Reminder:

Trump has nothing to lose by continuing to fight the outcome with all means at his disposal until the very end.

The GOP has nothing to lose by letting him continue.

How do you figure Repubs have nothing to lose in this? If Trump fails to steal the election, the most he loses is the presidency and thus his immunity from criminal and civil prosecution. He’ll walk away insisting to his dying day that he was “robbed” of a second term and that the Dems were guilty of “fraud.”

For the Repubs, there is not easy exit from this runaway train. They’re risking legal and political consequences with their increasingly insane efforts to undermine Biden’s victory. Suppose PA Repubs go forward with their suggestions of just outright invalidating the election results and sending their own electors to give Trump their state’s electoral votes. There is no scenario where they get away with that without consequences.
