Then that’s the legal case that could be fought, not this case immediately after the election.

Imagine if the situation was reversed and Democrats did the exact same thing, everyone on FR would be screaming about it and rightfully so.

The closest thing to this was how the Gore Campaign was acting in 2000 over “hanging chads”, Republicans fought it tooth and nail and were correct to do so.

Just imagine how much different things would be right now if Trump followed what Al Gore did in 2000, once his appeals were exhausted, Gore conceded and moved on.

If Trump would have done the same thing, 1/6 would not have happened, a good number of Trump supporters would not be in jail right now, many others have had their life ruined.

This case would not be happening and maybe some of the other cases.

Assuming Trump is the nominee, the entire election will be about these cases and the actions of Trump after the 2020 election and not the disaster that Biden has been.

It would improve Republicans chance of winning if we were talking about the war in Ukraine, inflation, high gas prices, etc., instead of stolen elections.

Fair election being the center of attention for an election? How terrible.

You have a huge blind spot.

BTW, most folks can talk, chew gum and cover numerous issues all at the same time.

Are you seriously suggesting that President Trump should have acted like Sore Loserman?!

President Trump tried to make nice after Ted Cruz stole the Iowa Causes with Voter Fraud in 2016. Then, he after he defied the Deep State and demolished Hillary in the Electoral College he was still the victim of massive voter fraud (5M+ illegals). 2020 was stolen by land, sea and air.

President Trump is outright sick and tired fo the Fraud and he's going to exercise his Sacred First Amendment rights and his speak his Truth to power! He is being Indicted for all of US.

The problem with your theory is that in Gore’s situation, his concern’s were adjudicated. The legal system/judges punted Trump’s legal concerns and not because they weren’t legitimate.
Ignoring a problem, as you suggest, does not make it go away. It enables it and emboldens the wrongdoers. They will just do it again as a result. That is exactly what is happening now, only they have doubled down on their efforts b/c the matter was never properly addressed and discussed. At some point, all wrong doing needs to be confronted. If we ignored it and did as you say and only discussed Ukraine, etc. we may possibly “win” the election, doubtful, but maybe, but at what cost and what would we really be winning if we ran away like scared mice b/c the topic of election fraud is unpleasant? If the people at J6 didn’t attend b/c Trump kept mum, put his tail between his legs and let them all be victims of cheaters, what would be gained? In the American Revolution those who fought may not have died if they stayed home and let the enemy walk all over them. Is that what you are advocating?
