Why Trump can’t win

R&I – FS

When the dust settles, president-elect Joe Biden’s margin of victory in the 2020 election will exceed Ronald Reagan’s defeat of Jimmy Carter in 1980 and may surpass Barack Obama’s margin in 2012. Biden won a majority of votes and will probably end up with the eighth-highest percentage of the vote of any Democratic presidential candidate since the Republican Party was formed.

That’s once the dust settles, mind you. In the interim, President Trump is doing his best to kick up dust, to claim that the outcome of the election is uncertain and that he has a path to victory. He’s had trouble articulating precisely what that path looks like, arguing alternately that the courts would weigh in to invalidate the results or that recounts or fuller tallies of the votes cast will reveal a sudden shift.

None of that is true. Donald Trump lost his bid for reelection and he has no path to victory. The only way in which Trump will serve another four years in office will be if he’s the beneficiary of some extraordinary legal or legislative intervention — or if he runs again in 2024.
