And enough idiots will believe it so all they have to do is a little cheating at the polls.

And we all know how quickly a republican DOJ will jump in and do something about it.

He didn't appeal to mainstream Republicans. His appeal to the crowds was obvious. Santos won by convincing mainstream Republicans (in a D+4) district that he was mainstream, not MAGA.

was if we don't do something about him soon. If he serves his whole term without any legal repercussions (like Trump) that's where the problem materializes. That was my point.
