Well, this is an odd one. Remember, these nominations are for those folks whose allegiance to the former President has strayed into ludicrousness, much like former Rep Earl Landgrebe’s (R-IN) did for then-President Nixon (R). Here we are:
Trump is calling for subversion of the Constitution & either declaring him 2020 presidential winner or holding a “new election,” saying there should be “termination of all rules, regulations, & articles, even those found in the Constitution” to undo Biden’s right to presidency. pic.twitter.com/BIHfQsVpXv

Trump is calling for subversion of the Constitution & either declaring him 2020 presidential winner or holding a “new election,” saying there should be “termination of all rules, regulations, & articles, even those found in the Constitution” to undo Biden’s right to presidency [in a Truth Social post].
Yes, the nomination goes to the former President himself, for his doubling down on his outlandish fraudulent election claims. His is a childish mentality.
A possible subsidiary nomination may go to the entirety of the Republican Party, as Professor Richardson notes this in regard to Trump’s demented call:
But Republicans, so far, are silent on Trump’s profound attack on the Constitution, the basis of our democratic government.
That is the story, and it is earth shattering.
Whether it’s earth shattering depends on the size of the Republican Party. The latest Gallup Party Affiliation poll does suggest some reason for concern, as Republicans are now at 33% of the population as of October 3rd, after being at only 24% in August. I wonder about bad polling, or outliers.
Congrats to the former President for the nomination.
