[Mr. Jeeves]

I think your post is right on. Trump has missed several chances to launch a MAGA Party (even informally, as a new faction) to pull in blue collar Democrats along with traditional conservatives. Now he will have to fight too hard to take the GOP's nomination and then immediately follow up with an even larger battle for the Presidency against both parties who will use the election fraud machines of the Five Lost Cities (Phoenix, Milwaukee, Detroit, Philadelphia, Atlanta) against him.

The only saving grace will be if Trump uses his candidacy - even in defeat - to shine an unbreakable spotlight on the two-party cabal and its machinations. He can do this better than any other candidate, but it will require him to correctly identify the enemy and go after them. I fear Trump has too much to lose (his companies) to make that many waves.

Look, I’m 3 years younger than Trump and I must confess, big new, transformative ideas are a bit of a struggle in the fourth quarter of life. Not sure he’s afraid of loss - in fact, I doubt it - but the founders were mostly young and could be activated by a vision of the future - which is closed to guys at 75+.
