The author kind of bounces around.Good piece here by an Aussie academic on why Trump might be being such and obstructive, lying prick: https://www.stuff.co.nz/world/ameri...end-game-is-georgia-and-control-of-the-senate
It'd be hilarious if it backfires.
From the link:
No doubt it's why the Bobsy Twins asked the Georgia Republican Sec of State to step down, kissing Trump's ass.Yes, this all could be explained simply as Trump not liking to lose. But setting such indulgences aside, the reason for this obstruction appears to be two upcoming US Senate runoff elections scheduled for January 5....
Already, it’s clear the focus of the GOP is shifting toward Georgia. The two Republican Senate candidates this week called for the resignation of the secretary of state, a fellow Republican, repeating Trump’s baseless claims over voter fraud in Georgia.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, this was done to appease Trump.
“Lest he tweet a negative word about them and risk divorcing them from his base ahead of the consequential runoff,” the publisher wrote.
But the idea Trump gives a rip about the GOP? Maybe he wants the GOP to own the Senate. After all, Trump knows he needs McConnell the enabler.
No way does this matter to Trump if Trump loses the election.It appears all these efforts are aimed at one goal: energising the Trumpian base for the Georgia run-off elections by delegitimising not only Biden, but the election process itself.
The man has pathological narcissism. I'm not sure why some people don't get this yet. They think, oh sure, he's a narcissist like all politicians. No, it's seriously pathologic.
#1) Trump cannot believe he lost.
#2) He does believe his fantasy that the SCOTUS will pay him back for his appointments and crown him king. They owe him.
#3) He does believe he only lost because people cheated him out of his due.
At some point it will start to dawn on him he's stuck with #3. He'll fly off to Mar a Lago to pout, no way will he concede in any way shape or form except to stop resisting and leave the WH.
