In reply to the discussion: I wonder if they're panicking in Trump Tower. [View all]First Speaker
(4,858 posts)16. The Dems should deny *any* GOP "President" legitimacy...
...and simply claim the election was a fraud. This won't prevent Pence--or anyone else--from assuming the office if Trump goes down. But the Dems should deny, deny, deny any legitimacy he claims, in that case. Keep saying the "President" is a fraud, boycott the State of the Union speeches, and--above all--deny the legitimacy of their Supreme Court appointments. As for those who say this will create a Constitutional crisis--one, the Repubs wouldn't hesitate were the shoe on the other foot; and two, we're already *in* a Constitutional crisis--the worst since the Civil War. The Dems of course won't do this--it's impossible to imagine the Democratic party going for the jugular. But they should.
