Simply put the GOP is going to let the steal happen, if they have anything to say about it. Cowards.

They're not cowards ... they're delirious with joy.

The swamp is safe!

I hope Alabamians are reminding tuberville of all that. He might need some help stiffening his spine.

When I moved to Tennessee, I was surprised to hear the term Yankee still used. And it still means the same thing. And they don’t like them moving here! Lol

McConnell is the harbinger of death for the Republican party. Time for a new party.

And I know of the perfect man to lead one!

“So the betrayal isn’t that the Republican leadership is not acting - the betrayal is that they are not encouraging the state legislators to do the right thing. Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, Bill Barr, the Republican Governors in GA and AZ - should be cheering the Republican state legislators on - but they are doing the opposite.”

“That is the betrayal.”

Spot on and bears repeating.

And he should have hired competent lawyers.

According to some, no major firm would take his case because their management said their current clients, their future clients, and the Democrat party and so on, would either drop them or not use them again. Since no major firms were hired, this may well be the case.

McConnell, Thune and Cornyn should be worried about their own political careers. Their advise to the other Republican Senators will result in their grossly limited time in office. McConnell wouldn’t have won re-election if it weren’t for Trump. Vote as you will gentlemen but if you remember nothing else remember this….. WE WILL NOT FORGET!

Fighting battles that can’t be won isn’t a good strategy.

They all seem to be managing their political careers pretty well.

should be cheering the Republican state legislators on

What Republican legislators are those?

The Republican Legislatures of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Arizona have appointed 73 Biden/Harris electors.

Is that what you want to cheer on?

If there is no fraud why won’t they allow an audit

Because they are winning. Why on earth would they agree to an audit?

If Trump wins, Tuberville and all those that objected will be hero’s

And if he loses, Tuberville will be on the short end of a 1-99 loss in a club where that really matters.

Trump should have taken pre-emptive action before the 6th of NOVEMBER

It seems obvious to me that Trump has been trying massively to take Constitutional means to challenge and correct the fraud. But States and ALL three of their branches have been failing to follow not only their own State Constitutions, but the Federal Constitution. They are in REBELLION.

SCOTUS has cowardly bowed out.

The Federal Legislature is discouraging a challenge to the EV fraud.

That leaves the Federal Executive branch to correct this revolutionary overthrow masquerading as an election in swing States.

Trump is in a very hard place. He is a man of tremendous integrity and courage. All hate this. The constitutional oath he swore means something. Are there enough men and women of similar faithfulness positioned in the Executive Branch and throughout the United States to challenge this revolutionary coup?

I've heard this described as an 1860's moment. But here the commies have gone for the brass ring big time from within and throughout (there are less clear geographic lines, although one might argue from the recent Texas suit, there may be of a sort -- coast vs center). If this is not the moment to exercise Article IV powers, then we have truly lost our Constitutional Republic.

It is 1775.

The point is, these efforts to overturn the election are doomed to failure and only dissipate the strength necessary to resist the Biden agenda.
Try posting a strategy that has even a remote chance of installing Trump instead of Biden.
