Trump is losing support

FIFTY-NINE DAYS TO GO: More Republicans by the day are removing their support for Donald Trump's lone battle against the election result, the election organisers, anyone who says he didn't win. Georgia and Michigan are now definitely Biden's, so where else to turn. He can't seriously believe a bunch of states will suddenly reverse the results and announce Trump as the winner. But every time someone high profile says the election went fine thank you, he gets mad. Like when he sacked Chris Krebs, head of the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency for daring to say in public that the election was trouble-free. Under normal circumstances he would have been praised from the rooftops by the whole of Congress and the nation for saving the election from outside foreign interference. He kept the Russians at bay. That was a helluva success, especially after all the warnings of hostile cyber attacks. But for announcing that he had the done the job he was paid to to do, he gets fired. What Krebs did fail to do, however, was to stop the president of the United States from trying to interfere in the election process. Because that's exactly what he's doing, trying to overturn a democratic vote because he didn't win. His Republican and Democratic predecessors must be weeping into their pillows at night to see the standard bearer of the Republican Party refusing to do business with the president-elect. Barack Obama has been going around saying how gracious and helpful George W Bush was when he was president-elect in 2008. That's the way it's supposed to be done. But it doesn't look like the 45th president is going to be either gracious or helpful towards Joe Biden.
