Trump and his lawyers take on the Syndicate – The Spectator World

Unlike in previous elections, however, Republicans are turning out in force for early voting. As I write, the tally in Nevada, Georgia, North Carolina and elsewhere is very positive for the GOP. The data is unbelievable, said Republican operative Sean Spicer, It s almost too good to be true.  Political commentator Mark Halperin seconded Spicer s observation, noting that, If this continues, Donald Trump can t lose, because the Democrats can t possibly do well enough on Election Day.

Well, that is why God or perhaps it was his infernal counterpart made lawyers: to make the weaker argument seem stronger, the stronger weaker and to transform a victory that seemed too big to rig into just another triumph for  the deep state. 

We really don t know exactly how Trump s victory will play out. I suspect that, to quote Halperin again, that it will mark both the psychological collapse of the Democratic Party and spark the  greatest mental-health crisis in the history of the country.  Remember the puppies, the playpens, the counseling sessions when Trump won in 2016? Remember the violent mobs, the females screaming at the sky, the efforts to convince electors not to vote for their chosen candidate? Multiply all that by a factor of ten.

I don’t know if Roger Kimball is right or not. He certainly has a point though. We will at least know soon whether Trump does in fact win and if it is followed by the sort of psychological collapse of the Democratic Party he suggests.
