Trumpworld Rages Behind the Scenes
November 6, 2020 at 7:12 am EST By Taegan Goddard


“Senior White House and Trump campaign officials are complaining bitterly about poor internal communication, blaming colleagues, pondering what jobs they might try to get next year, and lashing out at their new enemy: Fox News,” Axios reports.

“Aides told Axios they’re dreading the prospect of Fox calling Pennsylvania for Joe Biden, which could make the conservative network the first to give Biden 270 electoral votes.”

Said one administration official: “When Bush had this issue they tapped arguably the pre-eminent statesman of his generation, James Baker, to spearhead their legal and PR efforts, to great effect. … We rolled out Rudy Giuliani, Corey Lewandowski and Pam Bondi. You can draw your own conclusions.”

I find it troubling that competent election thieves are basically getting kudos in hindsight from many of the media figures making these comparisons. Yes, not a bunch of bumbling idiots but trying for the same antidemocratic ends.

chimpy's "issue" was stealing the presidency from Al Gore. No bueno no matter how well-dressed and "respectable" the robbers.

Election theft is election theft. At least this time they won't get away with it.

8. what will Kimberly Guilfoyle do?

Will Kimberly still receive $180,000 salary from daddy Trump just because she is sonny Trumps concubine?

Will Kimberly move onto the next up-and-coming politician? (Gavin Newsom is blessed to having divorced her)

She could have been hanging on the arm of a man who may one day be president. jr NEVER would have been, instead he is going to jail.

It doesn't say much for Gavin's judge of women, but men are seldom run by the larger brain.

or so when he married Kimberly. Being a mid-30 year old bachelor from San Francisco at that time might not have been something he wanted on his résumé (sarcasm)

But his offspring served two terms.

Trump advisers are also venting at what they describe as a grossly incompetent post-Election Day operation. "I don't know what the message is," said one prominent surrogate who regularly appears on cable to defend Trump:

"There’s no organization or coordination. If I was to go on TV right now, I wouldn't know what the [blank] to say."

5. Baker wanted to count the votes...

...in one close state - just not the hanging chad votes in question.

This crowd wants to count some votes, not count others, in multiple states. Nobody sane is outraged by a normal vote tallying process.

When this is done Biden will be north of 300 EC votes.

Even a right wing court will not overturn that.

THAT is the best you've got. You might as well have used Tweedledum and Tweedledumber. They have no useful tasks on hand for the foreseeable future...until the sun goes supernova, say.
