Former GOP speechwriter Tim Miller says Trump and the Republican Party have some major tampering planned to save them from their collapsing poll numbers in November, but none of it will do them any favors. Republicans are fighting to pass a controversial new bill, the SAVE America Act, which actually lays more onerous voting requirements upon voters and make it more difficult for many to vote. Miller did not have high expectations for the passage of the unpopular bill, but argued it still wouldn’t pull Republicans from their political morass.“I'm not even sure that if this succeeded, it would help them in the midterms that much politically. And it also seems very desperate to me, doing some uncharacteristic positive spin on this. But look, they tried to … ‘rebalance’ the election in their favor with the redistricting. I mean, that's what that's what's the whole point of it. Like they were trying to help themselves by changing the rules in the middle of the game for redistricting, and it backfired,” said Miller who used to work for George W. Bush.“That redistricting is probably going to cost them more seats than it helps them now, and it seems like they're kind of splashing around for other things to try,” said Miller. “[Trump advisor] Steve Bannon's like, ‘we're going to send ICE officials out to the voting booths. The administration had to backtrack from that, and I think even that might very well backfire because it motivates people to vote early and to mail in.”Even if Trump and Republicans did manage to pass the SAVE America Act, blue states would challenge it in court, further driving up the unpopularity of both the legislation and the party that created it.“You know, maybe it helps them in a couple of Senate races, but I think they're kind of getting pretty desperate looking for different tools for undermining the midterms,” Miller said. - YouTube youtu.be
