I'm glad Rand explained why he voted they way he did (he felt it would be wrong for Congress to overturn it), but unless I'm missing something, I think he is the one who didn't understand of what was being asked, that is to turn the power back to the state legislatures, which is where the constitutional authority resides. He was about the only one other than Trump who I trusted (probably not the best word) in the whole of government, and his vote really turned me off since. As for Snuffleupagus, what a demonic idiot like the rest of them.
People are angry and should be angry but the truth of the matter is Trump’s team and his allies in the house and senate did a terrible job presenting their case. Except for Cruz.
When he spoke even Democrats reacted positively. He should’ve been the lead man on this.
Anyway, even many staunch Trump supporters I know in the legal field have told me they would have been reluctant to pull the trigger as well. The case was never made very well, and there is the damnation of precedent.
Take a look at Mike Pence, for example. He might have felt that if he had done what he “should have“ done, what would prevent any future election from being determined the same way? Let’s say, in four years, Democrats get their asses handed to them, make up a bunch of fake cheating evidence, and the Democrat vice president decides to completely undo the will of the people, and either refuses to certify or sent it back to the legislature that is dominated by Democrats? Once you open that door, it’s not closing again.
Look, expensive than the right thing, the very next time Democrats were in the position to steal an election this way, they would twist what was that pensive done, the circumstances surrounding it, invented cheating evidence that didn’t exist, and under the coverage of a biased press and with the help uniparty sycophants, just reach out and take any election they want by faking a fraud case.
They would lie and draw equivalencies to what Pence had done.
It would have been a lot easier if the good guys had made a decent case, at all. They didn’t. I have no idea how to communicate, no idea how to present facts, none. Everyone thinks the truth should speak for itself, but there a PR consultants for a reason. They lock people in rooms for hours and train them on how to speak, for a reason. The boil everything down to pat catchphrases for a reason.
