Republicans control 28 states, democrats 22, once again, trump once. i don t know if that was an inebriated rudy giuliani or steve benin, but, that was a road map for what they ended up trying to do. yeah, there is no question about that, and the really interesting about that to me, alison, is that it clearly shows on that day, donald trump jr. thought his father lost the election. you don t hear anything in there about voter fraud, the fact that these lawsuits may be successful because they have great evidence. he clearly thought the election was done and over, and they had not even called it yet. again, i am with you. i don t think that is his language, which i think is clearly a set state of affairs when you had to copy and paste, plagiarize something to try to pretend to be smarter than you are, but that is the way it is these. this absolutely, and through ....
