Good luck penetrating his narcissistic "I can do whatever I want" bubble:
The president was invited to GOP senators’ Wednesday lunch to push for his No. 1 priority, the GOP election bill known as the SAVE America Act. But several outgoing Republicans who have clashed with Trump said Monday they will be there to deliver a reality check: The bill isn’t passing, and it’s time to move on.
“I’m going to be there front and center,” Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) told reporters. “It will be important if it actually is a constructive exchange of different opinions, and hopefully we can all get on the same page. Right now, we’re not in a great place.”
Cornyn, who recently lost his bid for a fifth term to a Trump-endorsed challenger, reiterated the votes just aren’t there to pass the elections bill: “I’ve been around here long enough and been through enough battles and counted enough votes to know that it doesn’t just magically occur, no matter how much you wish it would happen.”
Sens. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and Bill Cassidy (R-La.) — who are also departing the Senate in part due to Trump — said Monday they, too, will be at the closed-door lunch and urged Trump to turn the page on the SAVE America Act.
“I’m a co-sponsor, but it doesn’t have the votes, and so it’s time to talk about something else,” said Cassidy, who also lost to a Trump-backed primary opponent...
Too bad it took the Malignant Fascist backstabbing incumbent Republican Senators and generally running roughshod over Congress to get to the point where these spineless Quislings are exerting even this modicum of resistance to the MF's anti-American, anti-democracy efforts. Stopping the abomination called the "SAVE America (for white Republicans) Act" won't put an end to the MF and his fascistic toadies' ongoing efforts to rig the 2026 mid-terms and the 2028 election, a battle that's currently being waged mostly in the courts over voter rolls. But it would be a considerable blow to their plans.
