He would have lost to anyone thrown against him. Most voted to oust him, not for any love of current candidate. They have had enough of irrational and irratic leadership.
Dude, have another beer.

I don't get it.
Larry is living in an alternate reality, with his buddy Trump. PURE DENIAL that Trump lost.
Trump lost a rigged election. I haven't looked at numbers lately, but at one time that was the opinion of the majority of voters.
Hang on a minute, earlier it was 50 million, then it was 80 million, now it's a majority of voters?
Did you just find an additional 30 million votes? Even Trump couldn't manage that, and that knobhead can do anything!
You're confusing Trump voters, registered Republican voters and all registered voters. As I said, I haven't looked in awhile, but at one time it was a majority of voters, whether they voted for Trump, or not.

@doctor-phibes Have you not been looking at the weather reports?
Actually it's been unseasonably mild where I live. A good winter not to travel.

Plus, how would 'Trump underperformed down ballot republicans' even conceivably be evidence of fraud?
Like the fraudsters could figure out how to get ballots that were properly printed and coded, sneak them into hundreds of different polling locations, slip them into the counters without anyone noticing, cover all their tracks, etc.... but filling in those two extra bubbles for the House and Senate candidates was just too complicated?
I don't get it.
Just because!! That is why.

The best for the US is when things are split in the power. Maybe not as much gets done, but what does get done is more towards the center than any extreme.
I just love you to pieces, TG. Wiser words were never spoke here.

Here's another thought experiment for you Trump-won-yes-he-DIDsters to chew on.
Say a miracle happens, and one of Trump's many machinations actually works to put him back in office. (I know, but just pretend.)
Do you have any idea how much work of the transition has already been done to this point? Not just in DC, but all over the country? Hundreds, maybe thousands, of upper and lower level public employees have already left or are actively searching for jobs elsewhere (though many are permanent despite the new administration's party). Not just the employees, but their spouses also being involved in relocation challenges, their kids exiting schools, and so on.
And things like preparing Biden's official portrait, preparing the new presidential stationary, and hundreds of other tasks, large and small.
Then suddenly it's oops, we goofed, and Trump is back in. Can you imagine the chaos?

Why would a lower-level public employee need a new job when the POTUS changes? I assume it's mainly the top two or three layers of the hierarchy that are affected by this.

Yes, but with a bureacracy this huge, those layers can be complicated to determine.

Am I taking crazy pills? How is this not the biggest political scandal/blunder in the last 100 years? A sitting president making this type of statement to throw out an election he lost?

Trump supporters here say it's obvious we shouldn't trust the election result, but they expect us to trust this guy?
What on earth has he done to earn anybody's trust?

I can't see it being that big of a deal. Happens all the time.

I feel sorry for VP Pence. Lol
I think he thought he was going to get through this, and be ready for 2024. Now, no matter what he does he’s going to make someone upset. I’m sure he’s deciding which side is worse to make upset
-
I don't know what 'lane' he fancies himself to be in, but I see his best shot as a compromise candidate if neither the leading Trumpy folks nor the leading establishment folks can eek out a lead.
In which case, he's probably doing the right thing. Being vocal about supporting the Senate attempt while saying 'sorry my hands are tied' with respect to his own role.
(Of course if Trump runs in 24, it would be '28 I'm talking about.)
