@RICGARNI good point. I guess this would also be an easy out for Loeffler/Perdue to avoid answering the question....thnx — PolitiTweet.org

Some potential here (although partisans would likely prefer "Hawley's Folly") — PolitiTweet.org

So, if the dissenting R House members are "Gohmert's Pile," what do we call the dissenting R Senators? Cries out for a shorthand. Do your thing, twitter. No "gangs" allowed. — PolitiTweet.org

@davidaxelrod Too easy. But kudos, still...and happy new year! — PolitiTweet.org

Given that next few days will include much spec over which Senate R's join w/ the Hawley/Cruz's, here are the members I'm most curious about (if any have already weighed in, pls advise) 1) Perdue 1a) Loeffler 3) Rubio 4) Lindsey 5) T. Scott 6) Grassley 7) Shelby — PolitiTweet.org

re-upping this from 12/31 -- via Sen Sasse/ "When we talk in private, I haven’t heard a single congressional Republican allege that the election results were fraudulent — not one. Instead, I hear them talk about their worries about how they will 'look' to Trump’s supporters." — PolitiTweet.org

@KFILE I heard this analogy years ago and it stayed w/ me: When a tree is uprooted, it leaves a big hole. Over time, other trees, flowers, etc grow around it. New beauty and wonder appears. It becomes your world, in all its perfection and jagged edges. But the hole always remains. — PolitiTweet.org

@Wallacewriter well, if you include the at-risk suburban R's -- who P/L need badly -- that's shaky. And then the hardcore Trumpers that they need (also shaky) — PolitiTweet.org

In general, it's been a really bad few years for, well, The Pale. #RIPPALE https://t.co/1rAUlQEmEn — PolitiTweet.org

Are Perdue/Loeffler on record about this? I'm guessing this issue will take up much oxygen in GA over next few days -- and not in a good way for P/L. Bound to alienate some part of already shaky base. — PolitiTweet.org
