He didn’t simply say he has absolute power. Now his name will be printed on every bailout check, and there are tens of millions of Americans who are literally going to think he personally sent it to them. Don’t kid yourself; they’ll want to vote for him in order to say thank you.

It’s beyond “At this rate he’s going to become a dictator.” He’s in the process of becoming one now. Maher says he’s afraid he won’t leave the WH but it’s beyond that already. He doesn’t plan for there to be an election. He’ll say he’s using his emergency powers to “postpone” it.

The scariest part of course is how many Americans would think that’s a good idea. He will at least float this idea at some point. Our greatest hope at the moment lies with Republican senators who know this is true & will find the courage to act. I think there are a few who might.

Marianne, might it be helpful for us right now to proactively reach out to some of those senators, not in an aggressive, holding their feet to the fire way, but in a manner that appeals to their higher sensibilities?

A poll last night already claims 4/10 Americans think the election should be ‘postponed.’ GOP senators? Like Obama said yesterday, they’re not interested in progress, only power. Our R-ID senators fall at the feet of their dear leader.

Can you say who you think might act? I thought republican senators have no backbone?

There is but one ball among them and Romney has it. Just one!

This tweet is unnecessarily fatalistic and defeatist. Geez.

I hope you're right, but, never trust a Republican to do the right thing.

I hate to say this, but I think the only way Trump will leave office is when he dies. Don Jr is almost certainly being groomed to replace his father. He is the best thing to happen to the GOP in a long time, and they won't willingly let power be wrested from Trump
