The nagging Devil's Advocate voice in my head regarding Trump's legal challenges.
On the one hand, I can't help but laugh at all the inept foibles of Rudy and Company on full display, and keep telling myself that there is absolutely no realistic legal avenue whereby Trump could somehow have the courts set aside the will of the people and overturn an election in his favor.
After all, there can't be any way that the worst lawyers ever with the worst legal arguments ever somehow fool everyone and succeed, right?
But then, I have that nagging thought that we have just sat through four years which I honestly believe will be objectively considered the very worst Presidency in the nation's history, which saw policies of forced separation of parents and children, investigations about inviting foreign adversaries to interfere in our elections, rampant corruption and conflicts of interest dealing with personal business, an impeachment over the abuse of power and the shakedown of a foreign country for personal gain, the loss of all civility in politics, the embrace of extremist and bigoted ideology, and all ending up in the bungling of a response to a pandemic that has lead to a quarter million people dead and counting...
...and after all that, after putting up a candidate who by all objective measures is highly qualified and likeable, the margin of defeat for the absolute worst President this country has ever seen is a mere 3%, give or take?
I just can't shake the notion that the worst of the worst still manages to overachieve these days.
