To recapitulate something I said on @MorningJoe

Before predicting continued Trump dominance of GOP, consider

- How will GOP electeds feel after Trump launches his revenge tour ?

- After he insists that 2022 be a referendum not on Biden but on the greatness of Trump?

1/x
- After more months of Trump redirecting individual donations from GOP purposes to his own pockets?

- After Trumpist primary challenges cost GOP winnable seats?

- If Trump cult of personality Senate races fail in NC and Florida?

2/x
- After prosecutors & Congress get hold of Trump's tax and business records ?

- After the legal proceedings that then ensue?

3/x
- Trumpists want to draw parallel to Grover Cleveland, defeated in 1888, who returned in 1892. But Cleveland had won the popular vote in 1888! Trump is more like a Wm Jennings Bryan, a candidate strong in his party but weak in the country, who lost again & again.

4/x
- The Fox News anti-reality chamber can seal its audience from quite a lot of unwelcome information. But not all unwelcome information, and not-forever.
