Trump should pull the plug, not the trigger, on further election challenges

Allow, please, an extended simile, football-related, for what President Trump is trying to do by continuing his legal challenges against Joe Biden’s coming presidency. The difference is that in the football analogy, there are no detrimental consequences for making the attempt, whereas Trump’s efforts risk grave harm to the public’s well-being.

Trump is like the head coach of a football team during a timeout with five seconds remaining in the game and his team on the opponent’s 33-yard-line, down by 11 points, against the wind. Is it even possible to finagle a victory? Well, yes, if you believe a fairy godmother can be conjured up just by wishing it so.
