It cant be that he's going to fly to Georgia to enflame civil war within the state Republican party ...

Yet it makes a perverse psychological sense. Trump can't acknowledge that Biden soundly defeated him. Ergo, Trump must insist he didn't lose. Ergo, Trump must persuade himself he was betrayed from within. Ergo, anti-Trump traitors must be punished ...

Also - although Trump would not articulate it this way, not even to himself - it would humiliate him if both Loeffler and Perdue win their Georgia races after he lost his. It's better for his ego if they both lose. So perhaps he's come to apply that extra bit of oomph to ensure

Or possibly it's even more basic. Like Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction, boiling the bunny to demand attention, he will do whatever it takes to feel on top for 10 minutes longer - no matter the cost to himself and supposed friends and allies

It's suddenly imaginable that Democrats could owe their 49th and 50th Senate seats to Donald Trump and his QAnon chums.

If so, what on earth will Republican party leaders and party leaders say to themselves next year, as VP Kamala Harris spends her days in the chair of the president of the Senate, providing the 51st vote to liberal bill after liberal bill, all thanks to Donald Trump's egomania ...
