The rest of 'em are campaigning on "getting to the bottom of the 2020 election fraud."

"Of the 86 with discernible stances, at least 42 have said outright that the 2020 election was stolen, called the results illegitimate or said they would have voted not to certify. Another 11 candidates have said there was enough fraud or irregularities to cast doubt on the results of the election. Just 13 said the results were legitimate."

On a near-daily basis, Trump beats the drum -- via his Save America PAC -- on the false notion that he was somehow robbed of a victory. And that only "real" Republicans support him in this effort.

"Mitch McConnell does not speak for the Republican Party, and does not represent the views of the vast majority of its voters," Trump said in a statement earlier this month about the Senate minority leader. "He did nothing to fight for his constituents and stop the most fraudulent election in American history ... If Mitch would have fought for the election, like the Democrats would have if in the same position, we would not be discussing any of the above today, and our Country would be STRONG and PROUD instead of weak and embarrassed."

The insanity just keeps on coming.

1. It's not all Texans running, it's REPUB Texans!

From the linked article...
"A bit of quick math produces this: Just 9% of Republicans running for Congress this year are willing to publicly state the fact that the 2020 election was free and fair. NINE percent."
