Except I don’t think it will fail given I think they see they’re doomed without it, given they have said out loud they’ll lose if they don’t get it done for certain. Mike Lee said the quiet part out loud, I expect them to nuke the filibuster to do it before November at this rate on the SAVE Act.

Trump’s also at his likely lowest today (41.2), but it’s March, so who knows what’s coming and so far at Dems highest of cycle poll the lead is still under 6 points which is worse than even 2020’s average let alone 2018’s even now at this high for the party off of hatred of him alone (but it’s increased alright, now range is 4-5.8).

Re the SC's skepticism on mail-in "grace periods", there are fair arguments on both sides of that issue. In my view, such periods should be very short, if at all. I don't know how many days, but not many. Elections do have to be decided, and sooner is better.

I agree with Ben’s analysis of the danger incoming, but I just don’t think, when a Republican literally outs their gameplan in public or says “Failure is not an option” that they’re going to drop the SAVE Act period now. I think it’s the opposite, in fact, they would not divulge that in public IF they weren’t on heightened alert they have to rig the game ASAP to change their fortunes in the next a little over half a year.

Trump is not the only one determined to get it done, period, anymore. Unfortunately for us, they have 7 months, because IF the election were today say absolutely goodbye to the House, goodbye to the majority of state/local legi seats, barely hanging on to the Senate, and barely to the Gubernatorial chamber for Republicans.

Trump and company are going to make this WAY closer than it is now by November, confident in that, they would’ve never let that leak if they weren’t that determined now to get it done above all else period. Trump has said push into Easter if you have to get it done, in fact, and end the filibuster…this is something he will not drop until it’s done, mmw.

Which is why they’ll do it at all costs, still over 7 months to go too…it’s not that close yet, unfortunately, I’ve been preparing for the worst case outcome for a reason all this time.
