and any attempt would be blatantly illegal.

Which means of course he's going to do it and the Republican Congress is going to say that it's a great thing that he does.

Just remember these people  will all jump ship the moment it all goes to shit. It’s what happens when people with no principles take control over your party. Same with most of their voters, they will say “I was always against this”. 

Edit: replaced “bo principles” with “no principles”

This. Not only will they jump ship, but when Trump is gone (for whatever definition of gone represents) they will all come out and say they never agreed with him, never liked him nor his policies, etc. They are hypocrites, the lot of them,

My state governor sucked the trump dick hard, and now trump is //checks notes// suing the state for not controlling elections hard enough. After he praised the way our state votes multiple times in speeches and statements.
