Last summer, the press was obsessed with asking President Trump if he would leave the White House without controversy if defeated by Joe Biden. The President always replied yes, if the vote was honest.

The question was asked over and over and I found something strange about the media’s fixation.

Now, it’s coming together theoretically. The drive on the part of democrats to widen mail-in voting rules (Covid was the rationale), and the theme of casting doubt on Mr. Trump’s departure.
