Trump wants the vote stopped now because

Saw on Twitter people mocking Trump because he tweeted “stop the vote” which would mean Biden would win with 270.
It’s my belief he knows this is over and Pennsylvania and Georgia are gonna flip. He’s thinking to 2024 where if he were to lose just barely there’s zero chance he’s not the nominee if he’s not in prison. But if Biden goes north of 300 EV and wins the popular vote by 5 or 6 million he’s wounded and won’t be a sure thing for 2024.
Or I might be over thinking it and he’s too stupid to realize stopping gives it to Biden😂

Nah. The GOP won't make the same mistake twice. Trump only won the primary in 2016 because there were too many people in the race for too long and they split the roughly 70% anti-Trump vote. They won't do that again.

Watch them start bailing on him within a week of the official loss. Some already are.

If the count stops, we don't know the real answer, then he can say he won because we don't know.

The Republicans will not make that mistake twice. When Trump leaves the Whitehouse, life as he knows it, is over and he knows it. Within months of his departure, all of his old hangers-on will be going "Donald Who?" If he can't pull out a miracle, you can sharpen your fork.
