(8,103 posts)I don't subscribe to the "stable genius" posit. But, he isn't sitting up there alone. He just hired a new guy, too. And, I do believe that he isn't a moron like his sons appear to be. I think any cornered rat will commence to think about how to get out of the corner. Moreover, all those defecting Repubs will come right back to the ship if they think it will fly.
Here's a link to how it might work:

I am not advocating this would happen. I am merely saying that he isn't done, and to not be disappointed or shocked if he comes up with something. And, it's not like he has to invent anything. He has many of the pieces of the puzzle, and if he were to succeed in stopping Joe from collecting the 270, look what would happen!
Just saying. I'm not trying to ruin anyone's celebration. But even if the lower courts all turn him down, he still can appeal to the SC. And, we set a precedent there through Bush v. Gore. In Bush v. Gore, Bush already had the majority of the 270, and a Gore victory in Florida would have taken that away. So, when Bush ended up with more than Gore, and the time was up, then that's when Bush won.
So, there's always that safety valve. I believe Joe has more. But, he doesn't have it all yet, and I believe that Trump plans on heaping everything, all the cases, at the feet of HIS SC.
That's all I'm saying.
