Donald Trump is finally recognizing he’s at risk of losing the election unless he makes some changes.

As Democrats convened this week in Chicago, the former president’s campaign advisers reached out to people who are allies of both Trump and Brian Kemp, the popular governor of Georgia he was publicly attacking just weeks ago, to smooth things over between the two Republicans.

Trump’s advisers, meanwhile, have been privately strategizing about how to broaden his appeal with voters and shore up support among top allies. They convened a stakeholders call last week with a small group of influential Trump supporters and unofficial advisers to provide an update on the election.

I have it on good authority you just need to exclaim, “woah woah woah woah, hold up. Do over.”

I'm sure he knows all about how to call a mulligan, just like how he plays golf.

It helps when you own the course. For bonus points, you can even bury your ex-wife there.

Oh so the election year starts over and we vote in November 2025 putting Joey at 5 years?

Well since the election board of so many swing states have been corrupted by election deniers, I fully expect there to be a delay in certifying the election, thus causing Biden to remain President indefinitely. Which will give me schadenfreude as these numbnuts fail to realize they still won't get tRump in office ever again, just more Biden, then whether through Biden dying or becoming incapacitated, God forbid, Harris will take over anyway. They've already lost and they don't even realize it yet.

A lot of election rules have changed in some states, so the electorate vote doesn’t have to follow any influence of the popular vote.

Delays will put the decision in the Supreme Courts hands. Do we have to spell out for you the likely outcome?
