forward: yes, i am counting on the electoral delegates to remember their supreme loyalty, and that is to their country, and the laws, & legal obligations, and to a way of life that respects tradition, honesty and personal rectitude. without those things, we fall. plain and simple.
and, don't forget, kamala harris was in on the fix, as well. kamala harris and joe biden are equally filthy. period.
the only electoral college delegate i have ever met was howard lamb, since deceased, from rural nebraska. he was a successful farmer/rancher, and had been at one time a nebraska state senator, and a good friend to a u.s. senator from that state.
he was a savvy and astute man in many things, not the least of them being politics and the political lessons he had learned over a full lifetime.
he was a delegate to the electoral college in the famous bush-gore race, that of the florida "hanging chad" brouhaha. the electoral college convention was not his first time to the rodeo. which is to say that he was thoroughly versed in matters political, and in the issues to be confronted by the convention.
his son, a yakima, washington attorney named phil lamb had invited me to nebraska to go deer hunting on the family lands, prior to the electoral college, as it worked out. one morning as we were having breakfast his father, howard, got a phone call from reporter in london, england. this reporter inquired of howard lamb if he would vote for george bush when the convention got down to its business, or if there was any chance that he would "kick over the traces," and vote for al gore.
howard lamb was possessed of a sly & droll sense of humor. he told the reporter over the phone, that when al gore's people offered him plane tickets (to some remote place), a false identity and a suitcase full of money he would think about it. there was silence for a while. and, then, howard lamb explained to him what would happen to a republican from nebraska who would abandon his pledge to the people, and the republicans, of his state. after that, there were some perfunctory comments from both before they said good bye.
the point is this. the delegates are party loyalists, not likely to abandon those loyalties. but, they are also extremely well versed in politics, in the politics of their parties, and extremely knowledgeable about current events.
in my opinion they know, all of them, full well who and what joe biden is, and what he has been. and, they are convinced in their own minds, each and every man and woman, that joe biden peddled influence while vice-president of the united states, and took money while in office selling that influence. they know full well that he, and the democratic party, and the mass media tried to steal this election from donald john trump.
if they were like howard lamb, experienced in and knowledgeable about politics, they would not be impressed by joe biden. period. now, we get to the crux of the matter.
"he may be a stupid son of a bitch, but he is my stupid son of a bitch." and old, hoary, but still serviceable maxim in matters political. to this, factor in the fact that they know he is a crook, a seller of influence, and that he tried to steal the presidential election .... this is of slightly greater magnitude than trying to get an old friend a job with the county clerk's office.
in my judgment, which may or may not be faulty, i do not think a single delegate, except for the most rabid ideologue, is likely to be eager to vote for joe biden for president of the united states. this is why john brennan, as crazy a son of a bitch to come down the pike in a while, does not want to see this election go to the electoral college, and is actively promoting a coup to prevent it. this is why joe biden is trying to pressure a concession from donald trump, which he is likely to get when hell is cover by 6 feet of ice.
i don't think joe biden will carry the electoral college.
and, each and every revelation about the fix that was put on the popular vote by computer fraud, ballot harvesting, and people voting from the grave will make it less likely. so biden and the media are putting the bum's rush on the public "to get this over with." but, with each sordid revelation about biden, it is less likely that he will prevail in the electoral college.
howard lamb was a loyal republican, but if he were a democrat to this years electoral college, he wouldn't have voted for joe biden with a gun to his head. no blandishment about party, or this or that, could have forced him to vote for that filthy bastard, ... , a filthy bastard who sold his country, and tried to subvert and usurp the political process by voter fraud to steal an election.
this is why it is important to keep hammering away at the fraud, the phony facade, of a crooked & cynical politician before the electoral college convenes. we need to remind the delegates what this country is about, and remind them that joe biden reflects absolutely nothing about what is good about that.
they know what joe biden attempted. they know who he is. and those things will influence the vote.
