13. With all the indictments - and subsequent trials - he's facing, how would he manage to "campaign?"

I think that's what the majority who are hoping for early trials are referring to. We can hope that he's out of circulation and we already know that numerous other Republican candidates have finally sprung up. And, according to what's been speculated, TFG, despite all his legal issues, not to mention his authoritarian and anti-democratic plans for this country, still leads declared Republican candidates.

And it's beyond my comprehension that any citizen, Republican or not, would approve of the dictatorship that TFG apparently envisions. But you may be right, that they hope for pardons, and we know that TFG has often declared that he'd "pardon himself."

However, as Jack Smith's investigation gets closer, we have seen many more Republicans cooperate. We know that he has spent considerable time with Meadows and Pence and that Rudy is trying for a deal in exchange for immunity. And the closer that Smith gets, there may be others who figure that TFG is going down and that cooperation with Jack Smith is their only chance.
