Because the best way to not look like a banana republic, is to....look like a banana republic.

You know who has been AWFULLY quiet the last day-plus? Mike Pence.

Yeah, the noose er, circle, is tightening. Speaking of which:

Suddenly Mark Levin doesn't seem so bad.

NEW: Trump & his aides want to move ahead w/firing a few top officials like Esper and Wray and signing a slew of executive orders to make Trump look as presidential as possible, as his campaign disputes ballots and Biden kicks up his transition team.https://t.co/RlJDCGcccU

Who is giving the campaign it's legal advice? Dewey, Cheatum & Howe? Is this part of Jared's strategy to get a James Baker?  I'm not sure Solon, Learned Hand and Benjamin Cardozo could bail them out now.

NEWS: @NicoleSganga reports Jared Kushner is actively searching for a campaign legal spokesperson to take over its election litigation strategy, similar to what James Baker did for President G.W. Bush in 2000. @JaySekulow’s name being floated, among others.

(You can't make this shit up!)

(For those of you unclear about the matter, the Supreme Court can't "just step in." A case has to be filed, it has to go up on appeal, and that appeal has to reach the Supreme Court and be accepted. Even if there was such a case (Bush v. Gore went through the Florida courts to the Florida Supreme Court, IIRC, from whence it could, again IIRC, be appealed to the Supreme Court on the equal protection issue. And it only mattered because everything hinged on Florida. Trump can take a case out of PA, if he can get it through PA's courts first; but he can't take cases from PA and NV and AZ and GA and....you get the idea. There's no Supreme Court "save" possible here. Period.)
