You can bet that if Republicans get blown out as they deserve, Trump will declare the election invalid and set up a constitutional showdown to which he's bringing the military, which has been cleansed to remove any Trump opposition. This fall is going to be very interesting in these interesting times.

The real problem is that if he claims the election is a fraud, it just gives his moron followers a false justification to go ahead and rig the elections next time because “they did it first”

That's what's been happening for the past 10-12 years. We can't shut him up, we just have to win so decisively that it doesn't matter.

Interesting to think of foreign influence campaigns in the context of Trump v. Slaughter and the possibility that any president could potentially turn to the darkside and work against the good of the country as a whole.

"Tip the scales." Why not call it what it is? Subverting democracy.
