Santorum turns traitor _Former Sen. Rick Santorum, a Republican from Pennsylvania, slammed President Trump’s claims of election fraud, saying that his were not factual and “was at times incendiary.”_ _No Republican elected official will stand behind that statement,” Santorum said at CNN’s special election coverage._ _The former senator went on to criticize the President over his claim of voter fraud without evidence._ _“We don’t know that right now, and for the President to go out there and claim that without any evidence of that is dangerous,” Santorum said._ ---

Maybe this will finally ease the PTSD I still have from the 2000 election. I had nightmares of being attacked by hanging chads, pregnant chads, and dimpled chads. 2016’s election only made things worse, and the dreams changed to Hillary giving her concession speech dressed in a suit made out of hanging chads. It’s time for all of that to stop…Donnie, you’re fired. ---

What is the deal with NC anyway? No one seems to be talking about it since it looks like Trump will take it, but it seems to be stuck in neutral. At least with Nevada there is a reason which is that no one there moves quickly unless you tip them. ---
