I think with hundreds of Republicans strenuously objecting to the Biden electors for the contested states, and demanding further investigation, there will not be the perception that VP Pence is somehow going it alone.
With that kind of wind at his back, it will already be a foregone conclusion that this unprecedented mess cannot and should not be settled January 6th.
I am imagining someone like Ted Cruz or Josh Hawley, making one critical point in the televised debate and not even the Democrats will have an answer:
Namely, that in each of the six Democrat run cities where fraud is alleged to have occurred, Team Trump has asked to examine evidence, and cross examine witnesses, and has been denied access every step of the way.
That one fact will hit the American people like a ton of bricks.
How can the Democrats answer that?
How can the Secretaries of State, who certified electors for their respective states, defend those certifications when access to critical evidence and key witnesses has been denied to lawyers for the plaintiff?
I think there is no way this gets settled January 6th over the strenuous objections of several hundred Republican members.
If it takes only one Senator and one Representative to trigger a floor debate - what does several hundred members trigger? I’d say whatever it triggers - it certainly won’t be wrapped up in a single day or even a week.
Thanks for the thoughts. Sounds reasonable.
These days you can take reasonable and toss it out the
window. Not to insult you, but I’m sure you know what
I mean.
I hope you are correct. You “should be”, but who knows?
I liked your thought about hundreds of Republicans demanding
this be addressed.
That’s about our only hope.
Mitch has sure shown his true colors now hasn’t he.
