Cruz and Co Attacked from the Right!

Far-right Republican comes out against GOP stunt to overturn the election in the Senate

Cotton comes out swinging!

In a statement released late Sunday evening, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) explained why he doesn't support the Republican effort to overturn the 2020 election to hand the presidency to Donald Trump.

"The Founders (sic) entrusted our elections chiefly to the states-- not Congress. They entrusted the election of our president to the people, acting through the Electoral College -- not Congress. And they entrusted the adjudication of election disputes to the courts -- not Congress. Under the Constitution and federal law, Congress's power is limited to counting electoral votes submitted by the states," said Cotton's statement.

He also argued that if the Senate continues to demand the election result be changed, "it would not only exceed that power, but also establish unwise precedents."

I guess "unwise precedents" is one way of saying ripping the hell out of whole American system of civilization and creating Vladimir Putin-orchestrated chaos on the North American continent.

I wonder what his motivation is? No question he's positioning himself for a presidential bid, but I don't see how coming out against Trump can do anything but harm. I guess he will, for the time being, have that part of the stage to himself.

I think Cotton is realizing that for 2024 not being a Trump Chump is the ticket to higher office. In the next four years Trump's importance will fade as he is tried for various crimes and offences, he'll fade in importance as is wealth in frittered away in legal fees.

Besides he needs to screw Cruz as hard as he can to keep Cruz from being a force in the party.

But will it fade, I wonder? I don't think the deplorable are going to just crawl back under a rock.

On that, I agree. Maybe he's taking a gamble that Cruz will end up on the wrong side of history, in which case he's positioning himself on the right side.

Cotton or someone like him will pick up the deplorables and carry the flag, but it won't be Trump, could be Junior? I expect there will be a dog fight to claim the Deplorables for 2022 and '24, unless the DOJ comes down hard on the Seditionists and puts a few of them in jail.

I'd like to see all 140 odd Rethugs who singed up for the Sedition to be stripped of office and given five years in the greybar Hotel.

 

[YDB95]

I'm still hoping no one will be able to rally the deplorables like Trump did. There is cause for optimism: it probably requires a combination of ego and shamelessness that even most right-wingers don't have.

Tomorrow we will see 12 Senators and 140 House members commit sedition for the first time since 1861. They should all be stripped of their seats and citizenship. Preferable I would like to see them stripped of any Federal benefits and made to obtain a work visa just to find employment and maintain a US residence.

It's not sedition...words mean things, look them up before you misuse them and make you look even less educated than you already have.

Not supporting liberty loathing socialist shit stains like you and your beloved JoeMala doesn't qualify....not anymore than that purely partisan sham of an impeachment.

 

[WillJ8787]

It's seditious and treason.

Your the only one here calling for an overthrow of the electoral system. You and your 500 alts to make it look like it more than just one dummy.

 

[nowisthetime]

Let them eat each other alive.

They will also blame Dump if they lose GA.

No, it's not.

I'm not calling for that....why must you make shit up??

Hey troll, define sedition.

 

[KeithD]

It's sedition now that they are saying they're going to continue with this nonsense. Later today, it will become treason when they actually do it.
