And I'm not enough of a political scholar to know what CAN be done, but I think there is...at MINIMUM...a 50-50 chance that Trump will CAUSE a "national emergency" and use that as justification to cancel the midterms.

There was a time in the not-so-distant past where a statement like that would justifiably be considered tinfoil hat nonsense.

Now, it requires contingency plans on our part.
