(10,857 posts)Mitt Romney is a sociopath and if he's set up the criminal half of his operation properly, there is a line of cut-outs between him and the election thieves I think he is contacting this week by visiting "lost" states.
The smart play at this point would be to contact the election thieves and tell them to back off this time, so that their efforts are not statistically identifiable.
But Mitt isn't smart like that. This is the closest he's ever going to get to the White House, and if he's properly insulated, he personally risks nothing by coercing bought election officials into trying to flip a landslide.
With no personal risk, Romney will be inclined to do what's best for himself, since he doesn't actually care about anyone else. Sociopaths never lack audacity, or contempt for the law.
We have to expect this dishonest, malevolent candidate to behave dishonestly and malevolently. That's the part that worries me.
