4:49Now PlayingMyPillow CEO Mike Lindell doesn't want Donald Trump to feel bad about his embarrassing losses in Georgia, so he's launching a new conspiracy to help soothe Trump's ego. According to Lindell, the Georgia elections were actually stolen, but only to "ding Trump's record" for his endorsements. There's no evidence to back up his claims, and like the rest of the election claims he's made, they are completely false. Farron Cousins discusses this.

You know, it's gotta be really nice to be a cult leader like Donald Trump is because no matter what you do, no matter what mistakes you make, no matter how many times you lose, you're always gonna have your idiot followers coming out and defending it. You don't even have to say anything, right? The crazy nut jobs are gonna come out and run interference for you and say that, oh no, no, no. Either he didn't actually lose when he did lose or he only lost because everything was rigged against him. He is still the great and wonderful infallible leader that we will follow to the ends of the earth. The latest person to do this, by the way, is MyPillow CEO. Mike Lynn, Dell Linde came out this past weekend. I'm not sure how I missed this story, but unfortunately I did. But anyway, this past weekend at that rally in Wyoming, Mike Linde, of course, as usual, somehow got to speak to reporters where he tried to launch a new conspiracy about Donald Trump's embarrassing failures in the state of Georgia. In last week's primaries. This is what Linde had to say to reporters.
Everything in Georgia was stolen. They, they wanted to push it in our real president's face and go you endorsements don't mean
Anything.
You know what? You made it so obvious you think crooked Brian Kemp got
73% or
Whatever. Impossible.
Okay. Of course, as per usual, he did not offer any evidence to back any of this up because there is no evidence to back any of it up. He's lying. He's lying his stupid little mustache off and he's lying to soothe. Trump's ego. I mean, here's the thing, Linde, all of the polls leading up to the election showed that this was going to happen. Okay? It's not like there was some kind of anomaly where the polls showed a tight race, but then he wins by 50 points. No, the polls were consistent with the results that came out of Georgia. This was not a surprise to anybody. That's been paying attention to this race for the last couple of months, we all knew this was going to happen. There was no fraud. There was no widespread conspiracy to embarrass Donald Trump because that's what he thinks it is, right?
It's not that, oh my God, our elections aren't safe. No, no, no, no, no. It was only done to show Trump that haha, your endorsements don't mean a thing. Okay. Again, you're ignoring the evidence. I'm assuming clearly Michellin Dell does not watch my videos here because if he did, he would understand that Donald Trump's endorsements really don't mean a thing. In fact, Donald Trump's endorsements, according to studies, according to the numbers, even from this year's primaries do not increase a candidate's chances of winning. Oh sure. There's been a couple of outliers this year. JD Vance is one of them. Uh, Mao is another one. Sure. But those are the exceptions, not the rule. Typically Trump endorsed candidates lose. And the reason he's actually had so many victories during this primary season is because the vast majority of the people that he has endorsed are either incumbents who were already polling way ahead.
And of course it's harder for incumbents to lose. So he's basically already picking people that are a sure thing. Or he's endorsing people that have no opponents, like they're running unopposed. So yeah, they're gonna win. And he gets to count that as a victory when you factor all of those out, by the way Donald Trump's in endorsements drops to about 40%. So when you take out the incumbents, when you take out the people running unopposed, uh, 60% of the time, roughly Trump is wrong. He backs the wrong person and his person loses also worth pointing out. Whenever Donald Trump endorses somebody, the person they are running against typically sees a boost in fundraising. So a Trump endorsement is actually better for the person who doesn't receive the endorsement, cuz not only do their poll numbers, statistically end up going up, but they also end up raising more money. Now if Mike Linde knew those things, which of course are readily available, he wouldn't have to launch these conspiracy theories to try to stroke Trump's ego as Trump, still grapples with the embarrassing losses that he suffered in Georgia last week.
