When Establishment Republicans Tell You This Election Was on the Level, Do You Believe Them?

Donald Trump had a phenomenal night on Tuesday. He received five million more votes than in 2016, expanded his support from minority voters, and lifted Republican House candidates and state legislatures across the country to victory. Republicans won almost everywhere, and the president's vote leads in battleground states seemed insurmountable and secured. A wall of voters showed up for the president in order to prevail over a "margin of fraud" universally expected by Trump's base. In any other election year, Biden would have conceded by 9 P.M. Instead, the news media refused to call races for the president, Democrats continued to inject uncontrolled mail-in ballots into the count, and Democrat-governed states turned a Trump landslide into a loss. In other words, about the only Republican who ended up losing in 2020 is the only Republican responsible for getting voters to turn out in the first place. That sure makes sense.
