Put GOP before Trump: Mitch McConnell plans speech today pleading with Republicans to save their party and NOT get behind President

Donald Trump's extraordinary crusade to overturn the presidential election will come to a head on Wednesday as Congress meets to certify Joe Biden's Electoral College victory at a joint session led by Vice President Mike Pence.

The typically routine proceeding will be anything but, as a group of 13 rogue Republican senators led by Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley plan to file objections when the alphabetical vote roll-call reaches the battleground state of Arizona.

The longshot effort is all but certain to fail, defeated by bipartisan majorities in Congress prepared to accept Biden's 306 to 232 electoral victory over Trump.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is expected to make a last-ditch effort to dissuade members of his party from following through with their doomed plot when he delivers a speech early in the day.

Sources familiar with McConnell's plans told Axios his speech will center around his fear that the objections will tear his party apart by forcing Republicans to choose between upholding democracy and alienating a hugely influential GOP figure in Trump.

Meanwhile Trump has placed his hopes on Pence, furiously claiming that the vice president could single-handedly overturn the election results during Wednesday's proceedings - and denying a report that Pence had told him that wasn't possible.

Mitch is also blind to the fact that Trump WON the UNPRECENDENTED number of votes in this election....including historic numbers of blacks and hispanics....of which the likes will NEVER happen, again, without Trump???

Is he that ignorant, or just happy to be the MINORITY *leader* with his perks and actually more power intact?

when mitch does exactly what this reporter claims..and you know it fits in exactly with the way Mitch operates...maybe you can accept they do have sources

they also get used as trial balloons..but sadly, this probably isnt a trial balloon leak

Without Donald Trump, the Republican Party can return with the Democrats to the Uniparty. The problem is, the taxpeasants of any political leaning can no longer tell themselves it's not all rigged.

If this fraud is allowed to stand, we're officially no longer a Constitutional Republic but a Kleptocracy. The world will adjust accordingly.

If votes don't matter, neither do politicians. They'll all be replaced with actors and actresses.

It’s astonishing he doesn’t yet realize this. He still thinks it is 2015.

Now the DC political scoundrels unspoken oath of office is to their political party. Imho: First two things the democrats are going to change: confiscate all civilian’s firearms and end the electoral college. Goodbye US Constitution and not a shot fired.

Well, apparently that POS won’t have power much longer anyway. Seems like the House, Senate, and Presidency will all be controlled by the Left.

Sorry. I endured 8 years of Obama. I’m too old to hang in there four more years.

If Trump fields a new party, e.g. The American Party I’ll follow him, but I see no point to follow this stuff day to day.

We have a uniparty, made up of people Like ROmney, McConnell and others.

I’m not even sure if Pence is a good guy.

We don’t register party affiliation in my state (Washington) so I don’t even get the satisfaction of telling the feckless pubbies to FO. I used to be active in local politics, trying to help get Republicans get elected. They would lament, “Why can’t we get elected in this state?” and I made myself unpopular by telling them, “Because you show them that you have no balls. Take a stand and give people something to believe in - for a change”

They would rather be liked then elected - and now they’re neither.

Right on. I have worked in South America ( noting how quickly things change when a socialist and corrupt government takes charge) and see ALL the signs of a revolution beginning. Not a betting man, but extreme civil unrest is coming.
