If McConnell and the Senate republicans obstruct and refuse to work with Democrats on the

pandemic, healthcare, etc. I am hopeful that they will pay the consequences if they do that in 2022, and it will be even more focused depending what the SC does with the ACA

Does he think, if he wins, that he will be treated any differently than he's treating Biden now? No. He knows its game over once he's out of office. Hard to run a campaign from prison. So, this is Trump's last stand. He'll go kicking and screaming like the little person he is.

who will vote for anyone with an R beside their name. If Trump pardoned Jerry Sandusky and he ran for office, Republicans would vote for him. I live in Trump country and I know a lot of Trumpers and none of them show a lick of critical thinking or reason. Trump followers are all cultists.

... the state governors assign new ones every time for votes.

Wont have to do it but 3 or 4 times for really important legislature.

Just as good as any other tactic seeing Trump is going to be the leader of the kGOP until he dies and nothing is going to get done with them leading anything
