And turn the tables on the Democrats during the election cycle. He'll claim that mean Democrats for purely partisan reasons have attempted to bring him down, first via Robert Mueller, then via the Ukrainian impeachment proceeding.

This has been a no-win situation from the get-go, but only because the R's are watching one set of news items and the Dems are watching another. Nevermind that ours are real and his are fantasy, that's the world we live in right now and fake vs. real is the real battle being waged here.

MM, I fear for our nation, I won't lie.
