Trump is already setting the stage for a comeback. The Times:
*Ronna McDaniel, Mr. Trump’s handpicked chairwoman, has secured the president’s support for her re-election to another term.
*[He recently formed] a political action committee.
*[He's fighting for control of the RNC-Trump] voter data and donors lists [which] contain thousands of names of contributors and detailed information about supporters.
*Trump will try to bend the national party to his will by exacting retribution on those lawmakers who have not pledged total fealty to him.
None of this involves what is also sure to follow: repeated claims of election theft and President Biden's illegitimacy; racist snark directed at Vice President Harris; more "illegal alien" scares; loud denials of his past criminal activity and civil violations in attempts to poison jury pools; collaboration with Putin and God knows whom else; 100,000 more tweets of vile and national division [to which Twitter will do nothing more that attach an insignificant disclaimer]; incitements to violence; the rapid suppression of any moderate Republican presidential wannabe's hope of domesticating the GOP's horned cattle; and the further propagation of astounding ignorance and circus routines, continuing America's four-year acquisition of laughingstock status.
As I've written previously, we're looking at a long, long civil war.
