It is only a matter of time before the states certify their election results and President Trump’s legal team is forced to throw in the towel. They may give up semi-voluntarily but not readily, and they will almost certainly blame their loss on the courts or the deep state — anything but the one thing that guaranteed Trump’s legal failure: his lack of evidence.
The damage will be long-lasting. Millions of the president’s supporters will spend the next four years convinced they were robbed, and they will take their frustration out on not only the Democrats but the Republicans who they believe worked against Trump during his legal quest. Already, pro-Trump attorneys Lin Wood and Sidney Powell are encouraging Republican voters not to support Georgia Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue in the critical runoff elections because they have not publicly commented on Trump’s case in the state. Many voters will listen, and the GOP will suffer as a consequence.
