“Multiple Senate Republicans unloaded on an effort led by Sen. Josh Hawley to challenge Joe Biden’s election victory as the party hurtles toward its most consequential confrontation with Donald Trump of his entire presidency,” Politico reports.

“Hawley denied that he was trying to overturn the election by challenging the certification of at least one state and forcing the Senate into an up-or-down vote on Biden’s wins. He said he was merely trying to voice his frustration with the election results, arguing this is his one chance ‘to stand and be heard.'”

“But some of his colleagues are thoroughly unimpressed.”

1. Many ways they can smack him down.

The GOP is a CLUB. They can expel him from that club. All the handwringing is theater. Nothing is actually being done.

2. They'll scowl at him for more than 3 seconds as a response

3. If it goes on too long...

Collins may break out her concern rosary.

4. Gohmert

Gohmert is calling for actual violence. These people need to be indicted after Jan. 20.

5. He'll just do what Newt, Mitch, Shrub & the Dick, and plenty of others have done...

Brazen it out, ignore the complaints, and they'll fall in line, accepting the new normal.

They threw out norms and "the reality based community" long ago. Did they think no one would challenge their own? Especially after that Howler Monkey steamrollered it?

6. Is Collins concerned yet?

7. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they think Trump is nuts, too, but they won't say it out loud.

Republicans fall in line.

It is their nature.
