Put me in the group who believes Trump will attempt to steal or obstruct the midterm elections. [View all]

In his first term, his worst impulses were tempered by Republicans within and outside his administration who had a sense of duty to the rule of law and to the country.

During his second term, he has surrounded himself with sycophants, ideologues, and morally corrupt grifters who have facilitated his crimes and committed crimes of their own.

They know if they lose the midterms, these crimes will be exposed by the House Oversight Committee. Public opinion will shift further against them.

Loss of the 2028 election means prosecution, which will compel them to do whatever necessary now to keep the regime in power and protect their own skins.

I don’t believe my thinking is histrionic.
