the cheating won’t be enough to save the Republicans from themselves

Dunno exactly what you mean but I think it really depends, and one of the things it depends on is how violent things get and in what way. Also I said "somewhat real" not "fair".

That's fair. Sorry I changed your words.

The polling is an absolute disaster for Republicans, and a greater than usual number of House Republicans have announced they aren't running again. Even with all the voter suppression and fingers on the scales, they can't make up those margins. Almost all the special elections have gone Democratic too, even in Trump areas.

Vesesuela might have helped Trump a bit with (some) Hispanics, but it's going to drive his numbers down with everyone else.
