November 21, 2020
By Tom Boggioni
In a blunt-talking editorial in the conservative Wall Street Journal, the editors called upon Donald Trump to come up with credible evidence of election fraud or move on and prepare to leave office on January 20th.
Noting the multiple lawsuits brought by the president and his supporters that have alleged ballot tampering and fraud only to be promptly thrown out by judges in multiple states the editors stated in no uncertain terms that the president needs to put up or shut up and to hire a serious lawyer in place of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

(17,857 posts)Trump's behaviors now are a logical extension of his behavior before and while he has been President. It is a little late to appeal to Constitutional niceties when it has been trampled in the dirt for four years (and far longer when you consider GOP voter suppression measures).
Trump engaged his foreign policy to frame a political rival with promises of political reward using the status and integrity of the US government. What he is now doing with the GOP state legislatures is no different.
