Power Line's John Hinderaker writes about former president Trump's obsession with the 2020 election having been, in his view, stolen. Trump's harping on this has become tiresome.
I believe that election was hinkey, many liberties were taken by local officials in the name of compensating for the Covid pandemic. I'd agree with columnist John Kass that it was, as they say in Chi-town, "rigged" with the help of Zuckbucks. But probably not actually stolen.
Trump's anger at not anticipating the electoral fiddling, and acting to forestall it, should be directed at himself and his campaign people. Sadly, like Joe Biden, he blames everyone but himself. Let me share Hinderaker's conclusion.
Republicans need to nominate candidates who will appeal to voters across a broad range of issues on which we conservatives have the advantage–a range which very much includes election integrity. What we do not need is candidates who are obsessed with righting the alleged (and to some extent imaginary) wrongs that Donald Trump suffered in 2020. I don’t blame Trump for being unhappy, but his emotional state cannot dictate the future of the Republican Party.
Listening to someone moan "I wuz wronged" is a downer. Tell us about the future you want to help us build.
