Yeah. His explanations are just excuses. That's why he comes up with a new one every time the Dems give him what he wants. He's trying to sound reasonable because he can't just come out and say he doesn't want voting rights, he doesn't want Democrats to win.

I wonder if he has thought through the real long term ramifications of this, not just for us (which apparently isn't his concern) but for himself.
