From what I've seen of his supporters I doubt that hiding in another country would dampen their enthusiasm much. He could do virtual rallies and paint himself as a persecuted victim. He's doing that already. Hell, he's been doing that since before he was elected.

I'm not sure what it would take for them to abandon him, but I don't think that would be it.

The problem with virtual rallies is that they don't provide the most important thing for Trump, namely, the adulation, the chanting, and the cheers and clapping. No matter how many cameras and mics you surround the crowd with, it's just notthe same when sitting in a room with only AV technicians around.

I wonder if there is any consideration of state and local election officials suing Trump for defamation. Since they are public officials, as I understand it, they would have to prove actual malice or a reckless disregard for the truth to prevail, but I think that Trump's conduct has been egregious enough that this might not be an insurmountable barrier.

Speaking of Trump's egregious conduct, it seems to me that his overt attempts to influence various election officials in several states to overturn polling results violate federal and state laws regarding such conduct. If nothing else his twitter trail imploring various state officials to act illegally should be enough to convict him in a five minute trial.

The inevitable response to this, should it happen would be to say it's not what he meant, chump didn't write that, it was a plot on the part of twatter to defame the noble and utterly honest president.

Or the democrats made it all up somehow.
 
What penalties can the courts impose for vexatious litigation?
 
Paxton’s lawsuit will work....

...in that it will get him a Trump pardon for the securities exchange fraud he’s being investigated for.

You are lying again Bubba.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a motion Monday requesting his case be heard. He didn't actually submit his appeal. He is facing court for accepting bribes with a date yet to be set. Paxton's aim is to get pardoned by Trump before Trump is booted out.

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall said he would bring his state into the case, "should it become one".

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry also endorsed the move but has not joined.

Which is still sad. These guys are playing to their base, I suppose. They have to show support for Der Trumper to avoid being "primaried", but they want to do so without actually signing on to something so legally indefensible.

Dont worry.

That Texas suit has no chance.

Why would you expect the Texas case to be any different than all the others? The Pennsylvania case was the only case all nine of these Justices have ever agreed on. Why would it even occur to you that SCOTUS would overturn the will of the people and our democracy?
 
Trump tweeted

This was not my case as has been so incorrectly reported. The case that everyone has been waiting for is the State’s case with Texas and numerous others joining. It is very strong, ALL CRITERIA MET. How can you have a presidency when a vast majority think the election was RIGGED?

@SCOTUSblog
The Supreme Court has rejected a Pennsylvania Republican congressman’s request to prevent Pennsylvania from certifying its presidential election results in favor of Joe Biden.

This case is different from the lawsuit filed by the state of Texas this morning. twitter.com/ahoweblogger/s…

We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case. This is the big one. Our Country needs a victory!

They can make the plaintiffs pay the other side's fees. In one case not entirely dissimilar to these cases, Kris Kobach, the head of the president's election fraud commission was ordered to take six hours of retraining in constitutional law before he could renew is law license. If the attorneys are found to have used tampered evidence, suborned perjury or themselves lied to the court they can be refereed to the disciplinary committee of the Bar Association that holds their law license.

An intervenor is a party whose stake in the outcome of a case is strong enough that the court allows them to join the case and help argue for their side even though they are not part of the original suit. Here the Trump campaign has a stake in the outcome of the Texas suit and therefore might want to be allowed to participate in arguing it.
