Add the Michigan certification vote to the list of Trump epic fails

Trump pulled out all the stops, using all the powers of his office, including leaning all over the Michigan legislature and he got his ass handed to him - with a huge assist by his own team who refused to go along.

Interesting that the state legislators, whom many thought would steal the election for Trump, have shown more courage and commitment to democracy than US senators and members of Congress

The only reason they didn't play Trump's hand was because it was so weak. Even the yahoo who is not a Michigan legislator but one of the four responsible for the certification abstained after getting the mountain of facts dropped on him.
