Sean Hannity was trying to throw Donald Trump a life vest, and Trump was waving it off.
At a town hall in Davenport, Iowa, on the eve of what may be the final Republican primary debate of the campaign, the Fox News host asked the likely GOP nominee whether he had “any plans whatsoever, if reelected president, to abuse power? To break the law? To use the government to go after people?”
Trump parried. Hannity probed. He again asked Trump whether he was indeed “promising America tonight you would never abuse power as retribution against anybody?”
“Except for Day One,” Trump said.
Were Trump’s initial remarks a Trumpian jest? A threat? A promise?
Adult here: get the people you know to vote, and vote as well
Those you know who aren’t that motivated, motivate them
Elections are very important
Vote in every election you can and participate in the primaries leading up to them
We can only defeat this scourge by working together
The majority of people I know would vote for Trump. There’s no chance of me flipping that. Should I really encourage them?

“You guys have got this in the bag, you don’t need to vote in this one. Have you seen Biden’s approval rating, woof.”
That should work at least a little bit in discouraging the trumpets you know
