Is Trump a spoiled brat who can't handle not getting his way, stubborn, thick, or all of the above? Why doesn't he give it up and move on? ~
According to the Wall Street Journal, "Trump advisers have grown more vocal in conversations with Mr. Trump in recent days that they don’t see a path to victory, even if his legal efforts meet some success, a White House official said, though some advisers have continued to tell the president he still has a shot. An official said Mr. Trump understands that the fight isn’t winnable but characterized his feelings as: “Let me have the fight."
"One potential strategy discussed by Mr. Trump’s legal team would be attempting to get court orders to delay vote certification in critical states, potentially positioning Republican-controlled state legislatures to appoint pro-Trump electors who would swing the Electoral College in his favor, according to people familiar with the discussions.
It isn’t known how seriously the campaign has considered this idea, one of the people said.
Many of the advisers and lawyers said they doubt the effort would succeed and say it is aimed largely at appeasing Mr. Trump, who believes the election was stolen from him and expects his legal team to keep fighting.
Some of Mr. Trump’s advisers and lawyers said there isn’t an overarching legal theory or coordination behind the campaign’s efforts. The legal battle will likely conclude with Mr. Trump claiming the election was rigged against him and that he fought the outcome, the White House official said.
“I don’t think there’s really a coherent strategy,” said one Republican official.
The Trump campaign hasn’t presented evidence of widespread fraud in any of its legal claims.
The Trump campaign has filed lawsuits in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Arizona asking judges to stop state officials from certifying the vote. A conservative legal group has made a similar request in Michigan state court, where a judge is expected to rule this week.
Few courts have considered similar requests in the past, leaving few precedents. Legal experts say it is unlikely that judges would block finalizing votes in a state unless there was evidence of widespread fraud.
