Their only chance at power is in changing the rules. They have no productive ideas to sell, so there is nothing tangible they can run and win on.

Don’t forget voter fraud. It’s the only way they stay in power.

Explain, again, why all these treasonous slime shouldn't be dragged out and shot.

The humane, patriotic reasons aren't covering all the bases. They are beginning to look a bit flimsy. It can't just be that no one wants to get splashed with reptilian blood...

I wonder what will happen if because of the economy Pres. Trump would win the popular vote how the Democrats would react.

..... That is actually one of my worries about the next election ..... I believe the Democrats know this and will do whatever it takes to destroy the economy before the next election.

The left wants to change the rules the way my son did, at 6 years old, when he was inventing a game with his little friends to make sure he was always winning.

It keeps going back to a matter of maturity.

Well, rule changes and unlimited immigration.

Trump could be left off some states’ ballots if these bills become law....

I think it would be appropriate to up the number to thirteen.

First, split the Ninth Circuit. It covers 20% of the US populace by itself, and is overly large geographically. Amongst many other issues it has... Gives us 12 Circuit Courts.

Next, Add four judges, giving us 12, one to be the ‘overseer’ of each circuit, randomly chosen. This judge has to sign off on any district-wide injunctions generated by the circuit Court, and has other boss powers over it.

Chief Justice has DC and federal district courts.

This gives us more decentralization of the Supremes, a bit more oversight of the circuits, and expands the Court’s ability to see cases. And if the Dems/RINOs don’t like Trump appointing four judges, I suppose a fair compromise would be giving him two appointments now, and whoever wins 2020 gets the other two. (Not including regular judge turnover.)

They always change the rules when they can’t win legally. They’ve been doing it for many years, and allowed to get away with it.

“Democrats want to change the rules because they aren’t winning anymore”

IIRC the Democrats were out to change the Constitution, the rules when they were winning, so they really haven’t changed at all.

No, it doesn't.

The Democrats will never "grow up" and learn to play nice with others. This is a doomed expectation.

It keeps going back to their will-to-power. They keep trying to change the "rules" so they can stay in power forever. What they have is theirs, what you have is negotiable.
