13. Trump purporting to "cancel" elections would lead to an even greater Democratic landslide than we are already

headed toward.

If Trump announces the elections are “cancelled” Democratic governors simply won’t care.

It could in fact have the impact of severely driving down Republican turnout, since they believe the election is “cancelled”

Maybe some red states actually follow through and somehow cancel their elections, leading them to send no House members to the new Congress, which would now have insanely large Democratic majorities.

Ironically, “cancelling” the elections might be the only plausible way Democrats could assemble the sort of majorities that could impeach and remove him.
