You are right. If the opposition had any sense, any love of country under any color, the would want to  most creditable election possible, but cause if the win my hook and crook, and it is due to an aberrant voting scheme, they will not get to take office except after they win also the hot war.  Maybe that's their end goal, a hot war, to weaken out country by way of internal strife, and then have China attack us.  But surely they are smart enough to know that the realm that protects us from other countries will still be focused on their job. The hot war will be mostly fought in the streets between those that still love our country, and those that don't, and their is a heap more of us than them. And we already know what happens when you put up  people fighting for their way of life, against paid mercenaries.
