Despite Pat Buchanan’s record as a Trump-supporter sans pareil, his most recent column,
on why Trump’s challenges to the Biden victory are both futile and
possibly harmful, is profoundly unsettling. It is also based on
questionable assumptions.
“It seems a certainty that not enough electoral votes could be flipped
from Biden to Trump to overturn’s Joe Biden’s electoral vote victory,”
Buchanan declares. Even more ominously, Buchanan suggests that Trump is
dragging out his legal challenges when his party should be turning to
more urgent matters. While Republicans are “devoting time and resources
to the ballot count in battleground states,” Buchanan argues, “a last
crucial battle is shaping up in Georgia, where the stakes are second
only to the presidency.”
Presumably, the longer Trump focuses on
himself, haggling over votes in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and other states
that he in all probability lost, the harder it will be to marshal
Republican forces for Georgia’s critical senatorial runoff races in
early January, precluding the possibility of reining in a leftist
administration.
