The crucial combination of necessary factors that led to that single win are completely gone and they won't be coming back. ... That election was a unique moment in time ... 2016 was never about any 4d chess.
Of course 2016 was about "4d chess" meaning that Trump time after time got the media to take contrary positions that benefitted him - this is where the term came from. You're still arguing the Forest Gump theory that he just stumbled into office; it was just a lucky situation not skill.
If you are trying to make a case for the potential success of Trump 2024 using the success of Trump 2016 then you are doing the political equivalent of trying to compare apples to oranges.
The point I am making is that you are divorcing yourself from reality because you have views that are contrary to it. Saying he saved millions forces the left to give him credit or trash the vaccine - that's the reality, regardless of whether he's posturing or actually believes it. You can't handle that for some reason so you say it's imagined 4d chess, and 4d chess is stupid, so therefore Trump is stupid and can't win - that's basically your position here right?
Your argument for Trump being a sure loss is the same as your explanation for a 2024 win. If he wins it'll just be a confluence of lucky events, and he'll lose because there's not a confluence this time. Just rationalization, no real argument at all.
