And If They Can't Win Elections Fairly

They'll rig them. From Tom Sullivan at Hullabaloo. Key quote:

If they cannot win democratically, Republicans "will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy," David Frum wrote in the Atlantic. But they will hold onto the trappings of democracy so long as they lend them a modicum of public legitimacy. Until like boasting about principles and morality, they no longer care about keeping up pretenses.

Republicans control more than half of state legislatures. How fair do you think those elections are going to be?
