Most of Trump's rally was predictable but he made two very telling statements.

As I say, most of the speech was a rehash of his pre election stump, as well as his "we won, it was stolen, we can't let them get away with it" stuff he said in the call in to the PA and AZ hearings. That, plus his tacked on statements of support for the GA Senators and the need to vote. That was it.

Except for two things.

Both were off hand remarks, one of those obviously not on the teleprompter. He said he had expected to win on election night and then take a couple days off. But instead he's worked harder than ever since then.

The other was when he said he's gotten to know so many representatives and senators during all this, and he wasn't talking about federal. He then mentioned one and then commented on how young he looked, as though this person he's gotten to know was someone he'd never seen before.

Putting the two together: Trump has been working the phones like crazy talking to state house members. He's not just leaving this to the lawyers.

It reminds me of Lincoln working over the federal reps to ensure enough votes to pass the 13th Ammendment.

Just something I thought I'd share

I also thought it was interesting when he mentioned military defense "AND OFFENSE". He usually refers to defense spending or the military defense budget. I wonder if this was a tip off of things to come.

I thought he was referring back to knocking out ISIS when he mentioned offensive, he was talking about it earlier in the speech
