    this + the fact that lara trump is firing people in the rnc and devoting all funds to trump only should spell disaster for downballot races.

      “I am altering the deal. Pray I do not alter it any further.”

      Looks like the guys who like to have the existence of “the line” just found the essential flaw in that system: There’s no way to tell when you suddenly might find yourself on the wrong side of it.

      How much you want to bet that a lot of that money is going to end up being used to pay trumps legal fees, fines and settlements?

      They’re likely going along with it on the basis that they no longer care about downballot races, or even the main race, intending instead for Trump to seize power & install loyalists by force.

      I don’t see their plan working, but there’ll still be considerable chaos & violence during the attempt.
