State legislators and Congress share responsibility for fraud that casts doubt on the outcome of the election. While other news media has breathlessly reported on the many lawsuits filed to deal with election fraud, the real story is the failure of Trump’s first term Republican Congress and State Republican controlled legislatures. They should have enacted laws that would have prevented the steal.
To file suit, there must be a “case or controversy,” which means, someone’s rights have been violated and the court can do something about it. It’s the last part that is lacking in every lawsuit filed to deal with the election. The so-called conservative media has been complaining about the court system, but the real culprits are the Republican legislators who hold a large majority in each of the state houses in the swing states. Republican legislators are solely responsible for certifying an election, and if the election is challenged, Republican legislators should conduct hearings and then decide whether to certify the electoral votes.
Each of the swing states have conducted hearings. 90% of Republican voters believe the democrats stole the election, but Republican legislators in each of the swing states certified the electoral votes on December 14th. Their decisions are final, conclusive, and binding on Congress. I have given the Republican Party a lot of thought over the past many years. Up until now I hoped that the Republicans would become the party of Trump. With minor exceptions, they have not, and it is obvious after the past four years they will not.
Trump should announce his candidacy for 2024, even if he does not actually intend to run. He should not run as a Republican since he has proven he has very few friends in the Republican Party. He should form a new party. Between now and 2022, he should hand pick challengers who can unseat RINO’s and ask his friends in the Republican Party to consider joining the new party.
Trump needs to conduct a campaign to ask his supporters to switch parties. I will be the first to join, and millions other staunch supporters who like the way Trump tweets will join also. There are currently only 55 million registered republicans, and for the first time there are fewer registered republicans than there are independents.
Currently nearly 90% of Republicans believe the election was stolen, and they know that the Republicans in state legislatures in the swing states failed to enact legislation that would have prevented the theft and then certified a stolen election.
When the RINO chosen to run in 2022 for Congress is defeated by Trump’s hand-picked nominee, voters may begin the slow process of considering that Trump can bring along with him enough nominees of his party to convince everyone watching FOX News that it is possible for a third party to displace the Republican Party nominee. If by chance Trump’s man does not win but stops a RINO from being elected, it’s no great loss.
Well said. Keep the rage close. The GOPE has proved time and again that “the people” have a short memory.
All hat and no cattle.
first jan 20th. then it’s up to Trump.
An economic crash is coming.
Trump and others want Democrats to be in charge when it comes.
Yes, let’s never win anything again...brilliant!
10th Amendment: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads;"
So the key question to ask regarding political parties and federal domestic policy is how many political parties does it take to run the mail service?
I say none, no political parties needed.
When the states finally wake up and repeal the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments, the repeal amendment needs a provision to prohibit political party support of federal elected officials.
The individual states will retain the power to destroy themselves with political parties. An imploded state can become a US territory again until somebody figures out what to do with it. /semi-sarc
It’s already baked into the cake.
Another lockdown should crush the economy and men’s souls...

I’m not exactly sure how twitter links work. That will either take you to the exact tweet or just Collins’ feed. Look on Oct 20 and 21 of 2020 and you will find several tweets, including a picture.
NO! We have just about taken it over with Tea Party and Trumpers. We need to get the never Trumpets to start THEIR on party..

Agreed, it’s rebranding time for the not so great anymore ‘Grand Old Party. Get the pitchforks out and toss the worthless RINOs and Never Trumpers out of the Party. We’ve got all their names by now.
Constitutional Patriots Party.

No such demeanor indicated in his tweets.
“...NO! We have just about taken it over with Tea Party and Trumpers. We need to get the never Trumpets to start THEIR on party..”

This election has been smoking out the USEFUL IDIOTS, low-IQ’ers, DEFEATISTS and saboteurs in our midst. I wish more folks would have the wisdom and common sense reflected in your post.
We already have a LOSERTARIAN party that has cost us Congressional seats and Electoral College state wins. The last thing we need us another WE’RELOSERSALSO party helping out the DemocRATS.
YES!
Call it...
The AMERICAN PARTY!
If it got off the ground, I’d begin work to campaign as the county head of this new party.
The new Republican Party in 1954 eventually led to getting rid of slavery.
Check your history. A new party CAN work in our case.
Exactly
You have heard of ServePro restoration experts – “Like it never even happened.”
Republicans, including Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) have said that it’s unwise to challenge the votes. “It would be saying, ‘Look, let’s not follow the vote of the people, let’s instead do it [sic] what we want.’ That would not be the way a democratic republic ought to work,” Romney told media outlets earlier this month.
Earlier Wednesday, Trump called on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to keep fighting after McConnell congratulated Biden on the floor of the Senate this week.
“Mitch, 75,000,000 VOTES, a record for a sitting President (by a lot),” Trump wrote to McConnell, underscoring the amount of support Trump has. The remarks were shared alongside a Daily Mail article about Republicans turning on McConnell after he made his remarks about Biden on the floor of the Senate on Tuesday.
Are republican lawmakers deaf, dumb, and blind? Do they not realize that by denying reality that they are disagreeing with almost 90% of republican voters who believe the election was stolen? Obviously everyone knows the election was stolen but for some republicans not having Trump around is preferable to having Biden as president.
Third party fantasies only lead to disappointment and defeat.
“Call it...
The AMERICAN PARTY!”

How about calling it the LOSERTARIAN2 Party for truth in advertising?

No. If we can’t get what we need our of this party then a new one might not be any different.
