“You have no basis for making a statement with the absolute negative certainty that you did, “not a chance”, without a reason. Why is that?”
Because there are not enough legislatures who would do what you suggest. Throw it to the HoR? Trump would never get a majority of states to re-elect him. Politicians are the most selfish of human creatures, and — with the rarest of exceptions — they will always put themselves and their own interests ahead of their constituents. Just think: Why do so many barely-sentient miscreants fight like hell to get elected to public office? For one simple reason: They seek to enrich themselves at the public’s expense.
Mark Twain had it right: “It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.” I posit that Twain was only partially right, because his criticism would apply to politicians in general.
I am just an eternal optimist. Without optimism there is no hope. Without hope, what's the point?
But now that the SC has declined to hear Texas's lawsuit, we're down to slim and none.
I still think Trump can pull this out of the bag. Why? Because he says he will and he is the only person in power I believe anymore. The rest of them are just as you describe.
Boy, am I bummed, just like many others are right now.
Thanks for responding.
