The deck was stacked against Trump from the start....We'll see how people feel 6 months down the road, when they don't like how president Harris is "governing. China may have her on her knees, but that's OK...she's been there before....

The second biggest problem with Trump’s election challenges    Aaron Blake 42 mins ago

The often-credulous airwaves of Fox News’s morning show, “Fox & Friends,” are generally the best friend of President Trump and his administration. But from time to time, they — however gently — inject some realism into the current debate.

And that was certainly the case Monday morning. During an interview with White House senior adviser Stephen Miller, host Brian Kilmeade stuck a pencil through a pinhole in the Trump effort to overturn the 2020 election results.

“Your legal team, in almost every state, 50 times lost — some with Trump judges,” Kilmeade said, pretty accurately describing the Trump team’s overwhelming defeats in court. “So do you have the worst legal team who just don’t seem to be presenting a good case? Or are you just too late and this case should have been brought before the election?”

"We have open election challenges in all the contested states," Miller says. (Courts have rejected all of their challenges. Every. Single One.)

Kilmeade: "Your legal team [has]... 50 times lost — some with Trump judges — so do you have the worst legal team who just don’t seem to be presenting a good case? Or you just too late in this case should have been brought before the election?" Miller: [blames media for rulings]

That latter sentence should have been greeted by loud dings from a game-show bell.

The biggest problem with the Trump legal case is the sheer lack of evidence of the kind of widespread irregularities and voter fraud that it argues should overturn the 2020 results. But perhaps next after that is something that has gotten relatively little attention: the failure to raise these issues earlier — i.e. before the election.

Over and over again, judges have noted that the pro-Trump legal effort could just as well have challenged the election rules before the election results went against them.
