Short thread.
There are, I think, three ways Trump could win.
In order of likelihood:
1. Trump uses the powers of the the executive branch in unprecedented ways (Nixon or Ukraine on steroids), combined with his demagoguery and GOP voter suppression, to win an unfair election.

In order of likelihood:

2. In a somewhat close election, with some uncertainty on Election Night, Trump over the next weeks uses the powers of the executive branch, combined with demagoguery, Fox and Facebook, and compliant GOP governors, state legislators and members of Congress, to steal the election.
3. Trump actually persuades a plurality of voters in states adding up to 270 electoral college votes to vote for him.
