Harwood thinks Trump might try to sink Loeffler & Perdue to strike back at McConnell for conceding

[highplainsdem]

this morning:

Link to tweet

Barr had no choice but to recognize reality: no major election fraud

now he’s out

McConnell had no choice but to recognize Biden’s win

he’ll soon find out how selfish and destructive Trump wants to be

by sinking Loeffler/Perdue, Trump could put McConnell out of his job too

Editing to add a tweet with video of McConnell congratulating Biden and Harris this morning:

1. Good. Do that

[greatauntoftriplets]

2. Works for me.

[highplainsdem]

4. Me, too.

[Jarqui]

35. +1

[marmar]

3. Go for it!

[KS Toronado]

21. Thanks, Kenan is one of my favorites on SNL

[Hassin Bin Sober]

33. He cracks me up.

[Karma13612]

40. Haha!!

I love his gameshow host persona.

He really is a very talented guy!!

[babylonsister]

5. That would be sweet-I know mf45's brain works that way. Just do it! nt

[intrepidity]

6. Oh please oh please oh please

for once let his selfish tantrump result in something good!

[malaise]

7. Fine with me

NoscowMitch doesn't give a shit - he's not well

[sboatcar]

8. Trumpers have already started chanting "Destroy the GOP"......

And what I don't get is that Republicans seem to think that siding with the unruly mob could have had any other effect.

[C_U_L8R]

9. Trump wants a cliffhanger finale

A real narcissist's 'I'll show all of you' moment. What's the worst that could happen? Imagine worse-r.

[Wounded Bear]

10. He says that like it's a bad thing...

[CrispyQ]

11. Crosses fingers.

Foolish frogs. They knew he was a scorpion.

[bullwinkle428]

12. Nah. RW voters are way too lock-step to allow that to occur. I live in

Iowa, so I have way too much experience in knowing how that usually works.

Which means that Democrats still need to do everything in their power to maximize GOTV.

[Cosmocat]

20. Mostly agree

I do think if 45 wants to swing his dick on it he can put a dent in the R turnout for the GA runoffs, but coin flip if it would be enough to get past the life or death battle against the evil liberal boogyman these people have been brainwashed at the root level of their grey matter.

[klook]

50. Correct.There's one thing Republicans hate more than anything else.

And that's Democrats.

No amount of infighting will keep them from the polls to deny Schumer the Majority Leader position. Our only hope is to outnumber them.

Fortunately, there is a chance of doing that. It'll take everything we've got.

[malthaussen]

13. It's conceivable. Mr Trump has no loyalty to Party...

... if the GOP so misunderstood him as to think he was on their side, they could be in for a reality check.

14. Oh mitch is sooo brave.

[Buns_of_Fire]

15. You show him, Mr. Not-For-Long President!

Pootie likes you best, anyway!

[still_one]

16. I wonder if the republicans will finally realize that trump never cared for the party, or the

country for that matter. It was always about him, and how much the grifter could con people while enriching him?

[hlthe2b]

17. when one ties one's fate to the devil... Seems it ought to have been obvious before now.

[still_one]

42. Absolutely

[localroger]

18. If Trump can't win, neither can anybody else

The only thing worse than losing to those bad evil Other People is being eclipsed by someone on your own side who isn't a bad evil Other Person who won when you lost. So yes, he'll do everything he can to drive the GOP into the ground now that they have failed him.

[pandr32]

19. That'll work!

[greenjar_01]

22. Trump's influence and ability to influence something like that fading fast

And everybody knows it.

Moscow Mitch might be a lot of things, but he's no fool. he knows Trump is done, and it's only the lunatics clinging on now.

23. Free Republic losing it

Why in the name of God would we reward McConnell with a senate majority?

To: SaxxonWoods
Mitch, thanks for assuring me that I never need to vote again. It will save time watching and worrying over candidates.
Us conservatives are about 25% of the Republican base.

Mitch will be serving coffee to Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi and President Harris if he isn't careful...

To: Abbeville Conservative
ANOTHER ONE FOR THE GALLOWS, LET THE GAMES BEGIN! SC/BG

32. Good idea to check out FreeRepublic

Here's one comment that makes a lot of sense, actually. Consider it a word to the wise, ie the Dems.

Republicans couldn't be happier with the outcome of the election.

They made gains in the House and in statehouses. They're set up good for redistricting next year. The 2022 midterm elections promises to be an opportunity to retake the House and shore up the Senate, --a Senate that they'll probably keep barring a catastrophe in Georgia. Biden will be able to get nothing accomplished without deep compromise.

And all of this plus they got rid of Donald Trump. Do not kid yourself. There's not a single elected GOP official who is mourning Trump's loss.

As far as they're concerned, the 2020 elections couldn't have been better

55. lol.. Why indeed!

[highplainsdem]

24. Loeffler is aware of the risk - she just tweeted she'll never stop fighting for Trump:

56. Be Just Desserts if that Backfired

on her in Georgia.

[rocktivity]

25. "By sinking Loeffler/Perdue, Trump could put McConnell out of his job..."

With a little help from the majority of Georgia's electorate!

[FakeNoose]

48. Love it! This is the best thing that could possibly happen

Come on Georgia Dems! Be the heroes and sink the GOP to oblivion.

[wryter2000]

26. Delicious

Be still my heart.

[Crowman2009]

27. I'm loving all this right-wing cannibalism!

Pass the popcorn please?

[Blue Owl]

28. Awesome -- let him make himself useful for once

[Tarc]

29. Hmmm, have to think about that

[PatSeg]

30. Ha, ha, ha!!!

[BobTheSubgenius]

31. Perhaps Ben and Jerry could offer him ice cream for life to sweeten the deal. So to speak.

I really don't care why he does it, as long as he does.

[Demsrule86]

34. God I hope so. K&R

[Richard D]

36. This will be . . .

. . . the only good thing *45 has ever done.

[GoCubsGo]

37. You knew he was a snake when you let him in.

It works both ways with these two assholes, btw.

[wiggs]

38. He could do a lot worse to the gop. They were in bed together in all manner of

cheating, corruption, treachery. The RNC and NRA and many gop leaders are vulnerable. That's one of the downsides to working with the mob...everyone owns everyone else.

Oh, and all the foreign interests who funneled money to the gop through various means also own them. they have no independent future as an organization, and some of them as individuals (Nunes, Graham, McConnell too although he is probably smart enough to cover tracks) will always have the fear of being exposed hanging over their heads...unless they come clean (as Cohen did, partially) and start over.

Losing the senate would be bad for the gop, certainly, and not just in terms of who sets policy. Investigations would actually happen fairly...and some people and organizations would have to take the fall, but over the course of months and years. Trump, or one of his co-conspirators, could burn it down in a matter of hours. And may very well do that...after all he may get the pardons he needs to protect himself. And as we've seen...retribution, cruelty, and domination are the points...reasons for almost everything he has done his entire life.

[orangecrush]

39. Yes!

[birdographer]

41. How great would this be???

Our country really could be, well, hate to use the words, great again.

[LAS14]

43. What sweet revenge! FOR US!!! nt

[marie999]

44. If a narcissist feels you did something to hurt them they will get even.

It is very possible for Trump to hurt the GOP in the Georgia election.

[Martin Eden]

45. One thing's for sure

Trump doesn't give a rat's ass about the Senate or anything else that doesn't benefit him directly -- and if he can't be president, then vindictiveness is his primary motivation.

[Lonestarblue]

46. Someone should suggest to Trump that he start his own political party.

He’s such a successful entrepreneur that he should be able to do this easily, and he would be ensured of total loyalty. I’m sure he would get at least 20 million people to join his party, and they would all love him. I would love to see that happen because it would splinter the Republican bloc.

[Hekate]

47. Please proceed... Sir

[Jay25]

49. One could only hope

[Andy823]

51. Well that's the way

a narcissist works. They punish anyone who dares go against them, and they hold grudges for life.

There is no doubt in my mind that trump would not try and get his revenge by using his cult to NOT vote in Georgia's election next month. The only way he "might" not interfere would be if the GOP made some kind of a deal with him that would greatly benefit him.

I can also see him using a loss for the GOP to gain MORE control over the party for the next 4 years. I guess we will see what happens soon enough.

[sheshe2]

52. Do it.

[electric_blue68]

53. 🤔...... I see no problem with this 😁

[Cha]

54. I did read trump went to Georgia

and mostly talked about himself instead of loeffler & perdue.. nothing new there.

Wouldn't that be something.
