"We’ve got lots of theories, we just don’t have the evidence."
Rudy Giuliani, explaining his approach towards massive voter fraud in the 2020 election
Now, this is incredible, isn't it?
Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers, a Republican who the Trump team was trying to work with to prove massive voter fraud within the battleground state of Arizona, a state that Trump ultimately lost in the 2020 election, has stated that there really was not much to the claims of massive voter fraud, other than mere theories. According to Bowers, Rudy Giuliani outright admitted that he was basically relying on theories without any factual basis when trying to prove the claims of massive voter fraud that he, Trump, and some of Trump's team (clearly, not everyone on the Trump team, however) were trying to prove. Yes, they cleary had theories. No shortage of them. Where there was a huge shortage was in actually proving their theories. In other words, the facts simply did not fit their frankly wild theories of millions of fraudulent and illegal votes, including supposedly many by dead people.
“And I don’t know if that was a gaffe or maybe he didn’t think through what he said, but both myself and others in my group … both remember that specifically, and afterwards we kind of laughed about it,” Bowers added.
When Bowers asked for more specifics, such as actual names to serve as proof, the Trump team simply could not produce them. In fact, the Trump team's handling of their end of things, which was to actually try to prove that there was indeed massive voter fraud that they argued, for all intents and purposes, amounted to an election theft by Biden and his team, was mostly comical. At least it was comical until they showed just how far they were going to try and go with it, when they orchestrated the January 6th coup attempt.
Over the weekend, I actually discussed some of these matters with a Trump supporter. I again asked why he seemed to get offended by the idea that Biden or Obama or Clinton lie, but it's okay when Trump does it. How is it that he, specifically, did not get upset (at all, it seems) when Trump claims things that he showed no intention of actually doing. Some of those things include paying off the national debt in 8 years (he raised that debt by over 25 percent in four years), creating an affordable and fair healthcare system to replace Obamacare, divorcing himself from his businesses (which he claimed he would do before taking office, but never actually did), not having time to play golf once he was president (all he seemed to ever do was play golf), and on and on. I mentioned some other things, such as answering his claim that we (the United States) were very well respected while Trump was in office by reminding him that Trump had quite literally been laughed at by world leaders during a speech before the entire world at the United Nations, and how there were numerous protests and demonstrations, and even balloons of a Baby Trump over London when he was visiting there. But at the end, I once again asked myself why I bother trying to discuss anything with Trump supporters anymore. There really is no point to it, when facts matter not at all to far too many of them to be dismissed as some kind of minor point or passing trend. Indeed, they want to believe in that man, and whatever it is he represents to them, so much, that they do not need facts to back them up. In fact, clearly facts trouble them, and get in the way of their support for him.
Facts do matter, however. And the facts relating to the January 6th coup attempt are coming out. And yes, they are damning. I sure hope that Trump and his team are ultimately held accountable.
