It was a great article except for the one thing that other articles like this also do...They keep talking about how Trump was betrayed by the Swamp appointments he made as president and how in his next term he must not work with RINOs.

These articles all ignore the elephant in the room.

There is not going to be any next term for Trump as long as cheat-by-mail-in ballots with no signature verification are in widespread use. Look what happened to Kari Lake. They took over a week to slow-walk the count and all of those mail-ins were just clicked through without any verification. Plus the way the machines were sabotaged. She documents all of this on her Twitter. It was brazen and in-your-face, and the national media refuses to report any of it except when Kari loses her lower court cases to a Democrat hack of a judge. The RINOs are just fine and dandy with cheating when MAGA loses, even though a Democrat 'wins.'

If these cheat-by-mail-ins are still in operation in 2024 (and the state legislatures have done nothing to get rid them) then we are going to see a repeat of what happened to Trump in 2020. The counting will be simultaneously stopped on Election Night, and after nearly a week, the mail-ins will give it to the Democrat.

The irony in all this was that Trump was probably very comfortable with "The Swamp" when he launched his presidential bid in 2015. If you go back to the start of his campaign and through the Republican primary season in the early months of 2016, I don't think you'll hear any references in his campaign speeches to the Swamp. It was all about "Make America Great Again."

Something changed around August-September of 2016 when his campaign was showing signs of distress. I suspect it was tied to internal polling or focus groups conducted by Kellyanne Conway and her staff. The term "Drain the Swamp" began to really resonate with voters, and Trump's campaign speeches and ads from that point on were built around this theme.

This might have been the most effective, hard-hitting campaign advertisement from 2016. If my memory is accurate, it was released sometime in late September that year:
