It isn’t as bad as the political media makes it….
McConnell has his control over the majority of Republican US Senator’s…
Anybody feel sorry for the Majority Leader ?…I don’t...
But the Trump ‘supporters’ , who are actually looking out for themselves, ARE making noise that is looked as anti-McConnell….
One would think that if Tuesdays vote comes in FOR Democrats twice?
Things ARE gonna get hairier for the Grand ole’ Party….
Three days after Mitch McConnell told his colleagues that the vote to certify the presidential election results on Jan. 6 would be “the most consequential I have ever cast,” a dozenRepublican senators have now publicly endorsed objecting to the Electoral College tallies that will make Joe Biden’s victory official.
In short, there’s a growing rebellion inside the GOP conference instigated by President Donald Trump, who promises more GOP senators will join the effort and also called for mass protests in D.C. on Wednesday. (Yes, the Proud Boys and right-wing militias will be there, and, yes, there is cause for concern about the prospect of violence.)
We can’t say this emphatically enough: This does not happen to Mitch McConnell. For four years, the Senate leader has managed to maintain order in his ranks as Trump unleashes daily mayhem on the GOP from the White House. That’s all gone to hell.
As a reminder, here’s how this happened: Trump manufactured election fraud claims, which led his supporters to believe those false claims, which led these Republican senators to cite “unprecedented allegations of voter fraud” and “deep distrust of our democratic processes” as justification for their Wednesday plan. Circle of life….
Note…
Over in the House?
McCarthy doesn’t counter the Trumper’s…
