We are inching into extremely dangerous territory. mediamatters.org/fox-news/despi…
We're going to get a "many people are saying I should consider this" comment from Trump within 48 hours.
Escalation upon escalation.
The RNC's national spokesperson retweeted that insane Levin tweet urging party state legislators to pick the Trump elector slate regardless of election results. Party is rotten to the core.
