1. The financial corruption is bad enough, but his efforts to undermine our elections are worse.

He and Republicans are deliberately trying to destroy any faith that we have fair elections. And now they're plotting some kind of made-up crisis so he can declare martial law and either take over the November election or cancel it altogether. I'll paraphrase Grover Norquist's old quote about the size of the federal government: The Republican Party needs to be reduced to the size where it can be drowned in a bathtub.

Many Party leaders in the states, including local leaders, who support anything Trump says are poised to cheat in this Fall's election any way they can. I guarantee that Ken Paxton is already planning how to thwart voting in Democratic cities in Texas.

I'm not sure that state and local Democratic officials are taking the planned cheating seriously enough.
