Yeah, it’s definitely a “let’s make sure we have all our t’s crossed and dot our lowercase j’s before we do ANYTHING” type deal, and nothing nefarious.

She win not be confirmed by the Senate unless she resigns her senate seat and is replaced. Simple fact is no matter what post she would be given, the whole of that industry would marshall against her, and the Republicans would almost certainly fall in line on this to their corporate donors. In addition, the senate loves their dumb traditions, and one is that a senator does not vote for their own confirmation. See what Jeff sessions did when he was up for AG. Votes present. Best case you have a 49-50 vote against her. And because of this I don't think Biden would want to risk a very high profile legislative loss this early in his administration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signifyin(g)Monkey Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 RealClearPolitics just pulled PA from Biden's EC vote count, putting him under the 270 threshold: http://www.realclearpolitics.com//favicon.ico 2020 President Election - Live Results | RealClearPolitics WWW.REALCLEARPOLITICS.COM Latest Election 2020 Results • President • United States • Tuesday November 3rd • Presidential Election Details Probably nothing? Yeah, but...to my mind, what you really need to effectively challenge an election result is not just success at court but media buy-in on the narrative. My worry is that we've never had a president megalomaniacal and fanatical enough to actually go so far as to do the work of challenging the result of an election he lost. Trump is crazy and narcissistic enough to try. It's an open question whether our system is actually equipped to deal with it. Yeah, I realize I'm being a bit irrational here--I envy your ability to stay wholly sane on this issue, @sblfilms. Anyway...Swear I'll quit the cray cray paranoia once we're past inauguration day.

Fizzzzle Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 accidentally posted this in the wrong thread I'm starting to focus more on the Senate races in georgia. I've noticed, outside of lindsey graham, republicans in the Senate are divided in how they're treating Trump. Some, like Romney, seem like they're leaving him behind. Mcconnell seems like he's playing both sides. They basically have to decide whether they think georgia flipped blue because A) there are actually more democrats that voted, or B) are there a bunch of Republicans who just voted blue (or libertarian) because they don't like Trump. They have to pick one of those lanes. It's like they either have to double down on the Donald or distance themselves from him. I'm really interested to see the rhetoric we see over the next couple months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signifyin(g)Monkey Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 7 minutes ago, Joe said: RealClearPolitics is now the media narrative. I didn’t mean that; I was thinking more along the lines of it being one media outlet that starts buying into a certain narrative, which gets other outlets to follow. The media largely exhibits herd behavior; if, say, the NYT prints ‘story x’ covering ‘controversy y’, that gives cover for other outlets like WSJ to cover ‘controversy y’. I’d wager that’s one reason why all the decision desks called the election at the same time. I did *not* mean to imply that RCP somehow uniquely dictates what other outlets print, any more than the first person to rush for the exits in a burning theater has some unique telepathic power that commands everyone else to follow. Like, I know I’m being nuts, but my IQ hasn’t suddenly dropped to three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
