Speculation

   So why is the president trying so hard to overturn the well documented results of an election that he lost by nearly 8 million votes as well as a solid margin in the electoral college?
   Repeated attempts to block several state results in court challenges have failed, either dismissed by judges or abandoned by law firms.
   Could it be that he plans to force a tie electoral vote, which would put the final choice into the Congress? That's not likely to work either.
   Perhaps it's his ego, which does not allow him to admit defeat in anything, ever. Or is the power play to remain president a move to remain in office permanently? He has in the past spoken of his next ten years in office, which is disallowed by the Constitution.
   Could it be that he would suspend the Constitution by executive order? As if that is even possible. But in the past, reality has not stopped him from doing things that others would not try.
   Perhaps he is relying on the enthusiasm of his dedicated supporters to enable him, and they would support his every move, even those that would result in violence.
   This would mean a civil war.
