Lawyers and volunteers were everything

In my last post I talked about hitting the ground running. Here's why I think that is possible.  The last election Trump was defeated by a very poorly organized GOP. Republicans were locked out of counts in critical battleground states. There was no army of lawyers, no army of volunteers in 2020. Republicans got played so badly that it was inevitable that if Let's Go Brandon didn't win, they could have easily manufactured a win under those tilted-playing-field conditions. This is why so many Republicans reasonably think the 2020 election was stolen by the Democrats.

Remember Hillary Clinton telling Let's Go Brandon not to concede on election night? That's very telling. Why didn't that happen this time? The GOP, while not fully there yet, was so much better prepared with lawyers and volunteers. The Democrats could not organize any sort of shadowy light night rally for Kamala Harris, they knew they had to concede. The popular vote better reflected the reality of regular people, because there was far less possibility of cheating.

Yet despite all the claims by the media that cheating has never happened, it's still going on - out in the open even:

Trump's team was so organized they couldn't steal the presidency. There were many in the media predicting (or perhaps propagandizing) a Harris victory blowout. Then they were expecting a long week of counting in the swing states. Now Trump is clearly a lot more popular after four years of Brandon/Harris failures as a contrast, but it's not all his popularity that helped him win. The GOP's laser focus on the cheating was a huge boost that led to an election night win for Trump. It's clear Democrats moved the focus to congress because they had to do so. That team of lawyers the GOP assembled should be actively pursuing these other cheats on behalf of the GOP right now.

The main point though, is to point out that president Trump is coming into this term far better prepared than he was in 2016.  That being the case, hitting the ground running is far more likely this time around. He was prepared for election night, and it won him the election.  He has a team assembling much faster than in 2016. Day One should be great.
