>Only if the Republican Senators, all of them, decide they’d actually want to actually have a say in what happens to the U.S. Do you think all of them do? Frankly, I’m not optimistic.
Well, the real power play is when they agree to seat a red state senator as VP. I don’t think any Republican would do this, but if I was in charge, I’d tell them that was their only choice for getting a VP. Then you get 49/50, and hopefully 48/50 when the red state appoints a new Republican senator.
That’s the kind of cojones that Repubs need but will never have.
Why not delay any V.P. appointment until after the Senate elections of 2022. If the Republicans pick up a couple of seats, then the V.P. won’t matter (unless Harris goes away). If the dems pick up a seat, the V.P. vote won’t matter. If the balance stays the same drag it out until 2024 and “let the people decide”.
