GOP Senators Say Georgia Runoff Is Reason They Refuse To Recognize Biden Victory
Forbes ^ | November 10, 2020 | Andrew Solender

Posted on 11/13/2020 2:39:09 AM PST by gattaca

A handful of Republican senators on Tuesday revealed that the vast majority of the Senate GOP caucus has not acknowledged Joe Biden as president-elect out of concern that doing so would damage their prospects in the upcoming Senate runoff elections in Georgia. US-VOTE-TRUMP

US President Donald Trump speaks with Representative Doug Collins (R-GA), Senator Kelly Loeffler ...

KEY FACTS “We need his voters. And he has a tremendous following out there,” Senate Majority Whip John Thune told Politico, adding that while Trump is currently trying to “determine the outcome” of his own election, Senate Republicans “want him helping in Georgia” afterwards.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) told Politico Trump has a “vested interest in making sure we keep the majority,” while Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) said it would “be my hope” Trump campaigns in Georgia, and Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) said he hopes the president is “active” in the race.

Only four Republican senators – Mitt Romney (Utah), Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Ben Sasse (Neb.) – have publicly congratulated Biden, while at least 17 have publicly refused to acknowledge Biden’s victory.

“I respectfully suggest that all of you follow Trump’s lead, or we will have list our nation forever.”

The vast majority of people here support the Senate race in GA, but many are waking up to the fact that the GOP (notice the lack of an ‘e’) is anti-Trump.

Now, before you start to regale me with your Incredible Tales of the Turtle©, let me say that he and his minions have spent the past few months performing some incredible public acts leading to really great, Trumpian successes. The judicial appointments alone are truly gold; however, looking past the electioneering window, what have they done?

It’s amazing how people grow so accustomed to lies that many even find comfort in their retelling. Let’s be adults for once:

The GOP are not “weak-kneed, self-interested, hypocrites;” they are traitors in the camp.

The GOP, as an organization, is no more conservative than the PLA! (Point of fact, many of them are already bought and paid for by the Chinese). The GOP rank-and-file have put up with them since Reagan, but the fight has been dirty, and I can’t remember one time that the GOP seriously stood up to the left—anyone need a wedding cake; a Tea Party; or a 2018 election; better yet, how about an impeachment and false imprisonment?

Trump is a fighter who polluted their punch bowl and the GOP hates him, as proven by their utter lack of support for the last four years. When they have supported him, it was at most tepid. Even you must admit to having questioned their veracity and having held no hope of their tenacity.

All that has changed since the election—they need Trump and the rest of his deplorable Americans. They will court us with everything they can bring, within reason. Don’t expect to see huge Congressional battles (drama and speechifying is great; just nothing bloody), followed by our elites in chains (maybe a couple ignorant, low-level vote harvester), or early morning raids, here or in Germany—unless they’re driven by Trump. When these gutless bastards abandon Trump—whether now, or after they give the election to Biden—will this be enough to force you out of the boiling pot?

The real question is, do we fight now, or later after they have completed the Great Reset™ and have all their agents in place?

So they aren’t opposing a premature Biden victory due to all the cheating that muddied the waters, but so they can get their candidates over the finish line?

Loeffler actually stood up the Wokey McWokersons on that WNBA basketball team that she co-owns, too.

All that you say may be true (and I am no fan of the Turtle or most Republicans, btw), but how does having the Communists controlling both Houses and the Presidency help us? At least we can buy 2 years and the possibility of Congressional victories in 2022 if we have 51 seats...otherwise we are done starting as soon as Schumer gets rid of the filibuster.

Can’t be a Biden victory until the electoral votes are counted.

If Biden wins, keeping the Senate is about buying ourselves 2 more years; Trump bought us 4, and I think that we owe it to him, ourselves and our posterity to buy as much time for liberty to survive as possible.

We may not be able to stop the forces of History from destroying our nation and killing tens of millions (or more, looking at how an ineffective or neutered US would affect the rest of the world), but I will be damned if I am going to let the Left win easily or for free.

If this steal stands; it is already over.

Admitting the GOP has been complicit for decades at least gets us past Claire Wolfe’s awkward stage...

We won’t need Tito acknowledge the steal to do that, the gun confiscators, packed courts (plural), the new states of DC and PR and the 20 million new Dem voters in 2022 will be sufficient.

We’re all on the same page—just a matter of degree.

At this point, Trump is the only reason anyone (outside party loyalists) is interested in the GOP. He picked them; however, if they abandon him, they lose everything.
