Trump is an idiot. He is calling on Republican Governors and such to denounce the election and say it was fraudulent. That is so stupid that it almost doesn’t bear discussion. But it does.
Here is why. What Trump is asking the Republicans to do is say. “Hi, you elected us to run a fair election, and we screwed it up. We incompetently mismanaged the entire affair so badly that we now have to say that the loser actually won because of our incompetence.“
How does any Republican get elected for any office more important than School Board Member in the next election? Seriously. Please reelect me, so I can continue to incompetently run the state? Seriously? Trump actually expects people to do that?
Suicide is not normally a good way to continue in power, and it is a terrible way for your party to maintain any advantage. Republicans in the Senate would be reduced to sitting in a corner and pouting when the Democrats ran the board in two more years.
There is an old image. Of the incompetent boss declaring that he doesn’t care how many heads are needed to prop up his chair. He is not losing no matter how many others do.
