Nah. It doesnā€™t work like that, really. Besides, nothingā€™s real until the middle of January.

2nd post in that thread

The thing is: I was open four years ago to this possibility. And Trump was a black swan (sort of). So. But no one ever explained how or why it was going to work, especially when Trump came into office with one setting: WINGNUT, BUT HARDER THIS TIME. Lots of doubling down on most of the things everyone claims to hate about politics (grifting, divisiveness, lobbyists, broken promises, general incompetence). The Republican base liked it. Everyone else barfed.

Not a recipe for a Trump-induced realignment.

Weā€™ve been in repeats since at least 2004. I remember.

If Trump loses he is going to start campaigning before Biden is even sworn in. Guaranteed.

Naaaa. No way he would risk losing twice.
He will do what he always wanted anyway, have his own TV show

ā€¦and 57 states. I actually saw that reference brought up around here this week. :rofl:

He loves the attention, he canā€™t get enough of it and I donā€™t think that TV gives him the same buzz as an adoring live audience does. He can literally fly all over the country for 4 years and soak it in. Plus, he can use his followers to primary any GOP member that doesnā€™t lick his boots.

it might be hard for him to run from prison

Sen Ron Johnson.

TV station. Some of America wants President Twitter 24/7.

nice dream you are having.

No. If he loses, Donald Trumpā€™s model will be Jimmy Carter: after a one-term presidency, Trump will spend the next 40 years or so in humble and dignified service to others.

The majority of Americans select ā€œnone of the aboveā€ by not voting, so no.

Okay. Just kidding. If he loses, I think heā€™s going to start a Trumpy nationalist media platform. Lots of ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  about how it will make him even more influential than the president, without all the boring parts. He can watch TV and tweet at all waking moments. Thatā€™s what he likes to do. Plus, it will be his own playground, so he can contrive to get the endorphin rushes he needs.

I donā€™t think it will last, though. Depending on how long he lives, heā€™s headed for Palinville.
