I am not going to respond to the hypothetical. It is a red herring and irrelevant.
I have just completed listening to the tape of the conversation provided on the CNN site here:
Full transcript: Trump's audio call with Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger - CNNPolitics
First,
I am going to admit that it was hard to listen to. Trump was very petulant, opinionated, and sometimes misinformed as to some of the facts. In all honesty, his constant interruptions of both his own advisors and the Georgia participants coupled with an unwillingness to accept and discuss certain responses wore on my nerves.
Having said all that, one point is clear. He never told anyone to "find votes to overturn the election" as the thread title states (and MSM/Social Media reporting asserts). His repeated point was that based on what he has been told by his "advisors" there were possibly hundreds of thousands of votes which were either not properly counted/recorded, or were fraudulent for a number of reasons. That those numbers were well above the "11799 votes" he lost by. He was not asking anyone to make up/create votes for him. NO, he wanted them to simply look at the "hundreds of thousands of votes" which were either fraudulent and should not be counted, or votes which should have been counted for him.
You are entitled to your opinion. But what I heard was a man frustrated over a messy election with massive changes that (to his mind by his own words) caused a "phony election."
While I did not appreciate his attitude, tone, and typical abrasiveness, I am also forced to recall that he is a man who has been under constant attack from both inside and outside his Administration. Had I not been a "witness" to such shenanigans over the last 4 years, I might be less forgiving of his demeanor.
In the meantime I just want the facts to come out, one way or the other. Which is why I support the Republicans in Congress who intend objections on 01/06/20. If for no other reason (win or lose) than to get them in the Congressional Record.
Still, if/when Joe Biden is sworn in as President of the USA after all legal and Constitutional "objections" have been concluded, then as far as I am concerned he is the President of the United States and I will give him a chance to show his merits.
