Ron Johnson says November election is 'for all the marbles'
The Hill ^ | 10/04/20 07:00 AM EDT | BY CELINE CASTRONUOVO

Republican Sen. Ron Johnson (Wis.) said Sunday that if Democratic nominee Joe Biden wins the presidential election next month, “America would change forever" adding that in his view, “this election is for all the marbles.”

“America would change forever. This election is for all the marbles. The Senate Democrats would pack the court. They would get rid of the filibuster so they could enact all these crazy socialist… policies,” Johnson told John Catsimatidis Sunday on his radio show “The Cats Roundtable” on WABC 77 AM.

The senator was referring to calls from some Democrats to add more justices to the Supreme Court and to end the Senate filibuster following the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Biden has so far not publicly taken a position on either issue.

“I don’t know how this country would recover from it,” Johnson said.

Johnson was one of several top Republican officials in President Trump’s inner orbit to test positive for COVID-19 in recent days.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced Saturday that he would be delaying the return of the Senate after Johnson and Sens. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) all contracted the disease.

The delay and diagnoses come as the Senate GOP looks to swiftly confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court after Trump announced her nomination last Saturday.

With one month to go until the presidential election, Johnson also echoed Trump’s repeated claims that mail-in voting will lead to widespread voter fraud. There is no substantial evidence to support this claim.

“You are just opening yourself up to ballot stuffing and voter fraud,” Johnson said. “Now you’ve got all these judicial activists — liberal justices who are making up election law on the fly… This could be chaos.”

A coalition of civil rights and voter advocacy groups filed a lawsuit late Thursday against Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas) and other Texas officials over a state policy cutting down the number of ballot drop-off locations. The governor had announced Thursday that the state would only allow one drop-off location in each of Texas’s 254 counties.

“In the midst of an election that is already underway, forcing such new burdens on voters who relied on a different set of election rules to make their voting plan, is unreasonable, unfair, and unconstitutional,” the groups argued in the lawsuit.

Alleluia. A Pubbie gets it. Now will he tell the rest of his Party colleagues, because we already got the memo?

It's for "all the marbles" because the Left has pushed everything on the table. It has pulled out all stops and has basically taken its mask off and revealed its true intentions.

Whether intentional or not, I think the Left realizes that by revealing its goal of socialism/communism, there is no turning back.

Even if they lose the election, the battle for the country has begun and will not stop until one side is dead.

I’ve always liked Ron Johnson (though don’t agree with everything) he seems to have an independent streak and not GOPe.

There is no “substantial evidence to support the claim” that mail in ballots lead to voter fraud?! Is this writer attempting comedy here?

America has already changed. For a lot of people it’s like a wart that grows on them. We need a change where this insidious element that plans to rule our country is eliminated. Once purged a new Constitution with an Amendment that bans all leftist ideology. It’s not freedom of speech. It’s a subversive antithetical attack on our liberties and posterity.

America would change forever, becoming Venezuela (once the most prosperous nicest country in SA to Live); where for the ordinary person food is bark, grass, pets, and worms; medicine and TP non-existent; and where 15% of the population has fled the country; where uncounted people too poor to flee beg on the country’s borders; where inflation is measures in triple digits; where 1 million pesos will buy a loaf of bread which is hard to find; etc all the usual socialist craziness. And where elections are for life.

He is correct.

Better vote for Trump and prevent any Democrat you know from voting.

If we escape the commie takeover it won’t be because of the Republicans.

Remember that.

We need to win and get to an Article V convention if we hope to survive. Only God can do that.

It already is in the deep blue systems
We need to stop pretending that America is really one nation. We have the USA, and the USSA.

Victor Davis Hanson has also been warning of the consequences of this election at all levels.

It’s only for all the marbles if we let it be for all the marbles.

We’re in this place due to complacency. Complacency that has allowed radical Leftists to take over our education, justice, law enforcement, government, corporate and any other institution you can think of. They sneak onto HOAs, school boards, city councils, county commissions, etc and before you know it, they’re changing everything. And folks do nothing. Or, many don’t think they’re being effected by the Leftist policies so they turn a blind eye and deaf ear to it all. Kind of like that old adage about the Nazi’s taking everything incrementally until there was no one left to stop them.

At some point, about 39 States, Governors, State Legislatures and THE PEOPLE of those states have to say enough. Tell DC and the Dem’s to GO F*CK THEMSELVES and ignore ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that comes out of DC. If, God forbid, we get Biden, et al, the country is over as we know it. In so many cases, simple recall efforts can solve so many of these problems, but it isn’t used. The people just live like slaves and they don’t even know it. Even in my small town it’s there. County can’t account for $26,000,000.00...nothing is done. City hall says that millions were “mismanaged” but there was no criminal intent.....amazing.

There will be no coming back from anything they do. It’s time for the country to break up and draw new borders. Let the Left have the coasts so they can do their trading with China and whoever is willing to deal with them. The Right can have the Southeast and Gulf of Mexico coastal areas. The south and middle part of the country, flyover country as they like to call it, has all the oil, food, most of the military and MOST of the PATRIOTS. There are many that are stuck in the Blue states, unfortunately for them. The Leftist areas will die a quick death so there’s no need to worry about them.

It’s time for the People, Governors and Legislatures to have a frank discussion on seceding from the Left. The two sides cannot compromise or work together.
