VP could have sent results back for verification
An audit of a type. Pence refused
Republicans do not know how to pivot during interviews.
Would Al Gore in 2000 or Joe Biden in 2016 have been able to throw out the election results?
Another ineligible anchor baby with his ideas about our Constitution. How and why do we have so many of them running their mouths and pretending to be natural born Americans-—Cruz, Rubio, Gabbard, Harris, Haley, Ramaswamy, etc.
Now why, oh why would Trump ever ask VP to ever reject the outcome of an election? This question is never asked in context.
Trump never ever said the vice president could overturn an election. He said he could have it examined, in keeping with established precedentl. Is Rubio that stupid? Seems like he is lying.
That is not what Trump said.
Does this mean Kamala Harris can’t overturn the 2024 election?
Bathhouse boy speaks.
Why does this falsehood keep being repeated?
He was born in the United States to parents legally within the United States. He is a Natural Born Citizen. Period. This is what the phrase meant at the time it was written into the Constitution. If the Framers wanted the phrase to mean something other than what it meant at the time they wrote it, they would have spelled that out. And not only that - it has been adjudicated multiple times.
And Rubio cannot be the VP anymore than DeSantis - unless Trump or one of them leaves Florida - we cannot give up 30 Electoral Votes off the bat and expect to win the election.
Never accept the premise that there is a legitimate 2020 election to overturn.
Hence Marco’s weasel answer.
It is for the states’ to verify their EVs, not the VP. We’ve had a case where certain states contradicted themselves on their EVs (1876), and the Congress, in its wisdom, created a special commission to resolve the problem.
In 2020, states (meaning state legislatures) could have objected to the special COVID voting rules. Some individual state legislators did in real time, and other individual state legislatorss did after the fact (by which time it was too late). At the time of the opening of the ballots by the VP, only a handful of members of Congress objected and, so, that settled it.
The same thing in 2001. Some Democrats objected to the counting of the EC vote. VP Gore could not overturn that election.
Ditto in 2005 when, again, some Democrats objected to the counting of the EC vote. Of course, as the VP was a Republican, those objections were never going anywhere.
Ditto in 2017 when, yet again, some Democrats objected to the counting of the EC vote. VP Biden could not overturn that election.
You’d think by the 2017 farce that it would have been clear that VPs cannot overturn the election. But, no, since Donald Trump is a winner, by definition, he could not have lost the election of 2020. So, there had to be a traitor to blame; e.g., Pence.
As for Marco Rubio, we need somebody strong for VP and, I’m sorry, that’s not Marco. I’m thinking Abbott or Pompeo. Those are strong whom Trump respects.
Trump carries a lot of baggage. He’s been stupid in court and has lost several civil cases badly. But, Trump is also a very smart person. If he can discipline himself for the next several months, he will be elected President. The American people have a lot of sympathy for the guy. For all his shortcomings, he’s been royally screwed by the swamp.
We are beholding one of the great dramas of all time.
The most Trump was ever going to get was a fair hearing and an opportunity for some in Congress to object and vote against the count.
Trump said no such thing.
