Coleman Hints at Trump's Strategy for Victory

This morning Ron Coleman retweeted an article by Alan Dershowitz speculating that Trump's strategy is to take the election to the House. The more I think about it, the more it seems like what he will do. It goes in line with Trump's penchant for going bigger than you think he will. 

He will do this, Dershowitz, by denying Biden electoral votes from the states where the Democrats manifestly cheated. This would include some or all of the Big Six: PA, MI, GA, AZ, WI, and NV.  At this point strong legal action in underway in all those states which could determine the presence of massive fraud. Trump needs to take PA away from Biden, and two other states.

Trump need not argue that the electoral votes of those states should be awarded to him. He doesn't need a decision saying that. He has a lower threshold to meet. He only needs the states to fail to certify electors, or to have the electors voided by the Supreme Court on the grounds of electoral fraud. One suspects he has a very strong case to make for this, based on a ridiculous amount of evidence. 

All of a sudden, it seems a lot more achievable for Trump to win, in clear terms that put me at peace for the moment. Dershowitz calls this a narrow path that would require a "perfect storm" to achieve. But he is not thinking like Trump. He is not thinking big. Trump arranges perfect storms when he needs them.
