“Top Republicans in Washington are reluctant to call Joe Biden the president-elect publicly, fearing a rebellion by grassroots conservatives loyal to President Trump that would sink the party’s Senate majority,” the Washington Examiner reports.

“Republican insiders privately concede Biden ousted Trump and dismiss suggestions voter fraud, ballot errors, or other issues would be uncovered sufficient to alter the election. But with the president claiming otherwise and two Georgia runoff elections set for January that will decide the Senate majority, plus midterm elections in 2022, most congressional Republicans are backing Trump. The move is purely transactional.”

1. Trump being a sore loser is going to flip those seats blue.

2. Runoff is January 5th. Do they think they can delay

certification of the results or somehow declare RUMP the victor?? They are INSANE.

3. Fuck their "fears"

4. So is it a coup or just a bunch of political hot air?

McConnell says Trump has the right to pursue legal channels. He doesn't say if those legal channels have any merit.
Perdue and Loeffler call on the Georgia SoS to step down. And then he tells them to worry about their own races.
Barr says that he will investigate claims of fraud IF they're significant and changed the outcome. He didn't say those claims exist.

People are reading more into these statements than is there.

5. Eh, so let's be seditious instead!

What the heck is wrong with these assholes?

6. I think they are mistaken.

Biden won Georgia which is where the Senate runoffs are happening. I think they would have a better chance of winning the runoff if they weren’t acting like children having a temper tantrum.

7. These motherfuckers better end up in jail.

8. Trump NOT conceding will cost them the Senate.

I hope like hell Georgians come out and vote with a vengeance for Warnock and Ossoff - send the GOP a message that they shouldn't have fucked with Biden/Harris.

10. But do not underestimate Trump's and Barr's ambition

They will push and push. They do not care if it breaks the country. The GOP are fools to let them do this.
