This is the only way to get a populist President again, whether it's Trump or anyone else, by overwhelming the Democrat primary.
Sure they cheat in the primaries too, but it's small time and disorganized. With Sanders they did some procedural shenanigans and losing a thousand votes here and there. With Biden they made everybody else drop out and endorse him with backroom deals, they couldn't cheat Harris to even one delegate. Mail-in cheating relies on individuals to cheat, and it's less likely they'll risk it en masse against their own; they won't know which of their komrades is secretly an RFK supporter.
So you get a general with Trump vs RFK Jr or another populist, well one of them has to win. They've spent so much effort making it hard for 3rd parties that the deeps will just have to lump it and take the lesser populist as they fix the bug for next time.
