(102,572 posts)21. I think he will go as far as possible to claim the frontrunner title, collect as much $$ as possible
for his own benefit, exact as much vengeance against those he believes did not support him in the meantime, thereby causing as much damage to his party and others as possible, but he will run out of time to actually run. By that, I mean either the civil and criminal investigations will come to a head, he will be financially too devastated to do anything but try to salvage his ill-gotten gains day in and day out, and/or what remains of the more sane half of the Republican party will force him to break off into a splinter party. Ultimately all that will cause him to eventually drop out, but too late for anyone thinking of claiming his hold on the party. Because he's going to soak up the attention as long as humanly possible.

OP
No consequences for any of the sh*t he did, 45% of repubs would join his party. Best grift ever.

He will need a 3.5 year campaign. I don't think that he is physically up for that.

He is a fervent follower of Norman Vincent Peale's positive thinking--a crazed optimist

It's time to stop the obsession with this ex-president. DU is guilty. CNN is guilty.

I say no. He will play like to bilk the stupids. But will pull out and play king maker for someone
