There is 0% chance any of Trump’s lawsuits end up before the Supreme Court.
Do you think that clogging the legal system and hindering the transition of the administration have no negative repercussions at all? Its not just fun and games. If another set of handlers need to get a jump on dealing with the pandemic, this egotistical delaying stuff can cause avoidable deaths.
Okay. Do as to move on with the actual discussion and avoid the deflection.
And there was the late John McCain and Jeff Flake from Arizona who decided against running for his seat again because his numbers were so poor after the many remarks that made many people realize he was a RINO.7_Sorrows:
I feel like “center” has been progressively shifting to the right. Some of today’s democrats look like yesterday’s republicans.
True. There are some that are not behind him. Mitt Romney now comes to mind. Being behind him does appear to be a popular position within the party.
What makes a person a republican in more than only in name?
The populist wing of the party took over, and Jeff Flake’s version of Republicanism was overtaken. To call him a RINO is to not acknowledge the changes in the party 4-6 years ago.
Hence the issue.
The whole RINO, CINO, DINO usage has always been subjective. Not surprisingly the person using it is the ideal against which all true Scotsmen are measured.
“it is not clear”. Isn’t that what they were doing? Why are you in favor of throwing legally-cast ballots out?
I’m not.
Do you realize how this can be abused? The default should be that a citizen cast a ballot and if for whom they voted can be determined, the vote should count.
Is there is a transition, wouldn’t you prefer the new administration to be prepared?
Yes.
I think you know that’s not what I meant, but, whatever. Let’s call it quits on this.
Actually, no.
It’s easy for a poll worker to say, “Uhm, I can’t count that one. Yeah, that’s it. Can’t figure it out” for ballots from an area that historically votes a certain way.
That is not what was happening in Florida.
However, in that case, the Supreme Court ruled that the team approach like that was a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment. Only object standards, standards used everywhere, was considered constitutional. For example, they could have a statewide standard that chads with two corners hanging constituted a vote. Or three. Then that same standard would have had to be used statewide, not just in the urban counties.
Excuse me. Let me restate. A team applying objective standards that are being used throughout the state is better than throwing all questionable votes out.
