Senator Roy Blunt, a Missouri Republican, critiqued former President Donald Trump for continuing to focus attention on the 2020 election when the GOP aims to shift its sights to the 2022 midterms.
Trump and many of his supporters continue to promote baseless conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election, claiming that the results were "rigged" in favor of President Joe Biden. These extraordinary allegations have been thoroughly litigated and entirely debunked. Election audits and recounts in key battleground states have also reaffirmed Biden's victory.
During a Sunday interview with NBC News' Meet the Press, Blunt, chair of the Senate Republican Policy Committee, was asked whether he thinks Trump actually believes the lies he and his supporters spread about the 2020 election.
"You know, I really can't analyze whether he believes or not. I'm sure that he believes that in a fair election he couldn't have possibly lost. And of course, he had the ability to go to court and prove whether that election was fair or not," the GOP senator responded.

Oh he probably will be helpful in 2022 for the Dems.

"You know, I really can't analyze whether he believes or not. I'm sure that he believes that in a fair election he couldn't have possibly lost. And of course, he had the ability to go to court and prove whether that election was fair or not," the GOP senator responded.
"You know, I really can't analyze whether he believes or not." ("I don't know what he believes and/or what he believes is impossible to analyze because it's nuts."
I'm sure that he believes that in a fair election he couldn't have possibly lost. ("I do know what he believes despite just saying I don't know what he believes, and it's this thing that's really a lie but I can't say it's a lie. Or it's insane, but I can't say that either."
And of course, he had the ability to go to court and prove whether that election was fair or not. ("And he did and lost 60 times, but I'm not going to say that; instead I'm going to imply while knowing the opposite that if he DID go into court, he'd prove his case, even though you and I know he can't. But to stay on his good side, I'm going to pretend that there's still an issue here even though I know the election was fair and he lost."
I get sort of nauseous just trying to keep up with their constant whipsawing and goalpost-moving as they attempt to distort reality enough that Trumpers don't turn on them.

(82,849 posts)At a certain point (and that was six months ago), it's immaterial whether the liar believes his lies. But to one of Bonehead Blunt's other points, what's in it for the former guy to help out Republicans in 2022? And by "what" I mean money and lots of it.
