If something like this transpired, something THIS improbable.... then it would become clear to me that it is an engineered hard coup. It would be time to respond accordingly.

At the moment, we are picking up a US Senate seat in Alabama and looking good to pick up another one in Michigan.
The Dems will NOT take the Senate. Period.

In her dreams!

Of course, that's part of their strategy: throw the election into chaos, and she comes in the save us all from ourselves.

It's an old, old, old, old ploy.

And to hell with the American People!

Not so fast, reps are voted on every 2 years but senators are voted on every 6 years, staggered 2-2-2. So if the house cannot properly convene Then the senate probably will convene and the current president pro team of the senate is Charles grassley.

Voters who are undecided are stupid.

On the one hand, we have these people, and on the other hand a man who motto is "Make America Great!", who donates his Presidential salary to charity, who says: "The best is yet to come!" who embraces the American Flag!

Nobody with and IQ above moron-level has any problem with this choice.

It won’t be her-— making a biiiiiig assumption she would be the Speaker. She obviously doesn’t know the Constitution— only the parts she thinks it says.

But if the House delegation results in a 25-25 tie and the Senate can’t agree on a vice presidential winner, Pelosi would become acting president, according to the 1947 Presidential Succession Act.

Congress convenes at noon on January 3rd. The terms of the President and Vice President expire at noon on January 29th. So Pence would cast the tie breaker.

One would assume for himself.

Indeed this is true— and part of my previous comment here. She is making, as usual, a LOT of assumptions, including there will not be a clear winner...EARLY and by NOV 3rd night.

Really arrogant drunken trollop, who has been there waaaay too long.

I thought that this scenario was disproven. If, for some reason, no candidate receives 270 electors then the “incoming” House decides the President and the “incoming” Senate decides the Vice President.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contingent_election

The only way Pelosi becomes President is:
* Democrats hold the House
* She rallys a majority of House votes to select herself

Very unlikely.

If they do this, it is an overthrow based upon fraud and we will revolt with all that implies.
