GOP lawmaker patience runs thin with Trump tactics

Instead, a growing number of Republicans are publicly acknowledging that Joe Biden is likely to be the next president and calling on the Trump administration to begin sharing intelligence and other transitions to allow for a smooth transfer of power.

Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), who is close to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), on Friday issued a statement asserting Biden “has a very good chance” of being the next president and urging the administration “to provide the Biden team with all transition materials, resources, and meetings necessary to ensure a smooth transition.”

Alexander, the chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, emphasized the importance of the next president being ready to distribute an anticipated COVID-19 vaccine.

“The prompt and orderly transfer or reaffirmation of immense power after a presidential election is the most enduring symbol of our democracy,” he said.

Rep. Fred Upton (R), a veteran Michigan lawmaker, on Friday said, “I’m not seeing any evidence of fraud that would overturn 150,000-some-odd votes,” referring to Biden’s margin of victory in Michigan.

Upton’s state was at the center of the storm this week. Trump on Thursday invited Republican legislators from Michigan to come to the White House on Friday to discuss the state’s pending certification of the election results. A tally reported by The Associated Press shows Biden leading Trump by more than 155,000 votes in Michigan.

Upton said he didn’t know how Trump’s legal team could achieve success.

“I don’t know what path they’re on,” he said.

Rep. Kay Granger (R-Texas) on Friday said she had “great concerns” about Trump’s persistence in trying to invalidate the results of the election.

“It think that it’s time to move on,” she told CNN. “I think it’s time for him to really realize and be very clear about what’s going on.”

3. It takes time to shred all his crime papers.

And money grabs the kids made.

4. I wonder if this is all about tRump delaying Team Biden's access to Federal data networks.

At some point, one would assume the transition team will be issued security clearances and given access to the dense world of government data resources.

Color me a skeptic if you will, but what could they be afraid Team Biden may discover?......

It may also be Team tRump has nefarious work in progress they want to complete before handing over the keys.

5. Oh no! It's the buyers remorse now that trUMPs' reTHUG supporters finally see the handwriting on the

wall. That's an old saying but then the reTHUGS' doings have gotten old too over the last 50 years. They
have to get out along with tRUMP.
