WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's refusal to concede electoral defeat has Republican Senate allies slowly inching toward acceptance that Joe Biden will be the next president.

...

“We’re going to have an orderly transfer from this administration to the next one,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told reporters on Tuesday. “What we all say about it is, frankly, irrelevant.”

Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., who narrowly won his re-election race, told NBC News that Biden is “probably” the president-elect based on the results, but added that Trump is “entitled” to mount legal challenges.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a staunch Trump ally, said he has launched a one-man effort to inquire on Trump's behalf in states about ballot counting.

1. They inch toward acceptance???

They'll be onboard with a Biden presidency in 2025. That's how slow they're "inching."

2. In other words, polling is not moving in their favor

These clowns don't take a dump unless the polls are favorable.

3. They will be dragged kicking and screaming

like their Master.

4. It's too late for the reTHUGS. They had their chance in 2015 then again to finalize

impeachment. They're all treasonous bastards and should be treated accordingly.
