No excuse! There are other states, and this tradition is not a requirement. This raises question about Trump’s support of the 2nd amendment with he stealthly nominates anti-gun folks.
Remember that the Senate is 51-49 right now, and two of those are Juan and Lindsay; it’s effectively a Democrat majority.

Trump is playing with fire by doing this because a huge portion of his base is comprised of locked-down 2nd Amendment supporters, and more than a few of them, myself included, will walk away from him in a New York minute. Not a threat, simply a FACT!
