Save his presidency? I didn't like the news, but at the end of the day, I have a hard time imagining what it would be like for a better candidate to emerge in 2020, so he'd have make some inconceivably bad, Reagan Amnesty-grade mistakes to keep me from voting for him in 2020, if only just to see what he does when he's not up for reelection anymore. That's when the gloves come off, after all. And honestly, a SCOTUS ruling in favor of Federal Voter ID laws would probably be more effective than a wall, fence, whatever. Not that I wouldn't like to see a wall, but the Hart-Cellar Act needs to be repealed and it's effects reversed before it would make the difference we need it to. Half of the army of demographic replacement is already here "legally", and multiplying, after all. And that reality seems impossible, without America deteriorating to the point where multiple states secede, America balkanizes, and the demographically whiter ones rally and mass deport the hostile foreigners to states like CA. So, still just wishful thinking at this point.
But Federal Voter ID laws would devastate the Left and polarize the masses when they saw how much it affected the outcome of elections, how many illegals have really been voting. Then we'd get a real wall and some serious deportation measures for sure as the globalist subversion of the entire nation would be on full display for the world to see.
