Lot of Trump campaign insider stuff leaking out today on the eve of Election day, eh?
And?
Trump & Co. pull out the 2020 election LOSS playbook to use?
Ah?
THAT got people jail time and lawyers fines and judical rebukes across the country and didn’t turn over much of ANYTHING….
Michael Tomasky: “Over the weekend, The Atlantic published a devastating piece by Tim Alberta about the infighting in the campaign. You really should read it if you haven’t, it’s full of stunning details. The bottom line is as you might guess: The chaos emanates from the top.”
“But the most interesting thing about the Alberta piece is not any specific anecdote that appears in it. The most interesting thing about the Alberta piece is that it exists at all. That is to say, that all these key players in a presidential campaign are taking time out in the last month of the race (assuming that Alberta has been reporting the piece out for a little while) to gripe to a reporter instead of sticking to doing their jobs. It’s insane.”
“And you know what else it is? A sign that they’re preparing for a loss.”

Marc Caputo: “Donald Trump doesn’t admit to mistakes, but he knew he made one Sunday morning.”
“For 96 minutes, at his first of his three rallies that day, Trump barely looked at his teleprompter. He darkly obsessed about election fraud, railed against polls showing him down, and savaged the ‘bloodsuckers’ in the news media, adding he wouldn’t mind if ‘the fake news’ took an assassin’s bullet for him.”
“The crowd laughed. Privately, campaign staffers groaned. Trump sounded as if he were losing. And this was no way to start the week or close out a presidential campaign with three days left until Election Day.”
Said one confidant: “He knew after he got off stage.”

Politico: “Of the 93 Republicans designated as prospective presidential electors for Trump from the seven battleground states, eight are facing felony charges for signing false Electoral College certificates in 2020.”
“Another five signed similar certificates in 2020 but were not charged. And at least six others played notable roles in challenging the results of the 2020 election or promoting election conspiracy theories.”

“Donald Trump, who blamed his 2020 defeat on false claims of vast election malfeasance, has spent much of the final week of his third presidential campaign trying to discredit the legitimacy of this year’s election,” the Washington Post reports.
“His latest unsubstantiated claims could set the stage for an attempt to fight a potential loss not only in the courts but also by spreading falsehoods about the nation’s election systems. The former president and his allies have produced no evidence of widespread fraud or Democratic attempts to rig this election or the previous one, which he lost to Joe Biden.”
“Election officials who have spent four years dealing with the fallout of his 2020 falsehoods fear his latest claims could lead to violence.
