A crafty old turtle?
By Douglas Herz
According to Politico, as noted in the Dec. 16 American Thinker , Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his lieutenants are warning Republicans not to object when the electors are certified on Jan. 6.
… McConnell warned Republican senators Tuesday during a private caucus call not to object to the election results on Jan. 6, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
McConnell told his caucus that challenging the results would force Republicans to take a “terrible vote†because they would need to vote it down and appear against President Donald Trump. Senate Majority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) and Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) also echoed McConnell’s remarks.
Senate Majority Whip John Thune also added:
"I understand there are people who feel strongly about the outcome of this election, but in the end, at some point you have to face the music," Thune (R-S.D.) said Monday evening. "I think once the Electoral College settles the issue today, it's time for everybody to move on."
Why would McConnell, Thune, and Blunt vote against Trump and for the Biden electors? Could money be at the root of their treachery? They certainly won’t collect much, because each will certainly be defeated come time for re-election, no matter how much they spend. In fact, no Senate Republican who votes for the Biden slate of electors on Jan. 6 might ever be elected to public office again. So this reason doesn’t make sense.
