CMRivdogs Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Wading in deep here. There was a 1/6 memo…. http://cdn.cnn.com/cnn/2021/images/09/20/eastman.memo.pdf https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/20/politics/trump-pence-election-memo/index.html Quote The Eastman memo laid out a six-step plan for Pence to overturn the election for Trump, which included throwing out the results in seven states because they allegedly had competing electors. In fact, no state had actually put forward an alternate slate of electors -- there were merely Trump allies claiming without any authority to be electors. Under Eastman's scheme, Pence would have declared Trump the winner with more Electoral College votes after the seven states were thrown out, at 232 votes to 222. Anticipating "howls" from Democrats protesting the overturning of the election, the memo proposes, Pence would instead say that no candidate had reached 270 votes in the Electoral College. That would throw the election to the House of Representatives, where each state would get one vote. Since Republicans controlled 26 state delegations, a majority could vote for Trump to win the election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasfh Posted September 21, 2021 Author Share Posted September 21, 2021 It's becoming clearer by the day that once Republicans take control of Congress and the White House together—after having driven out all the remaining moderates, that is—that might well be the end of two-party power-sharing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 would be nice to see Manchin and Sikema agree to toss the filibuster over a debt-ceiling bill. It's probably even a better justified 1st step to get rid of the filibuster than a voting rights bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her podcast with Amy Walter was pretty interesting. They interviewed Trump (2016)/Biden (2020) voters about the GOP. Basically, a lot of them are delusional. They liked Romney, they liked Bush but voted for Trump because of the traditional gravity to vote against Dems. Then decided that Trump was stink on ice but now think the party will revert to previous types. Not realizing that the money in politics and culture shift has ended that entirely.

That’s the thing here that scares be about Youngkin. He’s trying to be Romney in the general but if you read between the lines his supporters are still Trump. At the same time I realize a lot of folks are lukewarm on MacAuliffe. And just about everyone west of Richmond has gone off the deep end.

Sure, it's Bush's clout in Wy that I would doubt. It feels like he's in a deeper hole with 2022 Repubs than Jimmy Carter was with 1992 Dems.

The GOP is a cult and she is an enemy of Dear Leader. The only way she wins is if she does a Murkowski and eschews the Republican party and runs as an independent and tries to appeal to common sense Republicans and Democrats (conservative in her state), with the pitch of, your Democratic candidate won't win, but do you want a Trump nut job to win?
