By Craig Bucher It is barely a week into the new year, and already things don’t seem to be going all that well. President Trump has dipped to new lows with the hour phone call to the Georgia Secretary of State. Seems he wants to have Secretary Raffensperger “recalculate” to find 11,800 votes to flip the state from Biden to Trump. “Flipping the state is a great testament to our country. It’s a testament that they can admit a mistake” said Trump. No, it is a trib- ute to the Republican Secretary Raffensperger that he refused the President.
