One Thing I Disagree With Cohen On Is Him Saying Trump Didn't Expect To Win.....

yet everything we know about the Trump campaign - from the time he came down the escalator at Trump Tower in NYC till the time it was announced he won the presidency - everything his campaign did was done to 'win the election'.

That includes all the dealings with the Russians and what they did to help him win.

Why do they continue to say they didn't think they would win?

And why did Trump actively set in motion the wheels of a 2020 re-election campaign?

then why did he try so hard? Perhaps his need to win took over...whatever it will now destroy him.

If accurate it means team tRump were truly just pawns and Russia orchestrated the entire thing, including election fraud.
