None at all. Republicans are not a loyal bunch. They’ll all ditch Trump and each one will claim they were never a fan, it was some other people who were. They knew all along he was a terrible person. ---

Not yet but neither are we seeing any coming to his defense. They are all being suspiciously quiet. It’s like with kids. Rowdy is normal. When they get quiet you know something is wrong. ---

> [@Spice\_Weasel](#): > > NBC is saying Trump is leading in GA by. 0.1% with 99% of precincts reporting. True; Trump is still up by ~3500 votes. Most of the remaining uncounted ballots are apparently from several Atlanta metro counties, and are likely to be largely for Biden. So, Biden may well still take the lead through those. > **[Nov 7: Georgia moves closer to finishing vote count in tight election for...](https://www.ajc.com/politics/most-remaining-votes-to-be-counted-today-in-close-georgia-election/6T4GGH4SFZF4NIRU6FGW6Y73VM/)** > > Georgia's vote count continued Thursday as election officials worked to finish processing absentee ballots in tightening races for president and U.S. Senate. ---
