    So many members of Congress proud to be making baseless objections (baseless given the multiple failed changes to prove any basis) just to save their arses. So little dignity.

    This seems to me a rather strong piece of evidence against Trump 2024. He needs the oxygen of the media to continue to shape the party. They might cover him again post-Presidency, or enough of the right-wing media might for him to be a force in the primaries, but if his tweets and speeches and so on stop getting news coverage it will be a significant force in a possibly rapid fade from relevance.

    I'm trying to remember who it was, who after losing his election, in the council sports hall, went next door to the local boozer and spent the rest of the night buying his opponents champagne. Which being an old style British boozer, they had to send for.

    Reminds me of my first budget meeting as a new councillor in 1995. The Tories had lost control of the council for the first time since its creation in 1964. Tory councillors were so shell shocked at a budget going through against their opposition that they tabled 29 amendments, insisted on debating them all separately, and demanded a roll call vote on each one. The debate continued until nearly 4 am the next morning, when the Labour/LibDem budget was finally carried.

    Very good letter by the Vice President, though some Trumpites are already calling him a traitor on twitter so it may not do his 2024 nomination chances a great deal of good.

    Get on Cruz then who will lodge an objection to the casting of the EC votes on behalf of Trump.

    Any GOP Senator who fails to lodge an objection will have a black mark against them ahead of 2024 with the GOP base so can likely be ruled out of the nomination battle and they or any GOP Representative who fails to object will also face a Trumpite primary challenge when next up for re election

    Probably both a deregulatory and some sort of populist emphasis to go with the current phase of Brexit - but for the kind of all-singing, all-dancing opinionated TV news they probably want, to get ratings and distinguish themselves, without a law change they'll most likely to struggle.

    Some may indeed be opposed by true Trumpskyites in primaries. BUT not all. AND not all who ARE opposed will lose their nomination.

    For example, methinks that any wingnut running against US Sen. John Thune in South Dakota, will discover they are running into a freaking brick wall.

    AND if wingnut DOES prevail, could well end up handing the seat to the Democrats. Like the wingnuts did re: Kansas governor.

    Trump's reaction to losing the election is a bit like some pro-Europeans reaction to losing the 2016 Referendum.

    If he'd put as much effort into actually winning the election as he has put into overturning it then he might have actually won the election in the first place.

    That's a stupid point on both counts. Remainers accepted they lost the 2016 referendum, and Trump campaigned very hard to win the election.
    Reading this forum there is scant evidence remainers have accepted they lost in 2016
    You always say stuff like this without basis. Just like you pretend that this forum is full of labour supporters when its actually quite balanced.

    That's a stupid point on both counts. Remainers accepted they lost the 2016 referendum, and Trump campaigned very hard to win the election.
    Reading this forum there is scant evidence remainers have accepted they lost in 2016
    You always say stuff like this without basis. Just like you pretend that this forum is full of labour supporters when its actually quite balanced.
    There is one particular poster who tweets daily anti brexit comments as he has not accepted brexit and there are others in the same vain

    Actually it seems there is a good contingent of lib dems on here who will never accept brexit
    Scott, like me can claim the Bill Cash Amendment.

    The UK is still a democracy, things change. My ghost will be cheering on the day we join a Federal United States of Europe.

    By the way it's all kicking off in DC.
    Only just a democracy, when we can be confined to our homes for up to three months by law, and a parliamentary vote (after the law is enacted) is only granted as some kind of favour to the government party’s own backbenchers.

    Even Mitch wants to get rid of Trump now :D

    Soon, it will be the other way around.

    Trump has the numbers.
    Are you suggesting the Commander in Chief has been keeping his powder dry for a domestic event?
    No, Trump is going.

    But the old Repub party is totally finished. People who didn't fight with Trump are going to get primaried in the next two years and beaten.
    Third party nailed on, I think - Lincoln Project either takes back the Republicans, or more likely starts a new party.
