I honestly think this IS what I think he meant.

Never get inside a conservative's mind if you come out with a loser defeatism attitude. He might try to claim that as his fall back cover story when a journalist presses him on it, but it's not what he meant at all. The most generous interpretation is "I don't care who wins after me because I just want to win to stay out of jail". The most likely interpretation is "Pay attention to me. Pay attention to me. Pay attention to me. " If he wins he will be saying shit like that every single day for 4 years like an abusive spouse just for the attention. But he absolutely will try to end democratic elections if he think he can get away with it.
