Donald Trump is about HIMSELF….
Not the Georgia US Senate runoff…..
The Governor told Trump he can’t throw the election….
Hours before he was scheduled to hold a rally in Georgia on behalf of the state’s two GOP senators, Trump pressed Kemp to call a special session of the state legislature for lawmakers to override the results and appoint electors who would back the president at the electoral college, according to two people familiar with the conversation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the private call.
Trump also asked the governor to demand an audit of signatures on mail ballots, something Kemp has previously noted he has no power to do. Kemp declined the president’s entreaty, according to the people….
Update….
A federal appeals court shot down a bid by a conservative lawyer to block President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in Georgia, handing down the latest setback for the sprawling legal effort to subvert the results of the Nov. 3 presidential race.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit said it supports the ruling of District Judge Steven Grimberg, a Trump appointee, who found that L. Lin Wood did not have the legal standing to sue over the results in Georgia, where Biden defeated President Trump by about 12,000 votes.

: If Republicans lose the Senate seats in Georgia, President Trump will be the main reason, and the main casualty will be his legacy

The Senate candidates have been shouted down ….
Reminds me of Lenin’s comment that British Communists should campaign for the British Labour Party (led by Arthur Henderson):
“…that, with my vote, I want to support Henderson in the same way as the rope supports a hanged man.”
“Left-Wing” Communism: an Infantile Disorder, Chapter 9
https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1920/lwc/ch09.htm
The full paragraph reads:
At present, British Communists very often find it hard even to approach the masses, and even to get a hearing from them. If I come out as a Communist and call upon them to vote for Henderson and against Lloyd George, they will certainly give me a hearing. And I shall be able to explain in a popular manner, not only why the Soviets are better than a parliament and why the dictatorship of the proletariat is better than the dictatorship of Churchill (disguised with the signboard of bourgeois “democracy”), but also that, with my vote, I want to support Henderson in the same way as the rope supports a hanged man—that the impending establishment of a government of the Hendersons will prove that I am right, will bring the masses over to my side, and will hasten the political death of the Hendersons and the Snowdens just as was the case with their kindred spirits in Russia and Germany.
Kinda scary, eh?
A signature audit of the presidential election results in a key Georgia County confirmed there was no fraud, the third review to confirm that President-elect Joe Biden won the Peach State in November.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) said in a press release that the review in Cobb County, which Biden won by over 14 percentage points, found that the election board there “a 99.99% accuracy rate in performing correct signature verification procedures.” ….

More than a week before President Trump called Georgia’s secretary of state, pressuring him to “find” votes to help overturn his electoral loss, the president made another call, this one to a top Georgia elections investigator, in which he asked the investigator to “find the fraud” in the state.
The earlier phone call, which Trump made in late December, was first reported by The Washington Post on Saturday. The contents of the Post report were verified by a state elections official who requested anonymity because the official was not authorized to speak about the matter.
In the December call, Trump said the investigator would be a “national hero” for finding evidence of fraud. The call occurred as Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger’s office was conducting an audit of more than 15,000 ballots in Cobb County, a populous suburb of Atlanta that was formerly a Republican stronghold but voted against Trump in both 2016 and 2020….
