28. Indicting him is probably his only hope to save himself right now
Tue Dec 20, 2022, 03:20 PM
Dec 2022

And it's a slim hope. If the Republicans weren't washing their hands of Trump as a loser, indicting him would have been the only thing that could save him. His only hope would be to create a clash of his candidacy with his indictment, burn everything down to save himself.

With his candidacy shaky (but not gone), it's harder for him to burn everything down. He's getting boring. A lot of Republicans want him swept under the rug and walked over. The left is starting to free itself from the silly, pseudo-religious "lefter than thou," so it's harder to exploit a caricature gap. Trump's goose is cooked unless he thinks of something new. But I never count him out.
