Trump's Legal Path to Overturn the Election Results Appears 100 Percent Dead

With an overwhelming number of losses and withdrawals of cases, there is no path for the Trump campaign to overturn the results in a single state, much less states making up more than 36 electoral college votes.

It’s over. Trump may still say he has won the election. But there is no path. Even the two key federal cases in Pennsylvania do not involve nearly enough votes to overturn the results there even if they were successful (and I don’t expect them to be).

There is no path. Rudy Giuliani can say what he wants and the President can keep declaring that he’s won, but there’s no plausible legal way this election gets overturned.

We are not talking three Hail Marys anymore. We are talking done.

He knew before the election was called. It is all about extracting more money from his rubes, er, followers.

One last time to stick it to the Democrats. Come around Feb. they are going to have legislation that they want to get through for their rich buddies, then the shoe will be on the other foot. I wouldn't let the Senate pass a bill to refill the empty toilet paper holders in the Senate restrooms. Cooperation, working together? Hell no, that ship has sailed.
