The title of President Donald Trump’s Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act could have been shortened to the "SAVE Me" Act.

Its goal, as clear from this week's marathon debate, is to save Trump from facing a Democratic majority in the House of Representatives.

Losing his grip on either chamber of Congress would cost Trump severely. His predecessors managed to survive the partisan rebalancing after a midterm backlash. But the 45th/47th president shows no will or ability to negotiate compromises, or even work within the constitutional limits of his elected role. This makes him vulnerable to impeachment once again.

Since last year, Trump has gotten state GOP leaders to do an ad hoc gerrymander of congressional districts in Texas, Missouri and North Carolina. Blue states responded in kind with gerrymanders of their own.

But the success of this manipulation is not guaranteed, Now Trump pushes a more ambitious project.........
