      My inclination is say Biden's decision to stay aloof from Trump's clownish coup is the right one: let Trump peter out and go on with the business of staffing. But we're in uncharted waters, so who can be certain one way or the other?https://twitter.com/RonBrownstein/status/1338299800161140738 …

      Biden has the biggest megaphone by far & he's chosen to shrug off Trump's efforts to subvert the result & all the Rs who have joined in that. He's sought to portray inevitability, but there's a price in that the public likely isn't absorbing the full magnitude of what's happening https://twitter.com/medit8now/status/1338296301361000448 …

      Biden's goal, clearly, is to move USA to post-Trump political environment, which will be easier to govern. The open question is whether, once he's out of power, Trump will dwindle into being just another right-wing blowhard or whether he'll remain de fact head of GOP.

          I can see that point (Biden won and is portraying confidence), but I do think more Democrats need to show more urgency. Largely, it's been the left (like Bernie Sanders), while most centrists have been quiet

          Does Trump go to jail? That will decide it for the most part.

          Trump can run for president from jail. Easier in some ways.

          Or a third option: Trump will distract the GOP

          He can only dwindle. Without presidential protections Trump is more liability than source of power.

          He'll keep the GOP 2024 field frozen for the next four years, and will wield his base like a cudgel against disloyal members in 2022. I don't see how he won't remain tremendously influential throughout Biden's term.

          Normally, I would say blowhard because many GOP went along. Although, he garnered a cult like following that I would imagine many might tap try to tap into

          think Biden should stay aloof but Biden camp should be in full throttle multi-media attack mode.
