Name every Republican in the House and Senate who would certify a Democrat having won the presidency if Trump claims it was rigged in 2028. Would the Supreme Court step in to stop Republicans from stealing the election if they still controlled Congress? Which Republicans or conservative S.C. justices would stop Trump from running for a third term? They might if he is unpopular enough. But who do you trust still has the principles to uphold the rule of law against MAGA? I don't trust Vance to do what Pence did.
