    How do you know he didn’t....the media I suppose ?

    We have had the fair public analysis. That’s what you always leave out. That’s what the certification process IS.

    Here was an interesting play yesterday, by a GOPPER from Texas

    SNIP
    Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas objected to seating 67 elected House members from battleground states today, in response to his colleagues that plan to object to certifying the presidential election results.

    Hard to argue with that logic.... If there was MASSIVE Fraud against Trump, surely that fraud extended to every 2020 elected official from those states??

    Obviously, Chip failed in his objection....

    Called it. Easy call actually.

    Eager to read the next batch of horseshit from those that believe Trump won the election though.

    The punishment that McConnell’s going to deliver for this dog and pony show is going to be epic. Mitch doesn’t play around. I certainly wouldn’t want to be Josh Hawley. Tuberville might as well kiss his Senate career good bye. The only assignment he’ll get with Mitch around is cleaning toilets with a toothbrush:)

    After being assaulted by trump’s rioting cult during the certification, many of them realized they were abetting a coup attempt and refused to go on.
    Your boy trump is shedding supporters by the hour, and those still willing to be in his cult are now totally discredited by the rest of Americans.

    LOL. I can't wait to hear your new line telling us all that Trump really won the election.

    Face it.

    There has been ZERO evidence of ANY election fraud. Not ONE of the many court cases has presented ANY evidence of election fraud.

    So, your whole post is just plain nothing but support for sedition - sedition supported by the Republican party, not just Trump.

    As if there needed to be any more evidence of Trump's sedition, there is the full taped phonecall of Trump attempting to coerce the Georgia governor to overthrow their November election results.

    The entire Republican party has some serious work to do. It's just not acceptable to have a political party that is full of seditionists and domestic terrorists.

    Dude, we are on the same side... Read my post again....

    The GOP guy argued that if Trump's election was "rigged", then so was the election for every Congress person in those 6 states, and thus none of those people should be seated.

    Since they were seated, it's essentially a tacit admission by all of them that there was no fraud, or whatever, in those 6 states.

    SNIP
    Roy is among a group of seven House Republicans that have said they do not support the effort to vote against the certification of the Electoral College vote.
    ENDSNIP

    Actually a clever attempt at 2-D chess by a GOPPER... You have to give them credit when they do come up with something outside the box, because it certainly doesn't happen often.

    Woops on me - and my apologies. I should have known, too, as I like your posts.

    The various claims by Republicans are all too often difficult to interpret given the context of their sedition.

    I wrote off the implications concerning other Arizona elections on the grounds that Cruz and the national party can pick which elections to most strongly oppose. I'm sure they would state that there are many individual contests which are resulting in the seating of the wrong candidate.

    What has happened over the last MONTHS is an historic tragedy that is not ended by seating the candidates who have prevailed.

    As I'm sure you would agree, the damage goes WAY beyond the presidency, and it continues to be fanned by significant elements in the Republican party. It won't be slowed by simply prevailing against the insurrection.
