It appears that the Governors, Secretarys of State, and State Legislatures have saved our democracy.
And many of them are Republicans.
Not since the days of Goebel has anyone seen a propagandist with the brazen gall of Rudy Guiliani.
He appeared before some of the Arizona State Legislature and was permitted to say all sorts of made-up crapola that he would not dare to say in court. Because he understands when he is under oath.
He told them that the Governor of Arizona would not meet with him. He was an envoy of Donald J Trump.
At almost the same time, Governor Ducey was signing the certification papers for the election in Arizona, declaring Mark Kelly the winner in the Senate race and Joe Biden the winner in the Presidential race. The law in Arizona required Martha McSally to step down on a specific day and the Governor had no choice but to follow the law.
Trump was watching the signing on TV and called the Governor. The Governor had the phone on "vibrate" and laid it aside. If the sound had been on, it would have played "Hail to the Chief", to let him know the call was from the White House. That seems to be the official explanation?
But, from a distance, it appears that there are a few Republicans that are willing to stand up for our country, our Constitution, and our Democracy. They are not part of the cabal of hypocrites in the Republican Party now occupying Washington, DC.
Let us hope that Donald Trump gets the message.

... but the GOP leaders still fear his mean tweets. Chump's tweets are still calling up the rabid base at every opportunity. This won't change until he is finally FINALLY banned from Twitter.
Perhaps after January 20th?
I believe if enough people complain, he can be banned.
But I'm not a Twitter user, so what do I know?
