Supreme Court is afraid of him and so is the party, if approval rating was zero then maybe the party would turn on him but if not there’s no hope.

There might be elections but anybody in an area that is blue will be taking their life into their hands to go outside and vote and they’ll probably end Mail in voting even though legally they can’t.
