    We’re only 3 months in. He’s not a lame duck 2nd term guy, he’s operating like he never needs another vote again.

      Didn’t he say something along the lines of ‘if you vote for me you don’t have to vote ever again’?

          See the never-ending North Carolina Supreme Court election from November for one method. It’s still not over and they’re probably going to toss military votes (and more, up to 60,000+) from democrat-leaning counties only. Fewer than 1,000 people decided the election and they’re just going to undo enough to make that pesky loss go away.

        No, because the rhetoric has changed dramatically after winning the election. Now that he no longer needs votes. He made his “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters” comment on January 23, 2016. That was back when he… needed… votes. What you’re saying is old news. He cannot legally run again. He no longer need votes. As a simple statement of fact.
