The View: McCain doubts TFG** is eyeing another presidential run

In the wake of newz that TFG (the former guy) may be headed for indictment in the case against him and his organization, Megan McCain, thinks it’s unlikely to have much of an impact on his political future.

“I actually think he won’t end up running. I think he wants to see a lot of things that are happening in the world that he said would come true with Biden’s policies,” McCain said. “Everything that I’ve heard through different channels is that he’s actually pretty happy right now and feeling good about his legacy.”

Typical Republican doublespeak: no impact on his political future but he’s not likely to run.

Yeah right. I’m sure he’s “happy” as can be.

I don't believe he will run either. Why should he, he is still calling the shots in the Party....

If he pays his legal fees for a change they might be able to drag out all the proceedings until after the next election and if - too horrible to imagine - he won again he'd pull his "I'm the POTUS and you can't take me to court" schtick. In the meantime, either statutes of limitations expire or he croaks (best case scenario) and he evades it all again.
