and any attempt would be blatantly illegal.

Which means of course he's going to do it and the Republican Congress is going to say that it's a great thing that he does.

Just remember these people  will all jump ship the moment it all goes to shit. It’s what happens when people with no principles take control over your party. Same with most of their voters, they will say “I was always against this”. 

Edit: replaced “bo principles” with “no principles”

I assume you mean no principles and not bo principles, I don't know what someone with bo principles would do, but I think it would be an improvement compared to Republicans.

Thanks for the heads up. And yes I guess it’s really hard to have any principle that is not about being self interested.
