Better? It is not a big deal with me, it is an effective political strategy and it is not at all surprising that this card is being played.

Jan. 6 committee Chair Bennie Thompson says the U.S. came close to losing democracyMuch better, Thanks. I have sensed - not from pundits, etc., - but from individuals - that they believe that if Mike Pence had gone along with the crime and paused for the substitute electoral slates, that the resulting delay and chaos would've altered our government to where elections become hazardous and thoroughly disputed. I don't think we're close to that - yet.
It is very much am effective political strategy, but it also has a lot of truth to it. Doesn't it Mike?

"I have learned a lot about how perilously close we came on January 6 to losing this democracy as a lot of us have come to know and love it."<snip>
