Pu......lease

Did this author forget about cheating? Democratic district polling stations closings?, Throwing black and Hispanic sounding names off the voter rolls?, reducing voting times?, the 24/7 disinformation campaign on RW radio in Red States especially? Fox News?, Putin and homegrown troll farms?, hackable voting machines owned by Republicans? A stolen Republican SCOTUS, plus the hundreds or thousands of new Trump judges appointed to help with those rulings on things like blatant gerrymandering?...etc etc..

I guess whatever you need to make you feel good. I live in a more cynical world. Its not as pleasant but its based in reality based on history.

In fact, I think Trump was the best thing to happen to the Republican party in the long run. When Trump is finally gone, and I think he will have a good chance to win in 2020, but when.....the New Republican party will emerge from the ashes to proclaim they are not, and never were, supporters of Trump (just like after Bush and Cheney left, they were ostracized and not invited to conventions anymore) Graham will say he was taken out of context and was always against Trumpism. It will be back to the hard right, from the extreme right bordering on fascism. Our allies will be lauded once again, Russia will be an enemy again, and they, the GOP, will be the ONLY party that takes national security seriously.

And everyone will breathe a sigh of relief, especially the MSM like CNN and even MSNBC who will be able to go back to their safe false equivalency MO and get away with it because they don't have this unpredictable baffoon to deal with on one side who has made it impossible for the MSM to carry on with the both parties are the same mantra.
