1. After pondering the recent 24 hours of developments in the Nitwit coup d'état, it appears that Mike Pence may not be ready to pass the mantle of the successor to mayor of crazy town. Pence did what his duty and Charles Koch needed and beat back Louie Gohmert's suit but now

2. he has to deal with throne pretenders like @TedCruz and Josh Hawley. I think @HawleyMO is getting cold feet being the one @SenateGOP who signed up with seditious Mo Brooks and Louis Gohmert. But didn't Ted come to Josh's rescue? Maybe not.

3. I read the statute to require them to sate the grounds for an objection in writing. Absent a competing set of electors it simply won't mean anything but delay. Cruz is objecting but not by bring any evidence but attacking the Constitutional procedure to make objections.

4. So today Pence threw the pretenders a curve ball. He's expecting them to put on a case. Now he doesn't run the house and Nancy Pelosi should make short work of each of the objections by simple roll call votes. As the Democrat controlled House simply kills the objections

5. that can't pass without them, TV focus will move to VP Pence's Senate rivals making perfect seditious fools of themselves. With three days to prepare they may top @RudyGiuliani in pure comic relief. And all the while @VP @Mike_Pence will have his enigmatic Mona Lisa smile,

6. while he forces his rivals to all crash and burn in four years worth of @nbcsnl bits set on the Senate floor. @RonJohnsonWI @SenatorLankford @SteveDaines @SenJohnKennedy @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorBraun @CynthiaMLummis @TTuberville @BillHagertyTN @RogerMarshallMD
