The humiliation of the Confederate King: Why losing Georgia has consumed Donald Trump

Why losing Georgia has consumed Donald Trump
Donald Trump is the first Republican candidate for president to lose Georgia in a general election in 28 years.
Worse yet, Donald Trump is the first Republican to lose Georgia without a significant third party challenge since 1980, when Georgia voted for its home state Democrat, Jimmy Carter.
But the embarrassment of being the first Republican to lose a GOP stronghold state alone isn't why Donald Trump is trying to beg, borrow, and steal his way into overturning the election in Georgia, even to the point of committing a potential crime by trying to personally intimidate Georgia's top election official. Alternately threatening and groveling with Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in a call which was attended by attorneys for both sides and recorded, Trump exhibited a special kind of desperation and embarrassment that is unique, even for Trump.
Now that we know that Trump had made 18 attempts to have this call before it actually took place, it only confirms how extraordinarily and uniquely humiliated Donald Trump feels about his loss in Georgia.

What he IS concerned about is getting to stay out of jail and keeping all his illegal financial gains. He will do anything to stay at a job even though he doesn't want to do the actual work of being president. He wants the power and attention and the fancy perks that come with the job and nothing more.

Is that who else has he called and threatened? Because just getting Georgia wouldn't be enough to win in the electoral college. Georgia is a one-party consent state when it comes to phone recordings. Maybe the others aren't, or the election officials there didn't have the stones to post anything they did record.
