People need to remember that Trump's children and their spouses aren't simply relatives. That family is a crime syndicate. Look at how much money his kids & their spouses have made during his presidency.

I am also sorry to remind folks that if Trump is arm twisted into conceding, he will make a deal, in exchange for a transition of power, that insulates his family -- not bc he cares about his children but bc they are key players in his financial schemes.

I also think his problems with his creditors could potentially be mopped up in exchange for a transition of power. Not in an immediate, obvious, bribe-like way, but through fully locked down assurances that certain financial events will unfold that would make it all okay.

Even if he loses by a landslide, he has the power to create legal and social chaos, and also more economic chaos, over the next few months. Him resisting a transition would create dynamics the Dems will pay big to avoid. This is not a new process btw. It's tradition.

Presidents don't pay for their crimes.

This may sound depressing to some folks, but if people continue to hang their hopes on something that's not going to happen, the ultimate outcome will be as demoralizing as the whole Mueller report situation was for some people. Another round of that won't do people any good.
