Republicans start to relent: 'It looks like it will be President Biden'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Republican Party is in an increasingly untenable position — how much longer can it really refuse to recognize Joe Biden as the president-elect?

Nearly two weeks after the election, there are signs that Republicans are starting to accept reality.

President Donald Trump’s legal campaign to reverse his election loss is crumbling all around him and there’s no mathematical possibility that he can reverse margins of 10,000 or more votes in the five states he won in 2016 but lost to Biden. Meanwhile, the Biden transition is stuck in molasses, and Trump is barely addressing the coronavirus spikes across the country, let alone cooperating with the incoming administration on vaccine distribution efforts.

Most Republicans have been reluctant to contradict Trump’s claim that he can still hold the White House, but there’s been a steady trickle of GOP lawmakers defecting from Trump’s false contention that he was robbed by fraudsters. After Trump tweeted Monday, “I won the election,” Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) told reporters, “I wouldn’t have advised he put it that way.”

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said Trump can and should continue his legal challenges but has “every confidence on Jan. 20 we’re going to inaugurate a president. And it will probably be Joe Biden.”

3. GOP senators trashing their own democracy. And for a losing candidate.

Would hardly believe that if I hadn’t seen it

[torius]

4. Democracy is the new "socialism."

Like science, it’s something only Democrats value and believe in, so the Rs’ mission is to smear, devalue, and destroy it.

5. They have no loyalty to country.

That’s been obvious for some years now.

7. They can't win democratically, so democracy is their enemy

If not for the structural advantages they enjoy in the Senate and Electoral College, they'd never have power again.

8. So true and very frustrating.

6. It WILL be Joe Biden, not PROBABLY, Sen. Cornyn. Getting sick of all of the shading of reality.
