Same goes for the criminals and insurrectionists he pardoned, according to the law, they're still guilty

Now there's a thought, but you're right, he'll treat it as if he "won" it, and eventually he'll believe it

But he'll treat it as his, as if it had been awarded to him. And this embarrassing act of fealty by Machado won't do her a damn bit of good. Too bad the rules of the NPP don't allow the committee to revoke it.
