For too long, Republicans in this Senate wanted to have it both ways: they want to feed the ugly lies and nullify the Obama Presidency while also claiming that they can govern responsibly.Dems are going to hang the long- running Republican extremism around vulnerable Republican Senators' necks, with the added anchor of a Trump or Cruz candidacy -- and good for them.
Well, that game is over. Candidates motivated by bigotry and resentment - candidates unable to govern - candidates reflecting the same extremism that has been nursed along for seven years right here in the United States Senate - are on the verge of winning the Republican Party's nomination for President, and now Republican Senators must make a decision.
Because here's the deal - extremists might not like it, but Barack Obama won the Presidency in 2008 by nine million votes. He won re-election in 2012 by five million votes. There were no recounts and no hanging chads, no stuffing the ballot box or tampering with voting machines, no intervention by the United States Supreme Court. No. President Obama was elected the legitimate President seven years ago, and he is the legitimate President right now. [Ed. note: Ouch! That had to leave a mark.]
Here's the video of her speech to the Senate.
