or be driven from office. He will simply declare his term to be the greatest in presidential history and that he accomplished more than any president ever has but that there is a massive conspiracy against him and so he will not run.
That's too bad because a victory against Trump would be more of a sure bet than having a more traditional mainstream Republican as the candidate, one who would pick up a lot of GOP votes that might not have gone to Trump again.
