The GOP is actually positioned fairly well at the moment, but the remaining Trumpists decide to act suicidally

 Look, you knuckleheads, the makeup of the Senate depends on the two runoff races in Georgia. This is no time to be harassing that state's secretary of state based on your desperate delusions of the VSG still having a chance:

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Monday that he has come under increasing pressure in recent days from fellow Republicans, including Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, to question the validity of legally cast absentee ballots in an effort to reverse President Donald Trump's narrow loss in the state.

In a wide-ranging interview about the election, Raffensperger expressed exasperation over a string of baseless allegations coming from Trump and his allies about the integrity of the Georgia results, including claims that Dominion Voting Systems, the Colorado-based manufacturer of Georgia's voting machines, is a "leftist" company with ties to Venezuela that engineered thousands of Trump votes to be left out of the count.

The atmosphere has grown so contentious, Raffensperger said, that both he and his wife, Tricia, have received death threats in recent days, including a text to him that read: "You better not botch this recount. Your life depends on it."
"Other than getting you angry, it's also very disillusioning," Raffensperger said of the threats, "particularly when it comes from people on my side of the aisle. Everyone that is working on this needs to elevate their speech. We need to be thoughtful and careful about what we say." He said he reported the threats to state authorities.

Answer this honestly, leg-humpers: Is this about shoring up the prospects for the advance of conservative principles and policies, or going to any lengths to demonstrate your devotion to the most unfit president in US history?
