Are we not taking the possibility of Trump not being elected seriously?

Quietly, and without much media coverage of this strategy, it looks to me like there's a concerted effort to weaken the legitimacy of Trumps win in November in order to lay the path towards and electoral surprise on December 19th. The following strategies have been executed:

  1. Force recounts in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania - it doesn't matter if the courts allow it because it builds a case against the legitimacy of his election. Also, if the courts uphold the recounts it's possible they won't end until after the delegate vote on December 19th thus not allowing them to count towards Trump.

  2. The CIA has now verified that the Russians did in fact try to sway the election by hacking emails and sending to Wikileaks. Again, it doesn't matter if the leaked emails are factual as the goal is to bring this info to the public and paint a picture that further weakens the legimitimacy of his election.

  3. Fake news - another approach to sway the public view of his election.

Maybe I'm paranoid but doesn't all of this add up to laying a path for enough electoral delegates to be persuaded to change their votes from Trump to someone else? They only need to flip 37 and if any of the recount states aren't counted due to it not being finished on time it would only lower the number...

Just curious if anyone shares this view because it doesn't seem to be getting any media attention.

Sort:  

if that in the first line is your account key you now have a problem.

Or is this a satire about the intelligence of Trump supporters?

Really good point...might want to give this a watch!
