Have you noticed how low a profile President Trump is keeping, letting his lawyers and surrogates do the talking? He must be champing at the bit to get in front of the cameras and speak his mind! The fact that he isn’t to me screams that there is something very interesting going on behind the scenes. Setting aside all the posturing and incendiary headlines, my suspicion is that the Trump team is executing a strategy that is seeking to not just ensure he wins this election, but at the same time sets up the Left for a crippling and hopefully fatal defeat at all levels of government and society.
Kayleigh McEnany’s cryptic comment yesterday to the effect that Americans will hear from Trump “at the right moment”, also suggests that something is afoot. As we all know, often it’s what is not happening or being said that speaks louder than what is.
A weary friend asked me the other day, “What’s the strategy?” I have no inside information, but my reasoning is that first, the affidavits of eye-witnesses to the fraud will be collected, sworn, assembled and readied for presentation to the courts. These include affidavits of cyber-forensic experts regarding the biggest potential source of fraud, the voting machine software itself. While the Leftist media whines over and over again, “There’s no evidence of fraud,” this effort to collect the statements of eyewitnesses and affidavits is, by definition, evidence, and actionable in court! Next, presenting this evidence to the courts will trigger stays of the count, canvassing and certification processes. If not, they will be appealed while further evidence is collected.
This strategy is already working. The Pennsylvania judge who ruled that state officials exceeded their authority by extending the deadline for voters to cure their ballots by providing proof of identification was just one tiny step in a series of steps that must be taken to win the fight incrementally. Justice Alito’s order to segregate ballots in PA arriving after election day was another example.
Is there enough time? I’m no expert, but I believe there is so long as there are judges who can be awakened at night for injunctions. Can it reach the Supreme Court? I believe the step by step approach can and will be used until the time frame for action gets so small that an emergency hearing at the Court is available. God willing and the river don’t rise, the justices will say, “Hold on, there’s enough going on here we’d better look at this,” and stop everything so things can be sorted out. If the elector certifications get delayed, or the legislatures have to step in and override the contested election results to appoint the electors (see Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution), there’s a better than even probability, in my opinion, that Trump will prevail. Will the battle escalate further? Will the vilification increase to unbelievable proportions? Will threats and screams and potentially even violence ensue? Yes, but if this results in an outcome that reflects the LEGAL vote and thus the will of the people, it’ll be worth it.
Now that the number of eyewitnesses and sworn affidavits has become so large, the Left’s talking point is, “Well, it’s not widespread.” And just this morning there’s a new one, spoken by some obnoxious, belligerent & arrogant Democrat talking-head on Maria Bartiromo’s program, “The courts are rejecting Trump’s claims of fraud,” to which Maria threw the BS flag and with confidence and poise said, “That’s simply not true.” I can’t find a link to this exchange yet, but it was exemplary of the nonsense, histrionics and theater being perpetrated by the Left. The body language, shrillness of voice and faux-confidence of Maria’s guest reeked of insecurity!
Contrast this with Greg Jarrett’s cautious and measured analysis, a sampling available here. Or if you want a truly uplifting and combative while compelling argument, listen to an interview of Lin Wood by Howie Carr on Newsmax available here. Start listening to the recording at the 22 minute mark and I promise it’ll be time worth spent! Lin Wood, by the way, is an attorney working on the election fraud cases in Georgia. He’s also the lawyer defending Kyle Rittenhouse, the kid who shot those guys in Kenosha in self defense. I don’t know how much credence to place in his comments, but I hope and pray he’s right.
Finally, in his thoughtful and hopeful article on RedState entitled “If Anyone Can Win This Monumental Election Challenge, It’s Donald Trump” T. LaDuke concludes,
“This is the biggest test that Donald Trump — or any candidate for President — will have ever faced and it is one that looks somewhat insurmountable. I’m quite certain that any other GOP candidate for President would have already thrown in the towel to receive the accolades from the left on what a good boy they were. Donald Trump is not that type of person and I know that if anyone in the political world can do this it is the 45th President of the United States. I learned my lesson four years ago. This guy beats the odds and you should never bet against him.”
I’ve used the word “tsunami” many times as a sort of overstatement to describe the forces arrayed against Trump. Now, at this moment, it truly is apt and perhaps even an understatement. Do a search worded any way you like on the status of this election and you will be bombarded with the most intense gaslighting ever produced. “Done deal!” “Futile Attempt!” “Insurmountable Odds!” “Failed Challenges!” “Backlash Against Trump!” “Wild Theory!” and on and on blare the headlines.
As I’ve said before, if Trump loses in the courts, all the way up to the Supreme Court, I’ll accept the defeat. If he concedes, I’ll accept the defeat. But as long as he continues to fight, I’ll continue fighting as well!
