Trump is trying to reduce that 306 count

Remember how he bragged about his "historic" 306 electoral vote count against Clinton? He realizes he has lost, but he just can't swallow the fact that he lost by the same electoral count as Clinton lost to him.

He's going to keep trying to get one state to turn, which won't be enough to change the election but which will salve his butt-hurt just enough to allow him to concede.

Whether he lost by one or by 200, he's still all mad (picturing Shirley Temple stomping her foot) that Democrats had the audacity to question his 2016 Russian supported "victory".

And he'll never concede. He'll just slink out the side door.

he hopes that if he gets one state legislature to buckle, others will too.

MI folks should have a plan for how they are going to get to Lansing.

She said she can’t comment on ongoing investigations on NBC today.

I wouldn’t mess with her.
