Olbermann vs. Trump #21: I HEREBY CLAIM TRUMP THE LAME DUCK BLEW IT!
Yes it's illegal, immoral, and an attempt to overthrow the (soon to be) duly elected government of the United States of America. But remarkably, this lame duck president who's supposed to be the champion snake oil salesman of the western world also lost the narrative by blowing the marketing!
You can't cast doubt on the credibility of an election you haven't lost yet! You can't in one breath insist that can be no more counting of votes in Michigan, but there MUST be re-counting of the counting of votes in Pennsylvania!
Trump has actually been losing the battle of perception-as-reality since he let Joe Biden speak first just before 1 AM EST Wednesday. If it's that late, and it's the middle of the night in 83% of the country, you hold your speech until 8:30 AM when people are watching the damn television!
And remember, the stupider Trump looks, the less support he will get from Republicans and even from the Supreme Court he has packed with flunkies. They're going to have to do a cost-benefit analysis of whether it's worth it to tear the country apart and burn their own court to a cinder.
