      Even if this batshit argument somehow prevailed, Biden would still have more than 270 electoral college votes needed to win.https://twitter.com/fordm/status/1325938181372514305 …

      It's difficult to game out where this is going since Trump really doesn't have any plausible move to stop votes from being certified. Nor does Trump have infrastructure needed for a coup (army is not going to do it). So all that is left is delegitimizing election while losing

          I'd argue that delegitimizing the election and whipping their base up into anger and frenzy IS the end game for Republicans, not just Trump.

          Yes, not only does Trump need to maintain the perception that the election was stolen for whatever his post-Presidency grift will be but the Republican Party needs to maintain this perception because it cannot win national elections without Trump's base.

          This is why I pray they stick to the forlorn hope of lawsuits.
