    I am willing to accept that he mostly means “we’ll fix the country so it won’t be a close call ever again”. I also am willing to accept he subconsciously means “I just need to pardon myself and I can’t run again anyway, so I don’t give a crap what you do afterwards”.

    Thing is, both of those are disqualifying, too, so… no real good options here.

        For real. Everyone welcome every single news outlet to a thread, turns out it’s just one guy that can’t read.

        The problem is in order to talk to conservatives about this you need to get in their mind and consider how they’ll write off the statements.

          His cult followers don’t matter. They are long gone and don’t give a shit about democracy as long as they get their way.

          New voters, undecided voters and swing state voters who don’t like him, but didn’t care for Biden matter.

            Eh, those in your circle of influence might make it so it doesn’t matter to you, but I know folks who are on the fence especially after the felony charges.

            You do you, convincing the folks you mentioned, and let others do their job.

      If he didn’t try a coup after he lost the last election, you might be able to give him the benefit of the doubt.

      He’s already tried claiming that his first term didn’t count because of the impeachments and he should be allowed 2 more.

      There is no situation where he deserves the benefit of the doubt.
