MBD, I don’t know, I’d say more than half a dozen. I don’t think keeping people out will be possible. As one of our colleagues said in a meeting the other day, if someone has a 1 percent chance of winning the nomination, that’s a lot higher than most everyone else living in America, so he or she is going to run. It’s getting people out in time that will be most important, and that’s tough, too, because by that point, people are vested in their campaign. But I think the experience of what happened in 2016 will have some force, even if there’s no entity or collection of people that can make anyone get out.
And you’re absolutely right that Trump, if defeated, won’t go quietly. The hope has to be that if he’s lost, (1) he’s quite diminished; and (2) his criticisms might help the GOP nominee with achieving more separation from him. There’s no doubt, though, that the best case would have been his not running in the first place.
