re: #367 BeachDem

Don’t know about Cillizza, but Jennifer Rubin does:

If you believe in the rule of law, democratic norms and institutions and decent public debate, Republicans must pay a heavy, heavy price for indulging Trump. I am compelled to agree with Wittes and Rauch: “The goal is to make the Republican Party answerable at every level, exacting a political price so stinging as to force the party back into the democratic fold.” (That’s small “d” democratic.) Whether you think the GOP is salvageable or not, to reelect this crew in the midterms is to complete the capitulation to Trump’s anti-democratic brand of politics. All Americans are compelled to stop this.

I worry that maybe they’ve already cut a deal with Russia for the midterms. Maybe a bunch of Democrats who thought they were registered to vote are going to find out suddenly in November that they’re not. Or maybe the Russians have enough operatives at enough state-level SecState offices to have been able to have access and hack the counting machines.
