If congressional Republicans are adamant that the votes of the people of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia are illegitimate, let them stand up and object . . . and see if they ever win another election in those states again.
Let Republicans try to explain to the country why what they propose to do to states that vote for a Democratic candidate won’t result in Democrats disenfranchising states that vote for a Republican candidate.
With President Trump refusing to accept defeat and his core supporters stoked by hysterical claims that the election has been stolen — as opposed to righteous concerns that election integrity needs shoring up — Republicans are walking a razor’s edge. They do not want to court the wrath of Trump supporters, so they are supporting the unsupportable; besides the 18 states, well over 100 GOP House members have now expressed support for Texas’s gambit. They may calculate that this is a cost-free gesture, but it is not: It eggs on the president’s tirades and intensifies his supporters’ “Stop the Steal” zeal.
With the Court declining to entertain the Texas lawsuit, however, and the Electoral College voting on Monday, what then?
Are Republicans ready for what they are teeing up on January 6? Have they thought this through? Are they ready to have the Republican Party identified with the disenfranchisement of millions of Americans? Are they ready for a new kind of “United” States in which we invalidate each other’s votes? In which we roll the dice on how states will coexist once they start trying to disenfranchise each other?

President Trump lost a close election, partly because of events like a pandemic and associated recession, partly because of media bias such as ignoring Hunter and Joe Biden's corruption, and partly because of Trump's mistakes, such as his terrible tactics in the 1st debate or attacking John McCain even after his death and narrowly losing Arizona.
Republicans should focus on keeping the Senate by winning in Georgia and on limiting the damage Biden does in office.
McCarthy is positively awful as is the National Review. The last thing this nation needs is a dose of the kind of fixes they are offering to America. They are why we are in this mess.
I hope you have your seatbelt and helmet on. It’s going to be a bumpy rise.
Up yours, McCarthy.
Suspicions about Andrew McCarthy are now confirmed.
He has no clue what will happen if Cheatocrats are allowed to STEAL this election.
What a load of horse manure.
Please stop, this election was stolen.
Let those who refused to stand up try to win another election. We will work tirelessly to defeat them in their primaries. Oh yeah, and we are on to them now, let them try to cheat and we will catch them and expose them.
At least republicans still expect a bit of honor.
NR was always opposed to Trump. No surprise.
Suspicions about Andrew McCarthy are now confirmed.
He’s one of Rush’s go-to guys. Tells you all you need to know.
I see no rational reason to believe that the democrats won’t go 2 for 2 in Georgia by cheating again. I think there’s about a million mail in ballots already sent out. Every Republican politician at every level has been unable or unwilling to stop it. Judges have been unable to stop it.
Their credibility is comically low.
I don’t think the GOP as it exists today will win in Georgia and I think they will get blown out in 2022 and 2024.
I used to think AM was rational.
A Vichy Constitutionalist, it could be said.
Horseshit
Surrender Monkey crapola.
Hillarys not in prison?
Nor any of the coup plotters?
Screw yiur Republican party.
The “ United” States is over. Its “Us” vs “Them”.
Its the MAGA party now.
Time to choose.
Roll MAGA, roll!
Because it’s much better for the People to allow the dems to seat a 2nd fraudulent president - right?
If/when that happens, there will be nothing left to concentrate on because the evil side will control our destiny.
“ Trump’s lawyers have not been able to convince any judges...”
You think they’re not convinced?
Don’t blame Trump.
If the Democrats succeed in their massive voter fraud there will never be another honest election in the United States.
The system is corrupt. Their is no accountability. We are going to have to fight to save our country, our freedom and our way of life.
We may as well fight now. Every day we wait it will be more difficult.
The only thing necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing.
“I don’t think the GOP as it exists today will win in Georgia and I think they will get blown out in 2022 and 2024.”
Agreed, either the GOPe types are basically kicked out or we start a new party, with the latter ensuring that the GOP gets blown out in 2022 and 2024.
God bless Rush, but even at this late stage he isn't able to see the damage these establishment Rs have done to the country.
I hate him
