Despite all the T-Rump’s blather about election fraud, his big swag is to maintain a grip as head of the Republican party with an aim at the 2024 presidential race, and of course (should go without saying), make as much money as possible off the MAGA idiots who support him.
In the current/future GOP climate, anyone Republican must either accept Joe Biden’s win, or deny it, no inbetween shit: ‘But this isn’t just a question of a fact, it’s a mindset. Because it means that the minimum ante for Republican politics is now support for an insane conspiracy theory.‘
And way-nutty it be…

However, the T-Rump is serious. He’s a giant, nuclear-powered monster that’s clawing at every available source to keep from being proclaimed a ‘loser,’ though, in reality, it’s already been settled. Biden won the election, and the Electoral College will vote next week to ensure the win. Nothing more than just bluster and blather on a monstrous scale. Although a bit dicey, the T-Rump does not have the ability to plan anything, all his work is done via nefarious urges, even if considered idiotic.
And no matter who gets savaged or hurt.

Gabriel Sherman has a piece today at Vanity Fair on T-Rump’s 2024 expectations and the storm it will cause — main take-away:

Even Trump is acting like the end is near.
The biggest sign that he knows he lost the election is his interest in a 2024 run.
According to a Republican operative, members of the Trump campaign have told GOP operatives that Trump is “100% all in” on a 2024 run.
“This fucks Mike Pompeo. This fucks Mike Pence. How do you raise money if Trump is running?” the operative told me.
“It’s also causing chaos with all the operatives. If you’re a part of Trumpworld, do you still work for him? We all know he could drop out at any moment and he’d be fine. No one knows what to do.”

This keeps the cult-like base boiling and blows away any effort by other Republicans to do anything near-about whatsoever in planning to campaign, or maybe who to vote for in the immediate future.  Who knows the mind of the T-Rump, not even the T-Rump — it’s all about chaos and carnage in whatever direction his narcissistic, self-centered brain follows.

However, in an op/ed this morning at The Washington Post, journalist and historian, TR Reid, offers T-Rump the example of the 1960 election and Tricky-Dick Nixon’s decision to concede — some snips:

The election of 1960, pitting Nixon against John F. Kennedy, was the closest contest of the 20th century.
Nixon won 49.6-percent of the popular vote; the Democrat edged him out with 49.7-percent.
In his definitive history “The Making of the President 1960,” Theodore H. White wrote: “If only 4,500 voters in Illinois and 28,000 voters in Texas changed their minds … those 32,500 votes would have made Richard M. Nixon President of the United States.”

As soon as the results were announced, Republicans began to issue charges of fraud and ballot-box stuffing.
They focused on Texas, where Kennedy’s running mate Lyndon B. Johnson had a history of electoral chicanery, and Cook County, Ill., where Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley’s political machine routinely manipulated the vote in Democrats’ favor.
…
Unlike Trump, the Republicans in 1960 presented solid evidence that the reported count was wrong.
Over Daley’s strenuous objections, a special prosecutor, Morris J. Wexler, was appointed to review the election results in Cook County.
The special prosecutor brought criminal fraud charges against hundreds of Democratic election workers and estimated that the Democrats had stolen roughly 10,000 votes there, more than Kennedy’s statewide margin.
In Texas, Republicans cited precincts where the Kennedy-Johnson vote total was 25 percent higher than the number of registered voters.

National Republican leaders strongly urged Nixon to fight the results in both states.
The vice president recalled later that he was sorely tempted.
“There was no question that there was real substance to many of these [fraud] charges,” Nixon wrote in his memoir “Six Crises,” published in 1962.
In private Nixon fumed, telling friends at a Christmas party that year “we won, but they stole it from us.”

Yet unlike the current president, in public Nixon quickly accepted the reported result.
By noon on the day after the election, both Nixon and President Dwight D. Eisenhower had graciously congratulated Kennedy on his victory.
In “Six Crises,” Nixon explained his decision not to fight: “The bitterness that would be engendered by such a maneuver on my part would … have done incalculable and lasting damage throughout the country. … I could think of no worse example for nations abroad … than that of the United States wrangling over the results of our presidential election, and even suggesting that the presidency itself could be stolen by thievery at the ballot box.”

Unlike Nixon, too, the T-Rump doesn’t give a fat-rat’s ass about voters and any ‘lasting damage’ to the country. In a flip of a famous quote, T-Rump is no Dick Nixon.

America is in for a way-bumpy ride…
