Jeff Greenfield:
Well it's two things.
The extent of his influence is so great that you have a sitting congressman, Louie Gohmert, who is, in effect, calling for violence to prevent the vote. You've got a lot of Trump supporters saying on social media, let's go to Washington, let's blockade the Capitol, let's make sure they can't vote.
And then, down the road, I think what you're going to see is all the Republican presidential wannabes: Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Josh Hawley, are kind of imprisoned. They they can't run against Trump as long as Trump is a potential 2024 nominee because they've, as they used to say, they plied their trump with Trump, they're all in on him. They're willing to abandon pretty much all the norms of a normal political process to show, 'I'm more pro Trump than anybody else.' And now they're trapped into standing with him unless or until he decides, maybe I will won't run again.
I'll go back to what I said at the beginning. I've been watching politics a pretty long time, and I've never seen anything remotely like this, and it is, it is not an encouraging notion to Biden's belief that, well, once I'm elected in an office, we'll have a new era of cooperation. The signs of that are to be, to put it mildly, minimal.
