This is short sighted.
He was just charged with 34 FELONIES and this set of crimes is much less serious than what is coming later in Georgia and federally.
Also of course getting nominated in a bizarro maga fascist dominated party is a completely different thing than the general election where Trump would need to get center right suburban white woman, independents, etc.
He's a loser. He keeps losing for the republican party. He's their burden. Indeed their biggest loser.
