A senior @TeamTrump comms person appeared today on Fox. Instead of giving math/claims why they think Trump can flip back GA, AZ and WI, she spoke about windows being covered in MI during the count as if BOEs have open windows for the public to look at the count. @TeamClowns.
How useless is Trump’s Comms team?
This bad:
Their Director of Comms posted today a 2012 news from the NYT that mail ins have issues. Tim is SO happy with this find that he pinned the tweet.
It’s tough to beat @TimMurtaugh on TV; he is a sharp spox but my focus is the points being made or lack thereof.
The same is with @ErinMPerrine yesterday; a senior press person. @LelandVittert was disrespectful (almost abusive) but her points about PA/MI were off the rails.
As director of comms and director of press comms for Team Trump respectively, Tim and Erin have their hands full but/so they need staff that can find good items alone; staff that monitors SM for accounts that find it, and staff that drafts good talking points. Too late now. Sad.

“Journalists” decided to ask Senate GOPers if Biden should get intel briefings which is why you see so many comments today from senators on this. By saying yes, those Senators indirectly admit that Biden is POTUS-elect which undercuts Trump which is the goal of the question.
“ Biden should continue getting the same intell briefings that presidential candidates get until the election results are certified” is too complex for Santa GOP’s to say. Instead, they say Biden should get full briefings but they also say that the results are not clear.
Basically, @SenateGOP’s - from @SenatorLankford and @LindseyGrahamSC to @JohnCornyn and @SenJohnThune - are stringing along the GOP/Trump base about the election results hoping that they show up for the GA runoffs, but GOP senators think Trump is kaput which is fine.
You see/know that you are being propagandized yet there is little you can do about it. This - not the outcome itself - is the tough part about the 2020 election.
Major Media ran cover for Biden.
Big Tech choked off Cons.
Big Pharma hid news that Trump wanted 2 weeks ago.
CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, Politico and NYT would not be all “wow, the claimed vaccine effective rate is much higher than planned and Trump’s Wrapped Speed program worked.” They would “meh” it as they did the GDP report. My point is Big Pharma was another machine that undercut Trump.
Trump was attacked for holding rallies while BLM got a pass. The reasoning was “Trump is political but BLM is for justice.” First, political rallies are aimed to win elections and to affect policy; just as BLM wants to change policy. Second, yesterday rallies was for justice too?
This is just one small link in a looooong chain of media coverage bias that helped Biden while it undercut Trump. And of course, Biden was not asked 5 times weekly to condemn the violence, riots and physical attacks on Trump fans by his own supporters. This is the upside of a Dem
presidency: Major media will give us calm.
People rally during Covid-19 without distancing? Meh.
Riots/violence by Bide fans? Gets weak coverage and sure not much “Mr. president. Do you condemn your supporters” drama. Also back to no scandals no matter how bad the corruption.
Obama/Biden Admin spent six months chasing the Russia Collusion hoax.
Brennon/Clapper both admitted that they had nothing by 1/20/17. Yet @Comey went ahead for 5 more months.
Then Mueller looked at it for 22 months.
We can’t spend a few weeks to look at ballot integrity? Pls!
Electors vote mid-December. The rush to claim Biden a winner now (when it can be done in a month or more from now) is a tactic to weaken any calls to review ballots in WI, GA, AZ and PA. It is designed to increase GOP calls that Trump should join the call for a “graceful exit.”
The @TeamTrump PR claim (not sure if it will work out this way):
“We will win AZ and GA outright or after a (hand) recount of all mail in ballots or at a minimum mail ins in counties that used the same software that caused an (alleged) anti-Trump glitch in MI. With AZ/GA aside,
