With only 16 days left in office it is clear that Trump’s post election power grab has failed but his actions have now split the Republican party. Trump has his cadre of enablers who maintain their loyalty to him and will raise objections when the electoral count is read on Wednesday. They are driven by personal ambitions and not by their oath to the Constitution. They keep on saying that their intent is not to invalidate the election outcome since they only seek future election reforms. That is an argument I won’t accept! But in recent days other Republican lawmakers have emerged who are rebuking those who are election result obstructionists. Their comments on obstruction is that they are playing with fire, it is an egregious ploy threatening our democracy and it is basically anti-democratic and anti-conservative. I expect more Republicans are now forced to take a stance sine Trump’s infamous conference call with the Georgia Secretary of State demanding that they find by hook or crook 11780 votes in some funny recalculation maneuver. That demand is a criminal act. It is election interference by every definition. Unfortunately we can’t expect Trump’s behavior to change before he has to leave the White House. He will inflict more damage to our democracy because he can’t let go of the fact that he is leaving the presidency as an election loser.
