(46,192 posts)for starters, if he had it all fixed, then why
1) did he not know that Ohio was not going his way
2) why did he make a stink about Ohio when even if it went his way, Romney would still lose? why didn't he know that?
3) if he was so connected that he could flip an election, why could he only get one state, the reddest of the swing states to go his way?
4) if he could flip votes and make it look plausible, why couldn't he even get the Cuban vote in Miami to go Republican, with a Republican mayor, with Rick Scott and with voting officials who stymied voters at every turn to depress Democratic turnout? if he'd swung the Cuban vote by 7 or 8 points, it wouldn't have been detected easily and Florida might have gone the other way...if he's the wizard everyone thinks he is here, why couldn't he pull that off?
I'm not saying an election can't be stolen, but was the fix in on this one? Doubtful based on everything we've seen.
