Liz Cheney–a bit generic but I’ll take it. Romney’s was stronger.

The peaceful transfer of power is enshrined in our Constitution and fundamental to the survival of our Republic. America’s leaders swear an oath to the Constitution. We will uphold that oath.

Walker gets a Fascist First-Class Medal, then. This identifies you. And, when we win, stigmatizes you to Normal People.

It’s not conceding anything to say you will agree to follow the established process. Except, of course, for conceding your “right” to win at any cost.

Scott Walker is answering a question that was not posed to Trump (“Will you commiit to conceding the election on November 3 if the results clearly show Joe Biden as the winner?”).

He is glossing over the fact that Trump was specifically asked whether he would commit to a peaceful transfer of power and refused, while stating explicitly that he was against “the ballots”.

Little Marco, weak tea, as usual.

Mittens, rethinking your decision to rubber stamp Conehead Barret and give Marmalade Mussolini protection from legal scrutiny? Yeah, just words then, as usual.

Walker, WTF would you know about winning?

And do what? Shoot your neighbor? Your congressman? What does the 2nd ammendment get us if Trump refuses to leave? Open season on each other? Mass slaughter of each other?

Scott Goose-Stepper has made his choice. Let’s hold him to it.

No backsies. No “it was just a joke”. The bastard just said that a fascist attack on the most basic underpinning of a democracy is smart. Hang it around his scrawny neck like a millstone!
