Gonna be some leaks I’d bet….
Gonna be some ‘getting even’ coming…..
Donald Trump was NEVER about anybody but himself….
Trump World people gonna be win their own….
Proper…..
Sources close to the White House said some senior officials inside the White House and the campaign are beginning to quietly back away from Trump, in acts of self-preservation, as the returns in Pennsylvania and Georgia indicate the President will not win reelection.
“It’s over,” one key adviser to the administration said of the race. The adviser went on to say there are concerns about what Trump will do, beyond the question of whether he will concede the race.
“God. Who knows,” the adviser said when asked what Trump might do next, conceding there were multiple officials in the campaign and the White House who were shaking their heads after Trump’s litany of false statements Thursday evening in the White House briefing room.
Some in the campaign, the adviser said, questioned the Trump team’s decision to dispatch the likes of Rudy Giuliani and Trump’s sons to make unfounded allegations of voter fraud, arguing that likely diminished the president’s claims of wrongdoing. The adviser said Trump is well within his rights to contest the election results but is going about it in exactly the wrong way.
A separate adviser to the campaign described Trump as increasingly isolated in his claims of a stolen election. “He is mostly alone here,” the adviser said of Trump’s claims of voter fraud.
The sources noted, however, there are still some aides and allies around the president telling him what he wants to hear. That will keep the drama going, the sources added…..

From the Associated Press….
“Trumps better than expected showing on Election Day ensures that he will remain the Republican Party’s most powerful voice for years to come even if he loses.”
This idea ,that two posters here propagate , that Trump will simply fade away after defeat appears not to be the general consensus among those in the political world .

It’s almost the worst case scenario for Republicans. When he’s not on the ballot down ballot Republicans tend to do worse in suburban districts ironically.
Trumpism still in the GOP without Trump on the ticket is going to be a headache for them.
jamesb says
The pollsters got the suburb thing right…
And Trump made it worst….
He NEVER tried to reach past his base…
But Democrats ARE gonna have figure out a way to gain traction with in the down ballot races or they will lose more House seats and repeat the 2010 midterm beatdown
jamesb says
I disagree on Donald Trump being a power going forward…..
He IS a ‘loser’…..
Rightwingnutism WILL persist….
But it will be competing with Biden trying to install some compromise ….
One would think that GOPer’s are gonna have to make some deals regardless….
Right and Left wingnuts could be in for some rough times
My Name Is Jack says
Right Wing goof Tucker Carlson told his audience last night that Joe Biden is going to require everyone to drink Starbucks.
NeverTrumper Steve Schmidt said yesterday that Carlson will be the Republican nominee in 2024.
Scott P says
Fine with me.
Unlike Trump who had decades of press depiction as a swaggering billionaire Carlson is just an unknown right wing twerp.
All of the craziness with reduced appeal to those who are drawn out to vote by “machismo”
My Name Is Jack says
Yeah, Carlson certainly has little “ machismo.”
Indeed he comes across more as a loud mouthed wimp.
jamesb says
We’ll see how Fox deals with a new reality in the American government….
One would think they will move slightly left as they appear to be doing moving away form somewhat in Trump losing…
jamesb says
BTW Jack?
Seems the old Lindsey seems to coming back…
ALREADY….
He’s talking about not breaking Biden’s balls on cabinet ok’s…
I’ll have more on this later…
My Name Is Jack says
Anyone who trusts the likes of Lindsay Graham is a damn fool.
His words are worthless.He lies almost as well as Trump does.
So if the shoe fits?
Wear it!
My Name Is Jack says
I see almost no evidence that they are moving “left” in any way.
Your naïveté is well known here.
Biden is in for four years of pure Hell from the Republicans in Congress and certainly will receive no quarter from Fox News.

…Trump KNOWS...
Apart from a few die-hards, most people close to President Trump know the race is over — but no one wants to be the sacrificial lamb who tells him to concede, people familiar with their thinking tell me.
Why it matters: Trump’s long-shot legal war, aimed at preventing him from being the first one-term president in 28 years, is being enabled by active supporters — and a lot of passive appeasement.
What we’re hearing: Top Trump advisers sat the president down at the White House on Saturday and walked him through the “options for success,” a campaign official tells me.
The official added that they made clear to Trump the likely outcome of waging these legal battles, but he was firm that he wants to forge ahead anyway.
One source who recently spoke to the president tells Axios’ Jonathan Swan that even Trump has discussed the possibility of not winning. He has accepted that losing may be an outcome but insists on pursuing what he claims is mass fraud…
