question everything

Even if he could have reversed GA, Biden would still have more than 270

So what would he gain? Vanity that the 2020 results were not the exact reverse of 2016?

Or was he hoping for “a Domino Effect” where GA would be the first?

And why am I looking for any reason to his actions?

Will we discover tomorrow that there are several states with false electors in the wings?

He has nothing else to do besides tweet and play golf.

It's not like he is worried about covid or anything else going on.

He said late in the call that he'd actually won "all the states" so he's operating on full-on delusion at this point.

...it reinforces the crazy fraud claims.
Georgia reverses, the race is closer in the EC, and the "I was robbed" theme gains credence.
That's more important to him than the actual job of president.

the domino effect sounds good to me. Maybe he even has a state that will gladly follow if someone else goes first. They are Republicans.
