I Googled Thune on nationalizing elections and the headlines seem to disagree:
Senate GOP Leader says he disagrees with Trump....
Top Republicans pour cold water on nationalizing elections.
Thune rejects Trump's call to nationalize elections.
Thune throws cold water...

As Thune noted, it's a constitutional issue.
Did that stop Trump in 2021? I wait to be convinced. This time he has people like Miller actively urging him on with every crazy idea.

It won't be if Schitler surrounds the Capitol with his troops and arrests any members of Congress (all Dems, some Reps) who disagree, then tears up the Constitution.

Paranoid? Yes. Possible? Maybe.

Its possible that Trump might try that.

But, that wouldn't necessarily be "nationalizing an election". It would be a post-election event to overturn the actual results. Its definitely a problem, but a different one than "will trump try to nationalize and election so he can control the voting".

There are a lot of ways American democracy can fail. How the Democrats and other concerned parties can respond depends on the mechanism of failure.
 
close friend and advisor to both epstein and trump recommends ice guarding the polls. so i suppose using federal agents to physically stop people from voting is the next best thing to nationalizing

i doubt they will try only one thing, probably going to come at it from multiple fronts

It'll be both trying to control the election and overturning results.
 
It was designed for wealthy, white males by wealthy white males. Which it has remained true to for 250 years...
so was the British system. But it evolved. So did the US System.
And the US not about to scrap the Constiution for a Euro style Parlimantary system. which have their own problems.

Large elements within the GOP would like nothing more than to consign Trump to the dustbin and this is the opportunity to do it with minimal damage. Remember nobody among the major Republican office holders really likes Trump; they just bend the knee because they know the alternative is political death (see the hilarious MTG saga). And as it becomes clearer that the GOP is heading for an ass-whipping where they provide the butt, you'll see a lot more Republicans peel away from Trump (particularly post-primary).

Color me unimpressed that a handful of Republicans are preparing to do their own version of the Hyenas when Scar was down. Every time between now and this fantasy heel-face turn you predict the Republicans will be shoegazing or supporting his absolute worst antics 100%.

No they won't. A few might go MTG on him if they are clearly doomed, but most will go right on saluting the captain as the ship sinks.

It's unlikely to happen, but one theory I have seen bandied about: After the 2026 elections, if they happen. Vance calls for the 25th to be invoked. The GOP senators that are now safe from being primaried for the next 4 to 6 years back him. Dems, who have control of the house, will be willing to jump on the band wagon to get rid of Trump. Enough of Congress pushes to support that is passes. This in turn will allow Vance to finish the current term to 2028 and still be eligible to run in 28 and 32. Likelihood of happening, yeah right. However, telling 2015 me that Trump would be president twice would have former me laughing hysterically.
 
I have done other material on the IJN carriers. The trail begins with "Nagumo Kido Butai". Haply kaiju hunting, it was fun.

I think I made myself clear. The British Elecotrial system was designed to keep power in the hands of small group..in this case, wealthy landowners, but it evovled.
I just don't get why so many Euros hate the Consitution with such a passion.
 
He's not allowed to say anything good about UK or Europe or bad about the USA without ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ on the UK or Europe.

The USA is never allowed to come off worse
I got a feeling a lot of people just want the USA to commit mass sucide and rid the world of it;s presence.
