among heretofore fairly sane Senators, and the best explanation has been that they're afraid if they oppose him, they'll lose substantial segments of Republican voters, and that may have been true. Or he might have had dirt on all of them, or pretended he did. In any case, we could make some kind of explanation, however crazy, for their behavior.

But why are they sticking with him now? Do they truly believe that MAGATS will continue to turn out in droves for Republican candidates who do not project the national image of bald-faced lying bluster, of pumped-up orange insanity that Trump offers?d Do they think any local candidate is going to give them the national exposure Trump has? Without his persona, the MAGATS are going to dissolve--anyone remember H. Ross Perot?

And as has been pointed out a zillion times, Trump doesn't care about anyone but himself. Do they think that out-of-office Trump is going to travel to Bumfuck MN to stump for Republican candidates? No way in hell is he going to exert himself for anyone else. If there seems to be the smallest chance he can run in 2024, he'll be out there, *using* local races to raise votes and funds for himself, but during the years out of office, assuming he's not in jail, he isn't going to do diddle for anyone else.

It's time for the rats to strap on their life-jackets.

Trump is trying to reduce that 306 count

Remember how he bragged about his "historic" 306 electoral vote count against Clinton? He realizes he has lost, but he just can't swallow the fact that he lost by the same electoral count as Clinton lost to him.

He's going to keep trying to get one state to turn, which won't be enough to change the election but which will salve his butt-hurt just enough to allow him to concede.
