In the days following the November 3 election, Republicans tried to dress in tactical rags their cowardice in the face of Donald Trump who refused to accept the fate of the polls. Time would do its work and the president broke his mourning. By stages. It would be a bit long, of course, but you had to understand. Be patient. Do not offend the injured man and even less his base which votes in the primaries. Do not give Joe Biden the “elected president” who would inconsiderately make the defeat, the loser, the devastated suffer.
” The future will take care of itself “, Assured, the air penetrated, the leader of the Republican majority in the Senate, Mitch McConnell. Four years earlier, the same future was already to roll up its sleeves when Donald Trump entered the White House. Its presidentialization was in motion and nothing would stop it, except that it had never happened.
Donald Trump clinging to his derisory theory of a Democratic electoral conspiracy, Republicans have found the dodge. We were going to count ” legal votes “, and the ” legal votes Only. The courts would be seized, and then we would see. We saw. The judges inflicted baffles upon humiliations on the president’s lawyers in the absence of any evidence of the said plot. Including judges appointed by him. Including those of the Supreme Court.
The head of electoral disputes for the tenant of the White House, Rudy Giuliani, has promised, Friday, December 11, to continue the fight until the end of time, to begin with, but on Monday the electoral college will formalize the victory of Joe Biden. Among the 306 votes planned will be the one formally cast by a New York State voter chosen by Governor Andrew Cuomo. It is Hillary Clinton, who will certainly return dare-dare to her house in Chappaqua once her obligations have been fulfilled to water her revenge with a glass of “Chardonnay”. Or even two.
Two choices for Republicans
Their quibbles and procrastination exhausted, the Republicans will now have before them a defeat that still does not want to hear anything, and a choice that can be compared to that of the cinematic dystopia Matrix, between the red pill and the blue pill offered to the hero, Neo. The first will open the eyes. Once the pain is over, they will then see in Donald Trump a candidate drastically beaten twice in the popular vote and unable to obtain a second term.
