AFAIK Trump has a pretty solid chance right now, but it would be so easy to buy him off, give him a chance to look like he's winning, etc.

He is NOT ambitious in the sense of Alexander, Napoleon, or Caesar.

What distinguishes him is that he causes a pavlovian reaction in the left, they lose their minds and start acting utterly irrational in his presence, and end up destroying a lot of their own institutional power.

The author of anarchonomicon calls this an "auto-immune disorder", they attack themselves.

If we have Trump v. Harris & RFK - shut out by the Democrats - makes an independent run, there's no amount of cheating which will give Harris the win.
