At a press conference of the Republican Party’s Senate leadership team, Missouri Senator Roy Blunt said: "You know, the President wasn’t defeated by huge numbers. In fact, he may not have been defeated at all."
Ornstein says the widespread refusal to accept the election results represents the culmination of trends in the Republican Party that predate Trump. "If you are denying science, if you are denying facts, if you’ve become an outlier party then there’s a logical extension of that: you will deny an election result," Ornstein says. "Still, I don’t think I would have imagined it would go this far."
"Their calculus is that doing or saying anything right now to contradict Trump’s belief he has won would divide and demoralise the base enough that it could make the difference there," Ornstein says.
KnottMatthew Talk about not acknowledging defeat. Which half of politics spent the last 4 years whining about losing in 2016... and then went full fascist mode to scrape in this year ? 🤔

KnottMatthew Trump isn’t changing it.....THE CONSTITUTIONAL LAW IS!
KnottMatthew That is incorrect. PresidentTrump has reached the inevitable convergence of the fictitious world he and his allies manufactured for themselves with reality. By contrast, the vast majority of Americans are doing just fine, as we have been living here in reality all along.
KnottMatthew Al Gore did not concede until 13th of December. Mark your diaries.
KnottMatthew So what you’re saying is, Trump does have a prospect of changing the outcome? 😎
KnottMatthew Sorry but News Outlets do not call nor create a President. Not even a Prime Minister, it is the People. 'Reality of Defeat', when will News outlets acknowledge the reality of defeat, due to the self-destruction of their own credibility. 'Activist Journalism' is not Journalism.
KnottMatthew The Lying MainstreamMedia see themselves as NARCISSISTIC Kingmakers & have crowned Biden. Forget the constitution, rule of law & due process. Evidence that realDonaldTrump can and most likely will win remains unreported. In undisputed results, Trump is leading JoeBiden.
