Lincoln's actions against the secessionist states violated, at a minimum, the spirit of the Constitution. However, it was necessary to preserve the country. Wrong for the right reason....
If Trump acted the same way, and I think for the same intent, I think history will validate the action. However, I think 40% of the REPUBLICANS, AND RIGHT WING, will not support him in doing so...which means it would fail.
What would he do? Demand an election, in person, with ID. Too many on the Right will oppose it because of how it was done and he'd lose....and have to leave in disgrace, or in chains...
@turnerjolene48 No. But anything that overthrows the government, or fractures the States, will destroy the country. And I think there is at least a few on the Left that believe holding the country hostage to that possibility, prevents their demise...
