How does Trump win the election?

@walabby oh, you’re so informed

@ididntknow 🙄

@walabby He won't. He's making way too much money right now fleecing his followers. Once he formally declares his candidacy, he's subject to campaign finance law. Now, he can just pocket everything with no one looking over his shoulder.

If I was a Republican, I'd be worried. As long as Trump running is a possibility, no one else can openly campaign (although DeSantis is running a stealth campaign, and Cruz is always campaigning). So the longer Trump waits, the less time there is for anyone else to put an organization together, fund raise, etc.

@Lila15 He’d make a great speaker of the house

@ididntknow No, he wouldn't, because that job entails actual work and following protocols, and Trump is terrible at that. He'd just use it as a platform to go after people he didn't like. He'd be completely ineffective. Trust me, the GOP leadership doesn't want him to be Speaker. If the Republicans win a House majority, they will elect McCarthy or someone else who is already there and knows how things work.

Trump is going to just keep raising money until the last minute. If he's not under indictment, he will anoint a successor. I'm not sure who that will be. It has to be someone who supports him 100% but also has a shot at winning because Trump hates it when he endorses a loser.
