If any party instigated a coup against its nominee it should've been the RNC

For all the rants by the GOP about how the Dems instigated a coup and forced Biden to step down, it is they who should've done this with Trump.

If they had done this back in 2016 even before the Access Hollywood tapes, they might have spared us the nightmare presidency, the prevalence of hatred in our nation and the threat to democracy.

Sure, they probably would have lost in 2016, but this would've given them the opportunity to purge the MAGAts and other fringe RW nutjobs as they supposedly tried to do after the 2012 election.

So thanks for nothing GOP, in your craven quest for power you all brought massive damage to our country. In other words, sit down and shut up!

If Harris had jumped the gun and we were now in a mess with a bunch of democrats raising hell about it, I would be pissed. She got enough people to get her the delegates so slick it had to be the right call. Looks good to me.
