    The 2020 election was fraudulent to a degree that no other US election ever was. You on the left are never going to admit to that because it was you on the left who benefitted from the fraud.

    Waidaminnit. There is not even one shred of evidence that there was fraud in the 2020 elections that could have changed even one single election result.

    Also, Trump filed 60 lawsuits about this theme and lost 59 of them.

    Also, for instance, the REPUBLICAN elected officials from Georgia called out all of his lies.

    I mean, how much longer do you plan to live in this fantasy world where Trump won in a landslide and everything was stolen?

    Actually there was one where the votes got swapped and the wrong candidate was declared the winner. Maybe it was an accident though, who knows.

    To me, illegally changing the election procedures to benefit your party is fraud. I believe it made a difference. In fact, I think they know it did as well and that is why they are using many of these new procedures in HR1. Of course the Supreme Court refused to review the case, before and after. This is a violation of their first amendment right to address grievances... I wonder if you can sue the Supreme Court for violating your first amendment rights... Hmmm

    The only procedures that were changed were quite literally due to a pandemic known as COVID-19.
    Most of those procedural changes were in Pennsylvania, which has a Republican controlled legislative. It was the Republicans who made those changes.
    The SCOTUS refused a number of cases for very specific reasons, the most important of which was that the plaintiffs brought absolutely no evidence of fraud and when specifically asked about fraud, those lawyers who were screaming "fraud" from the rooftops outside of the courthouses suddenly lost their testicles as soon as they were inside said courthouses, because they did not want to perjure themselves.

    Simply not true.

    The fact of the matter is that the 2020 election was the most investigated, scrutinized and litigated election in the country's history.

    why would they only benefit one party? Were not the voters of both parties allowed to use the new rules and procedures?

    Over the next two years there will be a lot of push and pull in the GOP in regards to President Trump Supporters. What can not be missed is that in spite of all bad press that President Trump got in the last election, he still managed to get 75 million votes. Yes, he took a hit from the capital riot, but that was offset by the DNC overplaying their hand yet again. People have seen that for what it really was. Now, the former President plans to be apart of the 2022 and 2024 election cycles. You can bet the left will try to plant the issue of a great divide amongst the GOP. But that divide is not nearly as large as the divide between the DNC and the Progressives. The further the progressives drive the party left, the more people they will leave behind. Without a viable third party, those people will be driven right into voting for GOP candidates. This will put the country squarely in GOP hands. Will the DNC learn from that? I doubt it!!!! They didn't the last time.

    Why do you think former President Trump has his attorneys send a cease-and-desist?

    If you are talking about them using his name to campaign, it's so that he can have a larger say in who is allowed to run in the GOP. Also it makes him look bad if his name is used to promote bad candidates.

    Well, could that be because he did not give his permission to use his name and likeness in fundraising material? Could it be that such use of his name and likeness would run counter to the fundraising that he is doing for his own PAC? Seems pretty straight forward to me? Why not you?

    From what I read on it, it sounded like he was not willing to promote any Republicans that voted for his impeachment. I can understand why he wouldn't want his name used for that if he feels so strongly about it.

    I don't eat, sleep and breathe based on the actions/inactions of former President Trump. I was asking the question to find out what a die-hard Trump supporter felt about it. Now I know.

    This is incorrect and I refuse to allow people to inflate the figures.

    In reality, Trump garnered: 74,225,038 votes, which rounds, at best, to 74.2 million, NOT 75 million.

    By contrast, Pres. Biden garnered: 81,285,571 votes, which rounds to 81.3 million.

    Therefore, Biden's popular vote margin was +7.1 million.

    Again, Trump did not win 75 million votes. He won 74 million, or you can correctly round it to 74.2 milion.

    It means that Cassidy is part of the Uniparty and is thus part of the problem.

    Yes. The "problem" is with those who fail to surrender all thought or principle to worship of the Great Dear Leader and blindly lick the boot of his august personage, obviously.

    I wish this wasn't where the GOP was headed, and I thought they'd honestly do a 180 after Trump left office, but now they blindly swallow even the dumbest of conspiracy vomit just to keep the Trump train going. What a pity.

    McConnell is starting to bend the knee again now too. The Emperor has quelled the internal rebellion. Death Star II is under construction as we speak.

    He didn't appeal to enough voters to lead him to victory - so are you suggesting that he is the best there is? That would be, in effect, conceding that the Republicans can't win again.

    I think you can find more opinions about politics than anything else in American life.
