Donald Trump’s legal effort to disrupt Pennsylvania election results is on its last legs. Strategy seems to be to cut down Joe Biden’s lead to force a recount. (That’s a steep hill to climb…)

RELATED: Trump campaign boots its lawyers only hours before a hearing in its lawsuit to block certification of Philadelphia vote results.

This suit is the "last significant legal challenge in Pennsylvania,” according to @PhillyInquirer.

inquirer.com/news/trump-law…
A week ago, Harrisburg PA lawyer Marc Scaringi was on the radio saying that Biden won Pennsylvania & litigation by the Trump campaign wouldn’t work.

Trump just now: "If you count the legal votes, I win."
MSNBC immediately cuts Trump off and say there’s no illegal voting.
I’m guessing Trump spoke about 14 seconds before MSNBC dropped the hammer.
