He is a leader there's no question about that. But I think he's a bad leader. I think he's leaving his people into, he's leading the country, especially into a very bad place.
I think, basically, this is about power. I think he wants to cripple Joe Biden before he ever gets started.
If he comes out and throws cold water on this, then I don't think it goes anywhere.
He is going to hand Joe Biden a country more divided than it needs to be by trying to de-legitimate an election that was clearly won by Joe Biden.
