    Will this lead to conspiracy theories? There will probably be more publicity about mega-donors. How much influence will they have in the election:

    Does it really matter?

    Progressive Democrats have the ultimate campaign warchest - the entire Federal budget which they can use to buy votes.

    The Democrats don't care if the Federal debt goes to 1 quadrillion. That's a 1,000 trillion which is the next stop on the Democrat gravy train.

    If they were smart, they'd use all $100M to watch ballot counting.

    He was wrong. Now he’s a family sportive crazy with his daughter whom you now think is a “great public servant” now because she’s a January 6th supporter.

    Yes , I think Liz Cheney is a great public servant.

    But how sad it is that a women who stood up against those who wanted to overthrow US democracy is not a “ great public servant” to you. simply because it doesn’t fit your political narrative.

    Not sad at all. Your party has blown January 6 way out of proportion to cover up for the summer riots of 2020. Before she joined the January 6 Committee, you thought she was the devil incarnate. After she went RINO, you think she’s great.

    Nah, she earned her praise because she didn't tow the Trump line like so many other spineless Republicans did, which she had already proved she wouldn't do before Jan 6th happened.

    So you don’t have problem that a group of people wanted to overthrow election result? You don’t have concern that sitting POTUS told his VP to throw away election result?

    Yes, I disagree with Liz 100% of the time. But at least she draws the line somewhere. For you , there is no line which can’t be crossed by GOP as long as they are in power. May be you are not sad about that, but I am.

    Oh, there is a line, and the fools who entered the Capitol on January 6 crossed it. But there was no way that they were ever going to overthrow the government. That is all in your collective Democrat brains. The smart people in your party know that the January 6 Committee was nothing but a political dog and pony show at taxpayers' expense.

    Apparently your line doesn’t include sitting POTUS telling his VP to reject legitimately election result?

    You can justify the J6 all you want. It doesn’t change the fact. Trump wanted to overthrow election result on J6 and use his VP.

    I know what Trump wanted, and it was stupid, counterproductive, even for him, and wrong. I didn’t justify J6. I called the people who entered the Capitol “fools,” but in your party, everyone has to be in lock step mouthing the same opinions in the same words. I won’t apologize for not living up to the Democrat Party standards.

    Every criminal act, every murderous act, every election fraud, every bribery is counterproductive and foolish. They are still a criminal.

    Trump wanted to overthrow US democracy and legitimate election result. You can call it stupid, you can call it counterproductive, you can call it “fool” all you want , but it is a criminal act, it is a treasonous act. If Congress does not investigate treasonous act, then what should they do in Congress?

    What if Trump wins in November? Will you oppose calls for Vice President Harris to invalidate the vote of the Electoral College? I could see Democrats doing that.

    What if Trumps wins? It’s not what if , Trump has 50-50 chance to win in NOV.

    I would oppose it. if VP Harris try to do anything to subvert the election result. VP Harris has no constitutional right to send the EC back to state. I don’t want Trump, that is not a secret. And I will complain about Trump next 4 years if he wins election. But if we can’t respect our election process then we are done as democracy. Anyone , on my side or your side wants to undermine election result must be punished.
