MODERATORS
If Trump loses, again, I'm betting he gets the hot potato treatment. It'll be like Nixon all over again. Today's supporters will dial it way down.
"Well, yeah, I kinda liked the guy, but I was never crazy about him."
That's pretty optomistic. At every single turn, the guy does or says something that would have completely tanked anyone else's entire political career, and it's still a nailbiter for the presidency. And this has been going on for a decade.
Trump isn't Nixon, and the electorate isn't the same as the early 1970s. This is a whole new ballgame.
Agreed on ALL that! But Trump can't lose again. He'll have no chance at the office again and his legal and mental problems will continue to spiral down the drain.
It's not the immorality that will turn people off, it's the losing. American's don't like failures and conservatives hardly root for the underdogs.
