Republicans have become a "win by any means" and "at any cost" party.

The thing is, they've already won.  They have the SC and probably will hold the senate.  Why do they still need Trump?

Absolute power.

If Biden had not decided to adopt and defend the anchor baby agenda he would have won in a landslide?

Anchor baby like Barron Trump?

Joseph R. Biden Jr. has pulled ahead of President Trump in Georgia, a state with 16 electoral votes that would bring him to 269, or within one electoral vote of the presidency, if he were to win. If Mr. Biden wins Georgia and then Nevada or Arizona — both states in which he is leading — or Pennsylvania, where the continued counting of ballots is methodically erasing Mr. Trump’s advantage, he will become the president-elect.

Barron Trump's presence did not hurt unionists by creating competition for blue collar jobs or inexpensive housing.

Checked last night before bed,  Biden was down 1700 in GA,  woke up he was up by a thousand.   I could say forget NV,  but no,  it would be better to stay on the AZ/NV path so that a recount in GA becomes irrelevant.   Save Peach State some money.

And Biden now has the lead in Pennsylvania, as well.

The leads in GA, NV, and PA will do nothing but grow during the day today.

We'll see if the narrow lead in AZ (just above 47k at the moment) survives. I think it will.

But now... North Carolina needs to come through for President-elect Biden. And maybe Mr. Cunningham, too. Wouldn't that be a lovely surprise!

And, of course, the two Georgia senate runoffs.

Congratulations to Joe Biden.

Hoping to still grab AZ and GA - the 2 states as of now I was wrong on.

Nice job by Senate Republicans and some House newbies.  Be careful in January, Mr Perdue and Ms Loeffler.

Rather than respond here to any fictional fraud claims or conspiracy theories launched by Trump yesterday,  I will refer anyone to this thorough factcheck by Glenn Kessler....

Not going to cut/paste because,  AFAIK, the WaPo is still allowing free access to election coverage.   

LUEE,  yes,  I don't see slumlord tactics working for him here.   A lot of his suits will just get tossed immediately.
