Imagine being so wildly unpopular you have to literally dismantle the Post Office to "win"

And, you have to send your failed son-in-law to chase after a man who may have mental health issues to get him to run as some sort of spoiler candidate.

And, you have to count on a conservative supreme court issuing a shadow docket decision upholding what is surely a poll tax on many Florida voters.

Seems this and more is what it takes to get this small, unpopular man a "win". Republicans must be so proud.

That move is bound to piss off everyone at the same time. Individuals as well as several million businesses.
