If that happens he knows all the truth will come out. He would, at that point try to get Pence to take over and pardon him in the days after the election and before the Democratic President takes office. Not sure Pence would do it because it would smear him thru eternity but make him a hero of the Christofacist.
It would destroy the republican brand perhaps forever, but trump does not give a shit about them.
Either way the republicans are cooked. Even if trump wins a second term. Especially then. I don't share the pessimism that many here have that democracy is on it last legs. A majority of Gen X, and huge numbers of the next 2 generations live in a world at total opposites of trump voters.
I try to take a long view. Over the long term we progress with periods of regression in between. We are in one of those periods now.
