Senior 2020 campaign adviser Lara Trump said the feelings and passion of President Donald Trump's nearly 74 million voters is evidence enough to continue bringing voter fraud allegations against states her father-in-law lost.
Trump said Sunday that President-elect Joe Biden's nearly 80 million votes, 6 million more than the president, is too hard to "rationalize" and the Trump campaign is obliged to pursue any and all legal challenges against the election results. Trump defended ongoing legal disputes to Fox News by describing how the president's nearly 74 million supporters across the U.S. "do not feel" like the outcome is even plausible. Trump justified the legal claims by highlighting Biden's comparatively smaller campaign rally attendance numbers prior to Election Day, saying those events were dwarfed by the "enthusiasm" seen at Trump rallies.

Trump rejected the claims by her husband (Eric Trump) and brother-in-law (Donald Trump Jr.) that "feelings" should not cloud Americans' decisions. She said the intense passion of her father-in-law's supporters should make anyone skeptical of the election results, which show Biden won with a record-high number of votes.
"Last time I checked the people were still in charge of the United States of America and there are about 74 million people out there who do not feel like the result of this election that's been presented is accurate," Trump told Fox News on Sunday morning.

Does having the last name Trump make one math challenged?

(1,601 posts)What's there to rationalize? The silent majority (the ones who didn't go to Covid spreading rallies) outvoted you.
I think there might be a lot more credibility (okay, maybe a smidgen more) here if all of the people making claims about how the election was so off didn't have the last name of Trump.

(8,445 posts)They were apparently under the impression that whoever had more rallies, and louder rallies, was the winner. But, alas, it turns out that it was the actual ELECTION that counted.
Maybe somebody can gently break it to her that she's fucked up in her way of thinking. Or not. Don't care.
