Texas Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw to Supporters: “Don’t Kid Yourself” the 2020 Election “Absolutely Not a Stolen Election”

Why do you say this?

Because nothing in the law or the Constitution allows for it.

[Howie66]

Crenshaw has always been a Never Trump guy. This is not news.

[Howie66]

Jesse Ventura was a SEAL, too.

‘Nuff said.

[L,TOWM]

That is all of them bro...

A lot of y’all grew up in houses with mostly sober parents and didn’t learn to watch what people DO and ignore what the SAY before ya learned to read...

and it REALLY F——ING SHOWS!!!!

[Hildy]

I know what a freaking audit is. I live in Arizona and am intimately involved. This audit was NEVER about recounting ballots. It’s to uncover fraud. If you think in a million years that Trump is going to get reinstated then you’re a fool and you make us all look bad. I want to uncover fraud so it doesn’t happen again. That is was the AZ audit is about.

I didn’t know he was a RINO.

NOW I KNOW !!

The election was riddled with fraud.
FRAUD !!!

The information people not just Lindell, are presenting is compelling. Sometimes the messenger opens our minds for us to do further investigations. Many cyber professionals as well as attorneys and doctors have spoken.

Blaise Pascal once wrote in a letter that he would have made it shorter but didn't have the time. Shakespeare before him famously wrote "brevity is the soul of wit."

If the answer to the question of "show me some proof" is "watch this three day long seminar", I'm going to be far from the only one taking a pass. That may be deplorable, but it also is the truth.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

A lot of people confuse "this election should be flipped" with "this election will flip." But as soon as you point out the reality that it isn't going to be overturned, you're deemed a RINO or worse.

Not really much discussion possible at that point.

[lula]

That is your perogative. We shall see if this has legs. The truth always comes out in the end.

[DennisR]

Well, Rep Crenshaw is probably right. When the current audits are finished, he will probably be proven right.

There are only two things that matter in an election:

1. Were only legal votes counted? And,
2. Were the legal votes counted correctly?

Does not matter what Russia did, China did, what packets were observed, what mathematical probabilities predict, who had the most-energetic/well-attended rallies, and so forth. Only the two above-mentioned things are critical and necessary. Afraid those who are crying “Foul” are about to be exposed as delusional. I will be happy to be proven wrong, but doubt that will happen.

[DiogenesLamp]

It is much, much better to make three really good arguments than three good arguments and seven crappy ones. Too many people apparently don't understand that.

It is charming that you think people are amenable to reason. No evidence will prove to Democrats that the election was stolen. They will simply refuse to accept it no matter what is presented.

[DiogenesLamp]

No. Yes, there is evidence of fraud - I have personally seen it. But no, it was not enough to sway the election.

You know there is evidence of fraud because you've seen it, but you know with certainty that the fraud you didn't see was not enough to sway the election?

Biden who couldn't get 20 people to show up at one of his rallies got the most votes of any presidential candidate in history?

Pull the other one.

[White Lives Matter]

[This audit was NEVER about recounting ballots]

So why did you bring up a recount in your original response to me? I never brought up a recount in my op.

[mo]

merely the cost of a seat in the House of “Representatives”

he has received the bill for his re-election ; paying it means joining the UniParty (R)

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

It is charming that you think people are amenable to reason.

Charming? Well, thank you! But if you are right, and people are not amenable to reason, then everything you say, and everything Lindell or anyone else says in trying to convince people of fraud, is a complete waste of time and mental energy. You are knowingly engaging in an activity that you know is completely futile.

So what does that say about you?

[x]

Another guy who doesn't have a staff to carefully craft every single thing he says before he says it.

And another case of "You don't agree with me about everything. You are dead to me now."

Nothing is going to be flipped. People will be arguing about the election a century from now.

[DiogenesLamp]

You are knowingly engaging in an activity that you know is completely futile.

So what does that say about you?

I'm an optimist?

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

That was good for a chuckle, so thanks.

So consider this an appeal to that optimistic side. If you are going to make arguments, then you're going to have a lot more cause for that optimism if you make those arguments as effectively as possible. Information dumps rarely work to convince anyone.

When arguing with 9/11 Truthers, I'd ask them to give me their single best argument. The one argument that was bulletproof, unanswerable, etc.. And if that argument was bogus, then I'd know that listening to the rest of that drivel was going to be pointless. They'd usually hate that because they believed that 100 crappy argument were the equal of one good one.

There has been a whole lot of that boy who cried wolf syndrome with the claims of vote tally manipulation.

Thank you. Well said.
