GOP internal polling shows them losing and he is trying to discredit the results before the results come in.

(7,822 posts)Trump will be perfectly happy seeing Republicans lose the Senate. He wants to punish the Repubs who betrayed him by actually eventually accepting that Biden won. I also think it kinda kills him that the November Election didnt show America rejecting all Republicans, mainly just him.

(26,053 posts)was Mitch being "disloyal," but he is still in office and poised to become a greater political influence than Trump. Even if Mitch loses control of the Senate, he will still have some strength because the votes in the Senate will be so close. So Mitch will take over as a political power and Trump can't tolerate the challenge to his own influence.
With luck, Trump will take down Mitch for us and spare us the trouble. Imagine that. Trump doing something good for a change.

(55,334 posts)You'd have to assume that...
1. Trump is paying attention to someone else's polls
2. Trump is paying attention to someone else's election
3. Trump is capable of understanding what polls mean, and
4. Trump cares about consequences.
I think a better bet is that Trump is just barking at the moon again.

(15,675 posts)As an excuse on why he hasn't donated any of the $250,000,000 he's raised to fight his defeat (of which he gets to keep 75% of) to them... But I haven't seen a lot of republicans doing that...

(8,009 posts)Trump must have seen internal polling on the Senate races in Georgia showing the Republicans trailing as he is ranting about it being illegal and invalid.

(2,715 posts)Attention, Money, CYA. Those are his constant motives. It is all he understands.
Attention or money going to others is never his motive. He will attempt to draw campaign money till that is bled dry. Any money spent on a campaign that Trump cannot steal from is lost money. Since the same type of suckers who would donate to Trump might donate to Republicans in Georgia, Trump is against their campaigns.
Trump wants his followers to send him money and the tap will be closed soon enough. But if he make a crisis and sells it to his people, some may get arrested, some may die, and all of them will look like fools, but what is most important to Trump is that he will get attention and money.

(11,885 posts)Like he wants people to think happened in his election loss, and that it was rigged rather than accept the facts he and they are losers, and lost their elections fair and square. trump also looks bad after campaigning for them and them losing makes him look bad too now. trumps losing voters , something that'll hurt his ability to generate money from them, and that really is what upsets him the most. trumps a loser
