Trump’s antics won’t have the effect that he desires. The biggest roadblock for Joe is Mitch McConnell, that is whe we desperately need to win the Georgia runoffs, if not, Mitch will try to block everything that is right and decent.

I don't see him winning the lawsuit(s) that's coming his way over this firing. I suspect Trump is going to make Chris Krebs a very famous, very wealthy man.
