Clear signal i think there is a little bit of different calculation and mcconnell will take their vote does it happen in the next 45 days or does it happen in the lame duck .

Im more troubled by the fact that other republican officials who clearly know better are going along with this, are humoring him in this fashion. Its one more step in delegitimizing not just the Incoming Biden Administration but democracy generally. And that is a dangerous path.
