Even the ringleaders of the drive to block Joe Biden’s electoral votes from being counted know their proposals are doomed to fail.

The House and Senate meet Wednesday to receive and announce the results of the 2020 election, and some Republicans will try to challenge them. Here’s why they will fail.

The two GOP senators leading the drive to block Biden’s election, Ted Cruz of Texas and Josh Hawley of Missouri, know that their efforts are likely to “go down like a shot dog,” as anotherThey know Trump’s spurious claims of election fraud went nowhere in the courts, even when they came beforeCruz and Hawley also know that what they are proposing would violate the Constitution. Both brag of their education as constitutional lawyers — Cruz at Harvard, Hawley at Yale.

If Cruz and Hawley challenge the electoral votes submitted by swing states on Wednesday, they will be staging acts of performance art — a show to convince Trump voters that they are the president’s rightful heirs. Exactly. The precedent Cruz and Hawley want to set is that any party that loses a presidential election will now feel free — perhaps even duty-bound — to try to block its certification in Congress.

When will somebody make it clear for tedcruz it’s NEVER going to happen for him. You’re a self hating minority in the Republican Party, that will get you pretty far with them... but you will NEVER be one of them no matter how hard you try.

In four years they will be nothing but a footnote. Shun the liars.

Would Americans realize that recovery of the Republican party begins with voting out TedCruz, MarcoRubio, RonDeSantis, DavinNunes, JimJordan, LindseyGraham MoscowMitch MarkMeadows JoshHawley SusanCollins among other?

Democracy destruction club

Just Stop, they have the Constitutional right to object...but don't sugar coat who they are. If GOP controlled both houses they would install Trump, there is NO doubt in my mind. This could be done by either party, get rid of the extremists.

Another example of the democrat clowns running the LA Times being totally FullOfSchiff. Senators Cruz & Hawley are defending the Constitution!

Cooking analogy. Scum is the foam or froth that floats on the surface of liquid. Scum must be removed before the liquid reaches boiling point. We are way past the boiling point in the Electoral College resistance movement. Next best thing - removal by ballot.

You whitewash DNC crimes

who dat?

The states certified their results. Pence’s job is to count. If they manufacture ANYTHING less than certification of Biden’s win it’s treasonous and a constitutional crisis in the extreme. People would need to flood the streets and demand trump and pence both resign immediately.

They both need to be taken back behind the worlds biggest barn... they both have no idea what the US Constitution is about. FakeAF

They need to be held accountable for using our Congress for their own personal gain. JoeBiden KamalaHarris SpeakerPelosi
