He can't leave

I'm going to leave the cart properly behind the horse for a week or so, but I think it's undeniable that no incumbent president ever has had as strong a motivation to stay in office as this president* does. If he loses, it is better-than-even odds that he ends up in the sneezer. He damn sure will find himself, as my pal Bill Livingston in Cleveland puts it, riding every ride in Depositionland. Letitia James, the attorney general of New York, already seems to have cleared a spot for his head on her office wall, and certain federal jurisdictions are fairly itching to get out from under the regime of William Barr and get back to the business of prosecuting crimes.

[...]

There are hungry prosecutors out there in the mist, and the laundromat is closed. No wonder the only wall he's finished is the one around the White House.

Maybe one of his autocrat buddies will give him asylum.
