But if it gets a little too effective you'd get the Republican equivalent of Bernie Sanders and the Squad crashing the Democrat party with no survivors, which Uncle Joe's neolib handlers managed to just avert.

Having a Bernie Sanders left-populist running against a Trumpian right-populist is much better than some grim uniparty regime with no real ideology beyond 'Let's make Jeff Bezos another hundred billion while bombing harmless brown people and selling out to China'.

Whichever way it goes Bezos and China would get the shaft and the harmless brown people won't have expensive materiel wasted on killing them.

2. Challenges to the Election in Congress may not get support from any Senator.

Maybe, maybe not. I think you have the possibility of several Senators that are looking to run for 2024 give out a token challenge despite everything being over now. I'd imagine Rand Paul and Ted Cruz would be in there so they can capitalize on the MAGA movement.

If there's one thing that we're going to see in the runoffs and the midterms is that if you're thinking of going back neocon, then you're going to get absolutely crushed unless you're in a deep red district or state. Georgia's GOP is going to get fucked. They're essentially going to be in the same place that the Florida Dems are now. Arizona might get the same but at least they have people like Kelli Ward and Paul Gosar that still have balls and shit on Ducey for years to come.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch 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 objecting to 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 and Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) also echoed McConnell’s remarks.
McConnell’s warning comes one day after the Electoral College officially voted for Joe Biden to be president-elect. The Kentucky Republican acknowledged for the first time that Biden will be the next president in his floor remarks Tuesday.


Some House Republicans, led by Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), are still planning to challenge the election results on Jan. 6, the date Congress will officially certify them. If a Republican senator joins the effort, however, it will force both chambers to take a vote on the election. But they have yet to get official buy-in from any GOP senators.
Trump has yet to show any sign that he will concede. Instead, the president on Tuesday continued to reiterate false claims of voter fraud on Twitter.

Neolibs and neocons have the advantage of being associated with boring people rather than crazy ones.

Kavanaugh being a cuck doesn't change that fact that Ford is insane and her bullshit should not have been entertained in any way. Also, if Kavanaugh was denied the nomination Trump would have just given it to Barrett instead, and we know how she voted

Yea the Trump voters have been run through the ringer so hard the last 4 years that the power of the finger wag has really waned. There's gonna be a lot of crazy people winning primaries on the sole merit of "I'll fuck those guys and I'll fuck them good!".

If Trump lost to a meme like Bernie Sanders I'd actually believe your gaslighting, regardless of gay-ops involved, no matter how blatant. Biden on the other hand is a charisma vacuum on the levels of lolcows like MundaneMatt and MarzGurl, and no amount of TDS can legitimately help someone as bad as the two lolcows I mentioned. This will (probably) be my only serious reply to your bait.

lol, Trump just is that unlikeable. Cope more

a company compromised in an unknown manner. what is the scale of the compromise?

Don't attempt to comment on matters you don't understand. Finding an exploit in a single product produced by a company does not = that company being compromised or any other products it produces being compromised.

Last patch Tuesday, Microsoft fixed 87 bugs in Windows. Do you really think 'Microsoft was hacked' 87 times last month?

If Trump doesn’t win the idea he’s going to go away is a joke, he should immediately announce a 2024 run. This way if Twitter censors him it’s censoring political speech, and that’s on top of the previous lawsuit about how he can’t block people. It would also give good optics when these NY AG try to arrest him for fraud.

And he will just be a thorn in all the RINOs even more than if they would have just stepped aside to begin with. Instead of giving him eight years to be the “bad guy” who does the good stuff you’re too scared to do you’re probably giving him 12 and also rebuilding the party around him, way to go, great job.

FFS can people quit with the 2024 option? Yes, it's an option. No, it's not practical.

Trump and his family will not make it to 2024. Death, ruin by trial, imprisonment, damnatio memoriae, call it what you want. And this is only the aspect of actually being allowed to run. The DNC made it pretty clear, this will be the last time a republican ever had a chance to win. Next time the cheating mechanisms will be refined and even more advanced, and there will be a few million more foreigners voting blue. It's now or never again.

He cannot simply concede given how dirty this election has looked. Except this to continue for the next 4 years about how dirty the system is.

Honestly, I don't think he'll concede at all. If there was anytime for him to do it, it was yesterday. But by judging his recent posts on Twitter, I think he'll fight on.

It's the fact that they expect Trump, after 4 years of shitslinging and being aware that he's an outsider, to just roll over like a good GOPe official, baffles me.

But then again, it goes to show that they're still huffing their own farts and haven't learned a thing at all. Rather, they just aided in burning down the classroom.

If he leaves office he'll do it in a statement of "there is no longer any current legal recourse to contest the fraud" way. He cannot give even the slightest bit of legitimacy to this election if he intends to keep his base together.
