28. He'll probably declare after the mid-terms.

To get any other potential Repubs out of the way. DeSantis and Cruz have painted themselves as Trump's heir, him running could thwart that.

If he can win, that's a loaded question. He can't win the popular vote. But the electoral vote? That's a different story. A lot can happen between now and then.

For example, if we codify abortion and he runs on retracting that. That's not going to help him. But if we fail to codify it and he runs on leaving it to the states...that gets him out from the spot light.
