THAT is gonna be a tough one…..
Donald Trump is NOT gonna want let his alternate reality go…..
President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner has tried to talk him into conceding the election, CNN reported late Saturday.
The network, citing two sources, said that Kushner, a top White House advisor, broached the subject with the president following Joe Biden’s victory earlier in the day.
The move came after Trump refused to concede in the minutes after the election was called by the major networks — insisting that “this election is far from over” and claiming that Biden was “rushing to falsely pose as the winner” after Pennsylvania was called for the Democrat.
“I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands,” Trump said in a statement just before noon, promising the campaign’s legal battle against supposed “fraud” would begin in earnest Monday.
Trump’s team has so far been largely unsuccessful bringing court challenges to how the votes have been tallied in several states….

My Name Is Jack says
Lindsay Graham isn’t ready to concede.
He wants Trump to keep “fighting.l
Presumably lies and frivolous lawsuits mean “fighting” to Lindsay.
jamesb says
That IS for Trump’s eyes Jack
He has already said Biden deserves his cabinet picks…
My Name Is Jack says
Naievete
My Name Is Jack says
Graham is also claiming he has an affidavit from a postal worker who claims that he saw postal employees backdating mail ballots.
So why exactly does Lindsay need to placate Trump?
jamesb says
Seventy Five Days?….
My Name Is Jack says
Graham also claims he has evidence that 15 dead people voted in Pennsylvania.
My Name Is Jack says
Meanwhile the Republican gown up in the room ,Mitt Romney, forthrightly declared that he had seen no evidence of anything that would change the results of the election and ,in a very nice way, called Trump a Liar.
jamesb says
Few GOPer’s differ from Romney
Mostly it’s full vote count bs…
Biden IS at 306 with THAT…
My Name Is Jack says
Political Wire says that Kushner HAS NOT talked to Trump about conceding.
Indeed he wants him to continue pursuing legal remedies.
That sounds much more like Kushner who is almost as power mad as Trump.

Bull Shit Jack….

First Lady Melania Trump has joined the growing chorus of President Trump’s inner circle advising him the time has come for him to accept the loss, a source familiar with the conversations tells CNN….
…
I do NOT KNOW….
But I’d bet that there IS a full court press to get a man in fantasy land to come down to reality and ACCEPT that he LOST instead going out looking like sore losing punk….
There IS gonna a be more of this EVERYDAY….
Tomorrow is supposed to be the lawyers….
lets see if we get ‘leaked’ reports that lawyers are telling Trump world we don’t have e a prayer but we’ll take ur money….
jamesb says
And the sooner this is over?
The sooner Melania can leave the cheating husband of her’s and get some spending money…
She already has her parents here….
My Name Is Jack says
Oh Hell if Trump or anybody else pays them lawyers will take his money and put up a case of sorts.
Ant damn fool know that.
Now if he doesn’t have the money?
bdog says
He got 500 K from Lindsey at least to fight the legal battle…that is about 50 billable hours for one high priced Washington lawyer???
Where did a Senator get that kind of money…lol…certainly is a good business to be a senator…just saying…
jamesb says
This is window dressing….
Graham will working in a tight majority and talking to Biden and McConnell…
75 days….
Probably Not that long….
Things ARE gonna change ….
Bet on it….
Republicans gonna want things….
My Name Is Jack says
Biden is in a rough fight with Republicans.
As for your comment?
We all know of your naievete as regards Republicans.
jamesb says
If there IS anyone that can work to make the American political system get back to working with some sort of bigger compromise?
It’s ole’ Joe Biden….

Pat Robertson on the 700 Club this morning said that as far as he’s concerned, Donald Trump won the presidential election but Trump’s lawyers should have made their challenges earlier, before Election Day.
I didn’t hear his whole spiel, but he began by enumerating the innocent and unavoidable irregularities such as dead people on the rolls or registered in two states (and allegedly voting). Anyone who’s walked a precinct,taken the Census or used a telephone directory know that kind of thing is inevitable but almost entirely harmless because people have a habit of moving, marrying, changing a maiden or marital name, dying, or sharing a name with their parents — all without necessarily taking the trouble to cancel their previous driver’s license, telephone listing or voting registration.
You have to show a lot more than that to demonstrate actual election fraud, or mistakes so great as to invalidate the first declaration, And almost every state, commonwealth or district has a formal regular process of auditing and then canvassing the initial returns before they become official and final.
jamesb says
Pat Robertson can say what ever he wants…..
It’s up to us the American voter…
NOT HIM….
