deliver the facts and their case. I get your point, though.

Many millions have made bad mistakes. Our country wouldn't be the first. History teaches that numbers alone don't confer good judgment, even while the erring populations are still alive.

This isn't about counting chads, or which bullies prevail, or which vision for America wins. America is about providing the free space for doing all that.

This whole case has everything to do with upholding his supporters' freedom to have clear and unencumbered elections and equally applied constitutional protections. That's a structural issue and not a matter of opinion, like a vote.

I think they know that. If not, they'll have a good while for the FBI's findings to sink in.

No one president or his media has discredited such a huge criminal justice system without help from his military, which I don't think he'll get.

It G20 fail has nothing to do with the America I see.
