A lot of commentators believe that the Republican Party could split between the "sensible" ones and the Trump diehards. I guess, but then you have the first past the post issue that each section wouldnt be enough to get elected alone - unless the Democrats also split and there is a whole re-alignment. I saw a chunk on CNN also which was saying even with an effective majority in Congress the Democrats wont find it plain sailing because there isnt the same effective whipping of Senators, they are more independent minded. The left of the party will push Biden to be radical but unless he manages the programme skillfully some democrats will vote with the Republicans.

Jimmy_D Posted 6 January, 2021 Share Posted 6 January, 2021 Bloody Hell. I'm watching it, but it doesn't seem real. It's literally the Capitol building overrun. People are flying the Confederate flag inside... It'll be a miracle if this gets resolved without anyone being killed. As it is there'll be people killed by COVID being spread by that crowd.
