Suppose Pence went along with the cockamamie scheme to refuse to certify electors, nobody gets 270 votes in the EC, the election gets thrown into the House, and Trump wins ("wins"). Would you regard that as a coup? |

And that's how I see the whole crew; lots of yapping about what they're gonna do, but too timid to actually do it. |

Pence would not get the lion's share of blame: It starts with the president. Pence would have been following orders ........ |
