Nah. McConnell, Thune and others have all bought into his alternative facts about voter fraud. Trump pretty much beat them down until they toed his line. This will continue until the others are beat down too. Never mind that there was no proof of 3-5 million people committing voter fraud. Trump will just repeat it until it is believed as fact. And can you really say they have the best interests of the country on their mind? The first thing they tried to do was kill the ethics watchdog group. That doesn't seem in our best interests.

Estimation say that there are 11.4 million Illegals in the US currently. If only 1/3 voted it would be nearly 4 million votes - Trump's estimation of 3-5 million illegal votes is plausible and reasonable, definitely nothing to ignore.

More proof would be great - so let's have federal voter ID so we can settle this question once and for all.

Federal voter ID will never happen. Because then the GOP will have problems with their voter suppression agenda that they have been running for decades. It increases the odds that they won't be in power so they won't go for that. Instead they will destroy things like the arts, humanties, education and nearly anything that makes the populace more difficult to control.
