    Yes, This is important to acknowledge. He also has an extremely complicit supreme court who are a bit over their handle bars and may suffer consequences if he isn’t elected. So yes.

    However… If its clear, and I do think it will be, that he hasn’t won, he flips from being an asset to being a liability. As they say, if you are aiming for the King, don’t miss. They won’t have the ability to throw down smokebombs (read: misinformation, lawsuits, etc) in the way that they did around 2020.

    What Trump offers is a path to power. If he can’t/ doesn’t win the election, his only offering is moot. And the bodies along the way are there to see (look at Pence, Giuliani, etc… Trump uses people and dumps them).

    Its something we need to be 100% paying attention to. But its a far far more difficult lift this time around than last.
