13. Who will be, in your opinion, and why?

I said right after he won in 2016 that he would lose the next election in 2020 and then run again and win the nomination in 2024 (and lose that too).

I stand by that 'closing in on 7 years old' prediction.

He owns the cult, and the cult is enough to win the Rethug nomination, even if he is somehow convicted in one of the 4 criminal cases before the election. He will appeal and appeal in that event, pushing it back to after the election, and will desperately wind up the cult into an outright state of wild blood panic/hate frenzy, urging them to threaten, cajole, drag all their social set and families to polls in order to save him. The ultimate 'Us v Them' bullshit.

71 per cent of all Rethugs trust Trump more than they trust their own families and friends (per MSNBC all day so far).

That is utter craven madness.

I predict a horrid shitshow, a crazed period of Sturm und Drang.
