Reminds me of when shit-poor students beg me at the last minute for an extension on a term project due date. I know perfectly well that they're never going to turn in that assignment whether I grant the extension or not, and deep down they probably do too, but they still ask. I mean, does he really think that holding an election in December will yield different results, especially given that suspending the election would itself be a deeply unpopular move? Even if he suspends it altogether, all this will do is worsen his odds. One way or another, he has to be out of the Oval Office by January unless he's been legally re-elected by then, that much is made very clear in the law. And if the voters haven't done their job by then, it falls to the House to decide. Somehow I don't think Pelosi is feeling sympathetic to him as a candidate just now.
