Exactly. Grift for another election cycle while you further beta-test defrauding the elections, count on dem’s to not be able to close whatever loopholes you find, swoop in with a winning election theft strategy with Ivanka in tow as cover for Trump Sr’s advanced age and hail her as a true (conservative!) woman that can handle the presidency (unlike the bad brown skank monster), then close the elections permanently with Trump Jr becoming VP when Sr finally passes. Mass Civil unrest occurs and Ivanka steps down to return leadership to a strong man that can truly lead with an iron fist through the ensuing Civil War in true fascist fashion.

Of course, they would never get away with all of that (because average Americans ARE good people, and there are plenty of good people fighting this possible future), but IMHO this is probably close to their best wet dreams.

We know he needs the immunity, but I’m not sure he knows that. He’s dodged so many felonies at this point, he likely thinks he’s untouchable even if he loses. This is just speculation though, of course, based on my experience with my own maga family member’s tendencies to hand-wave away logic that makes them uncomfortable, especially when the topic is something that seriously affects them. You make some good points though. I think you’re right, but as I said, this is my loose crackpot theory xD

My crackpot theory is that he doesn’t actually want to win. I think he’s making so much money campaigning that he realized he could milk a couple more election cycles until the dummies get tired of him.
