My suspicion is that Trump will declare a national emergency and suspend elections at the mid-term if it looks like the Republicans will lose seats in the House.



I doubt enough people would stand for that. He might try, similar to how South Korea tried a similar trick last year - it didn't stick.


The government is already actively ignoring federal courts. Who is going to stop them?


The army isn't likely to stand for this


They’re the most likely to go along. The whole point of the army is following orders. Congress doesn’t have the threat of jail for not listening to Trump.


They already stood for that and voted for him again, where have you been?
