whether the GOP calculation is it could wipe out a bunch of the less fortunate who vote for Democrats.

The GOP had to fear the changes coming in demographics. Maybe they see this as a potential reprieve by thinning the ranks of those who vote against them.

Horrible thought but I wouldn't put it past them.

Or maybe if it can get really ugly, Trump sees that as his best path to retain power.
