Definitely. Trump's own ego compels him to run for nomination but by running and winning he increases the chances of losing the election and going to prison with nobody to pardon him.
That said the Democrats need to be very concerned about a 3rd party called "No Labels" that masquerades as a left leaning party but is strongly suspected to be a spoiler party orchestrated by the right. Don't be surprised if Joe Manchin sleazes his way into the limelight by running as their candidate.
2016 taught me to not be too confident, but does anyone actually like Manchin?
Moderate to left types hate him and he has a D next to his name, so GOP voters see him as satanic. Am I missing something?
It would be a blessing if he did run since as you say Manchin is not a popular person inside the Democratic party or in general.
calling west "dumb" or "dumber" belies your own ignorance. he's an ivy league educated prodigy.
He wouldn't be the only spoiler candidate this year. We already have dumb and dumber running - RFK Jr and West.
Every last one of these pieces of shit has Republican (and thus Russian) connections.
