And if they try to pull this shit, it’s again civil war time. No one was willing to go to war over abortion, or the presidential immunity nonsense, but this strikes at not just American democracy, but the very heart of American self-image. I think these grifters know that if they go that far, their gravy train will abruptly derail, and I can’t see such corrupt assholes giving up that much for Trump.

I hope we find out … that the number is _zero_.

Trump fanatics finally coming to their senses _en mass_ is the only way I see the US getting out of this hole any time soon.

Yes, but that’s not the same thing as winning an election. That’s screwing with the rules and trying to get by on a technicality. Because Trump above all else must not be seen as a girly-man LOSER. Fred drilled this into his head from a young age.
