proof” the election was “rigged” against him (his word). This might fly with people who just got off a spaceship after being kidnapped by aliens, but to normal people it sounds like the last desperate cry of someone drowning in hubris.
Proof it wasn’t: The meticulous vote-counting procedures of all states, plus careful recounts of disputed returns in key states. Not to be overlooked: The fact 81 million-plus Americans just said with their votes they can’t stand this guy.
Yes, those people actually exist; not everyone in this country is a Trump-loving freak. (I saw exactly one Trump yard sign in my neighborhood; you couldn’t count the Biden signs, there were so many, most pleading for an “adult” to run this country again.)
