We need to pivot to a hard line position of opposition. This stuff makes us look like weak simps. Accept so we can be relentless in bringing them down.

not that he wont come out of the house the winner, but the less legitimacy this asshole has, the better.
and let him hang around the party's neck like a dead animal.

Would it be worthy of a chuckle or two? Yes. Would it have an impact on the ultimate result? No.

the trumpfuhrer will be installed. It's what the fat cats want, the majority of his base, which and who are racist pigs driven by fear of the person not white racist male or female and What our Congress is, as a majority in both HOUSES. And soon Supreme Court. We have four long years of fighting to just survive coming up.

If he doesn't get 270, then the house decides. Then we can hold the House responsible for tRump, just as we hold SCOTUS responsible for W.

I choose not to speculate.
