1. Hell froze over?????

Without Ron in it. Damn.

[Wingus Dingus]

2. That's seriously the most intelligent and lucid verbal exchange I'd ever heard from him--

does he just act dumb for Repub votes?

[Kingofalldems]

3. Yes

[lagomorph777]

12. Yeah, weird to see him appear normal for a couple of minutes.

[IronLionZion]

14. Republican voters want their elected officials to appear dumb

they feel it makes them more relatable or something like that

[Mad_Machine76]

15. Telling the truth

has that effect. You don't have to look or talk stupid or use tortured logic to justify unreality.

[h2ebits]

22. +1000

Yes. . . .

[wryter2000]

24. And he was contradicting a Trumper

Interesting.

[Champp]

4. Republican makes grievous mistake: utters a snippet of truth

[MyOwnPeace]

5. Gotta' admit.....

the guy's really on top of it, isn't he?

[Omnipresent]

6. He must have seen a Wisconsin poll...

That shows a majority of voters believe trump lost over the minority of those, that believe in “The Big Lie”.

[Grasswire2]

7. Is he going to go through some things when Trump sees that? nt

8. Politicians count votes like this and do analysis like this for a living

Ron Johnson knows damn well how to analyze the votes in Wisconsin. He's actually explaining to this nut ("I know in my heart of hearts..&quot the way a professional would. Johnson probably knows these totals down to precinct level: he knows exactly where Trump missed those 51,000 Republican votes, and he has a pretty clear idea of why in each precinct.

Here's the thing: every damn Republican member of Congress and holder of statewide offices knows the exact same thing for their own states. They could sit Trump down and explain it to him in exactly these terms. They could sit the right wing militias down and do the same. They refuse to do so.

9. RUH-ROH RON

[2naSalit]

10. All by himself?

Nobody moving his lips for him?

I haven't been paying attention to him for a while so I guess I better check.

[lastlib]

19. There had to be someone's hand up his back making them move......

[2naSalit]

11. ...

Lying fucker. Somebody needs to forward that to Rachel or something.

[bullwinkle428]

13. Hopefully, a psycho primary opponent will emerge, and use this against him.

[Moebym]

16. Oopsy daisy.

His supporters won't like hearing the truth. His days in the Senate may be numbered.

[Alice Kramden]

17. K&R

For exposure

[Grins]

18. And she walked away....unconvinced.

She heard but didn’t listen to what he said. Because she cannot bear the truth. Because they are “true believers” they cannot admit their candidate could possibly lose so it just HAD to be something else.

[2naSalit]

20. She was playing him and got a great scoop!

From what I've seen elsewhere about this.

[oldsoftie]

23. Oh yes. If she believed what she was saying, this would've never seen the light of day!! nt

[oldsoftie]

21. The same reason he lost GA. Republicans voted for biden, Jorgenson or no one.

And then, also because of trump & his idiot lawyers, the GOP lost the Senate runoffs because many many thousands of them stayed HOME because they were told "it doesnt matter; its rigged". Most of those who didnt return were in Red areas. If the same voters who voted in nov had turned out, they would have held the Senate. Perdue won the initial vote; getting more votes than trump.
They dont want to admit these things because it means trump couldnt hold his own. Trump is a LOSER.

[Blue Owl]

25. Face it, fucko -- the Slobfather sucks

[live love laugh]

26. Doesn't matter. Probably said he won after that. nt

[Retired Engineer Bob]

27. This does make some sense

My mother votes Republican without fail. She voted for TFG in 2016, but voted for Biden in 2020. She basically stated TFG was too much of an ass to support.

I suspect she split her vote, and voted for Johnson and other Republicans down ticket. So yeah, mom is one of the 51,000 that handed Wisconsin to Biden.

And no, I will not disown her for her political views.
