"Will delivering the Death Star plans to the Rebellion help the Empire tighten its grip on local star systems? So far it seems to be paying off."

He won by a total of just over 75,000 votes. Since them he's alienated independent voters, created massive tensions in families, spurred an attempted insurrection, stole government secrets, and even turned large swaths of his own party against him...the only way he wins is by causing a civil war.

If he tries, he severely underestimates the actual resiliency of the American system. I know that it seems so risky, but I hope he wins the Republican nomination so that he gets absolutely crushed.

If it does , then there is a much deeper issue than just Trump. Fairly sure most Americans feel that to be true.

This is going to be the second coming of the OJ trial: it'll be inescapable. This creates two problems for Trump. First, general election voters aren't gonna be happy that he kept nuclear secrets in a bathroom with a chandelier. Second, nobody likes a loser, especially not /pol/lacks. This is also the problem for Ron "Tiny D" DeSantis.

This whole situation reminds me of 2008. You know, the year we had to choose between Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush.
