He can’t rig the midterms. He knows it. That’s why he needs to get to state of emergency asap so he can do the Zelensky thing.
He is dying in office. Only way out for him is the Hitler way, he’s already too deep.
Watch the Jack Smith testimony they buried on New Years eve. He has no life as a free man, he’s effectively imprisoned himself in the White House.
He knows it’s over, that’s why everything he’s doing looks like there’s no tomorrow.
The dude projects like nobody else, and literally wrote “maybe it’s our last Christmas” on Christmas. And Christmas is important to him.
He’s just the distraction. The question is what happens when he’s gone? Will Peter Thiel keep pestering us with another attempt at the anti christ or are people going to ex-boyfriend him?
It’s not like the rule of law means anything to him but, there is no mechanism that I know of that allows him to cancel elections.
Even if he could, everyone in the houses term would just expire next January. Senators leaving could just be appointed by governors I assume, but again I know of no mechanism to install house members without some sort of election.
Before people jump all over me, I want to repeat, it’s not like he respects the law, but if he did there is no mechanism for him to cancel elections that I know of.
