      1. Trump's endgame strategy has been pretty explicitly outlined by him & his advisors: use early and incomplete vote count to declare victory, litigate in courts, drag it out & muddy the water. In other words, if not victory then delegitimize Biden victory.https://twitter.com/axios/status/1323042245579284490 …

      NEW: Trump denies that he plans to declare victory prematurely, before adding, "We're going to go in the night of, as soon as that election's over, we're going in with our lawyers." https://www.axios.com/trump-claim-election-victory-ballots-97eb12b9-5e35-402f-9ea3-0ccfb47f613f.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic&utm_content=1100 …

      Jeet Heer Retweeted Bill Kristol

      2. How to stop Trump from sabotaging the vote count? William Kristol suggest that GOP officials and former leaders like George W. Bush can help shame Trump into not doing this. The most generous to this idea is: are you fucking out of your mind?https://twitter.com/BillKristol/status/1322998784478109702 …

      Jeet Heer added,

      Bill KristolVerified account @BillKristol
      If Trump "claims" victory, media should debunk. But GOP elected officials, in relevant states and nationally, are key. They all need to say right away, "No. Let the votes be counted." And a George W. Bush statement saying no, let votes be counted, should be ready to go at once. https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1322987094093037575 …

      3. We've had 4 years of the vast majority of GOP officials sticking with Trump no matter what. And George W. Bush, despite rumored private grumblings, has done not one public act to repudiate Trump by name. Relying on this group to save American democracy is absurd.

      4. Others suggest that in a vote count sabotage scenario we rely on institutions like the courts and toughness of the Democratic party in fighting Trump. Which is more plausible than Bush Jr but consider this: 2000 election & Bush v. Gore.

          5. Here's a thought: if Trump does try to sabotage the vote count, Americans shouldn't rely on institutions that have effectively allowed Trump to run rampant. The only check to make those institutions work is mass protests.https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/trump-election-vote-count/ …

          Have you noticed that the answer to every Republican creates problem is always “good” Republicans? It’s never institutional. It’s never Democrats fighting like hell. It’s always “our best hope against Republicans is Republicans.”
