No. 2 GOP senator: Efforts to overturn election would 'go down like a shot dog'
The Hill, Dec 21, 2020

Sen. John Thune (S.D.), the No. 2 Senate Republican, warned on Monday that efforts to challenge the Electoral College vote in Congress next month would fall short in the Senate.

The GOP senator — who has publicly and privately pushed back against the effort being led by Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) — argued that it would be futile to force both chambers to vote on an objection to the Electoral College vote that is "not going anywhere."

"I mean, in the Senate, it would ... go down like a shot dog," Thune told reporters. "I just don't think it makes a lot of sense to put everybody through this when you know what the ultimate outcome is going to be."

His comments come after a group of House conservatives met with President Trump and Vice President Pence on Monday at the White House to strategize on the effort to challenge the Electoral College votes when Congress formally convenes to count and certify the votes next month.

"Big meeting today with @realDonaldTrump, @VP, the President's legal team, @freedomcaucus and other Members of Congress. I will lead an objection to Georgia's electors on Jan 6. The courts refuse to hear the President's legal case. We're going to make sure the People can!" Rep. Jody Hice (R-Ga.) tweeted about the meeting.

Brooks has said he's spoken with Senate Republicans who are receptive to his plan, though none have said they plan to object. Sen.-elect Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) has said he's considering it, something that earned him public praise from Trump. A group of 2024 hopefuls is also being watched closely.

Thune said on Monday that he didn't know of a GOP senator, or an incoming GOP senator, who had committed to challenging the election results on Jan. 6.

The Senate Republican leadership prefers the theft of our government by Marxists to giving 75 million Republican voters a legal avenue for justice.

Hey, Georgia!  Are you really going to reward them?

Thune:

No, sir.

All the MORE reason to object, to expose the "Republicans" who are so eager to consign our country to the inevitable socialism/communism that will be in our future.

Stand up and reveal yourself to us, sir.

How sick and depraved must a person be to use that kind of imagery?

Thune - Yet another Republican politician willing to let the Democrats get away with coordinated election fraud.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

Republicans in the Senate so quickly forget. Right now they would be down 8 seats without my backing them in the last Election. RINO John Thune, “Mitch’s boy”, should just let it play out. South Dakota doesn’t like weakness. He will be primaried in 2022, political career over!!!

Too clever by half.  Rewarding Marxists is Thune's job @jmyrlefuller

In contrast, voting for Marxists to get back at your own party isn't really clever at all. Do you not remember 2008?

Damn. I had money on the nickname being "Johnny Handsome" or "Johnny Hunk."
