My Trump theory:
1. Trump is a David figure who has lurked amongst the Philistines of NYC these years, and has been angling toward the WH the whole time, having studied it like a real estate deal.
2. Comes the 2016 election, Trump was "recruited" at some level (golf bet?) to run.

3. The media "knew" that Trump was running as Romney-minus-Ward-Cleaver-veneer. Put him at the center of the stage for debates, covered the rallies like a circus.
4. Meanwhile Trump's data operation knows how to win, and he's doing more than "making a good show of it".

5. Hence the F.I.B. and the whole "insurance policy" thing. They figure Trump *is* the fix, so they don't need to leverage the rest of the machinery. Too much hubris.
6. So he wins, and we spend four years trying to cancel him.
7. So the 2020 election comes, and he knows what

...to expect, and so he brings a turnout that breaks the rigging machinery.
8. Now we have a test to see whether it is OK to cheat if the mechanism is outside the scope of the system to cope until after the fact.
9. Trump is going to found another media property, or go to Parler.

10. My prediction is that, if the election cannot be kicked to the HoR, the appeal goes to the SCOTUS and the evidence makes it impossible to ignore.
11. @ScottAdamsSays is floating the scenario where there is a weak Biden administration but Trump forms a shadow presidency.

12. "If they strike Trump down, he will become more powerful than they can possibly imagine."
13. If you're doing a video show, then wear a Zorro mask, which would be hawt.
14. Triskaidekaphobia.
