Let me see if I understand where we are in our politics. The president is claiming he won the election, and his lieutenants are saying so, too. Further, much of the citizenry – that\u2019s us – are going along with this. And the electoral college vote was 306 for Biden and 270 for Trump. The popular vote was 81,281,502 votes for Biden and 74,222,593 votes for Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Huh? Yes, I know there are charges of fraud by the president and his supporters, but all the lawsuits and efforts to prove such have failed in the courts. Still, this silliness goes on and on, including the president coming to Georgia to hold a rally in support of his allegations. If all this is not enough to make you blink, the latest revelation is the tape of the president\u2019s phone call to the Georgia Secretary of State in which he begs for a recalculation in his favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s my question. Just who is crazy here? Growing consensus seems to be that the president has, in fact, lost it. This is a reasonable deduction if he actually believes he won the votes. Okay, so what about the multitudes out there in his \u201cbase\u201d who have continued to support him? They must be nuts, too, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This leaves those of us who didn\u2019t vote for him in the first place; so we never were nuts. The only ones left are “all the king\u2019s men\u201d (read lieutenants) who plan to challenge the election results when the final tally of the electoral votes takes place on January 6th. If they are not nuts, then they are rotten to the core, and that is scary!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
