I’ll just link to this post from a previous thread and let others judge for themselves: How can Donald Trump win at this point? - #1314 by ShadowFacts
Moving this conversation closer to the topic of the thread, I think Democratic candidates and party leaders should definitely NOT be assuming that Trump will be a spent force in 2028, even if he himself is in ill heath. And if he is dead by then, it will just be be Vance/Trump Jr. attempting to carry the banner of Trumpism. They (Trump/MAGA) have created the all-time winner of grifts worth BILLIONS, and you can try to pry it from their cold, dead hands. Thinking that Trump is damaged and therefore less dangerous is … let’s say, not a good strategy.
