Donald Trump’s refusal to accept his electoral defeat is alarming, but unsurprising. It is Mr. Trump’s character to reject even reality itself when it conflicts with his ego. More alarming is the long list of state and national Republican leaders cravenly falling in line behind his desperate efforts to topple American democracy.
On Friday, the Supreme Court rejected a Texas lawsuit to overturn the election, a legal challenge that was as frivolous as it was anti-constitutional. Yet more than 60 percent of House Republicans signed a supporting brief, joining 18 Republican attorneys general who filed their own and embraced entirely the unreality of Trumpism by lending their names to undoing an election that put them in office.
These were not just fringe elements. The minority leader Kevin McCarthy and the whip Steve Scalise signed their names, as did the incoming ranking member for the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee, Cathy McMorris Rodgers. Some, such as Kevin Brady, Bill Flores and Ann Wagner, were Republicans who the NeverTrump movement once hoped would break with the president once we made him an electoral loser.

Kasich: It's the wrong time for the GOP to be forcing this power play, Also Evan McMuffin & Mr. Kellyanne 9/25/2020, 2:55:39 PM · by conservative98 · 73 replies Twitter ^ | 9/25/20 | John Kasich & Friends For the best of our country, our leaders in DC need to stop the tit-for-tat retaliation game that is playing out with the Supreme Court nom. It's the wrong time for the GOP to be forcing this power play, and it's equally wrong for the Dems to threaten to expand the court. (cont.)— John Kasich (@JohnKasich) September 22, 2020 A word to my fellow principled conservatives and Republicans: Voting for Biden doesn't mean you agree with every position he holds or that you can't oppose decisions he makes as president. It just means that you're prioritizing the Constitution, truth...
Never Trump counter-convention to target congressional Republicans 5/23/2020, 7:45:45 AM · by kevcol · 21 replies Washington Examiner ^ | May 23, 2020 | David M. Drucker Never Trump Republicans planning to gather in Charlotte, North Carolina, in August, at the same moment as President Trump’s renomination celebration there are taking aim at congressional Republicans.

How Mitt Romney could wind up running the United States 6 years 5/21/2018, 9:08:21 PM · by Trump20162020 · 68 replies The Brookings Institution ^ | 04-26-2018 | Elaine Kamarck If, as expected, Mitt Romney wins his race for a Senate seat from Utah he may become the most powerful man in the United States Senate. As many of us remember, Romney, former Governor of Massachusetts, ran for president in 2012 and lost to Barack Obama. It wasn’t one of those totally humiliating losses—the map did not turn blue—but we assumed Mitt Romney would fade into history. Well, maybe not. The seat will remain Republican-held for President Trump come January of 2019, but this one could very well turn out to be the swing vote in the Senate. If Democrats...
EXCLUSIVE: ‘No Remorse’ Former Evan McMullin Campaign Worker Sounds Off [Shirker] [ed] 4/19/2018, 10:09:09 AM · by C19fan · 31 replies Daily Caller ^ | April 18, 2018 | Joe Simonson Former presidential candidate Evan McMullin owes his former campaign staff members tens of thousands of dollars and most believe he has no intention of ever paying them, a former campaign worker tells The Daily Caller News Foundation. Right before McMullin’s failed bid for president in 2016 as the conservative alternative to President Donald Trump, the campaign was inundated with debt. The disastrous fiscal situation was a combination of frivolous spending by McMullin and his campaign manager Joel Searby, according to the former staffer.

Evan McMullin’s Secret Silicon Valley Donors 12/10/2017, 10:21:13 AM · by x1stcav · 17 replies The Daily Caller ^ | 12/10/17 | Peter Hasson Evan McMullin doesn’t want you to know who his donors are. The failed Never Trump presidential candidate has stayed in the public eye as a sort of attack dog against President Trump and other Republicans, while keeping secret the names of the donors paying him to do so. McMullin’s recently founded non-profit organization, Stand Up Republic, jumped into the Alabama Senate race this week with a $500,000 ad buy against Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore. One of the ads features a man saying Roy Moore “makes Republicans and us Christians look bad.”
In 2016, this idiot ran as an independent in an attempt to undermine Trump. He siphoned off 21% of the vote in Utah, but had little success anywhere else.
Oh brother who needs that guy no one. If Trump goes so do I. I will be done because all that will be left is commies as far as the eye can see.
Might want to learn Chinese also.
McMuffin
Who do these idiots think will vote for them after they scorned the Tea Party and betrayed Trump? Democrat voters won’t. To them, the “racist” smear has stuck.
Once Our President Trump says that he is starting a new Political party to replace the GOPe then I join, as I suspect will tens of millions of others.
Until then I started the GOPe and any who have backstabbed us and OUR President.
Regards.
These are the sort of people that need to be shown the door, big time.

All of that is what’s wrong with our elections. There is so much misinformation spewing forth at all times, no one knows what is true and what is not. So much smoke-n-mirrors that underminds our election process. We need to come up with a new system that will guarantee (at least 99%) election integrity.
Evan McMullin And Friends are getting Chinese money to disrupt and demoralize the Republican Party.
McMullin’s manifesto is a mountain of platitudes.
Everything he does or says is something that will harm the GOP or help the Democrats.
2018 there were a bunch of these Clowns In America running for office including Sparnsberger who won.
It is kind of like Cannibalism.
Deep State taking over more elected positions.
McMuffin was there in the 2016 Presidential election just to take votes from Trump.
If the New York Times let’s him write an article you know there is a high probability he is a domestic enemy.
