"It’s actually not true that he hasn’t faced accountability," explained Pfeiffer. "Every time he has been on the ballot since 2016, literally and figuratively, he has lost."
In fact, Pfeiffer says that falsely portraying Trump as an electoral juggernaut can be psychologically damaging to Democrats' chances of defeating him yet again.
"When we pretend like he can survive anything, it imbues him with strength and gives him political advantage with a lot of people,” he said. “But the reality is, how bad a criminal do you have to be to be one of the most politically connected and richest guys around, and still be convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records? The truth is he’s kind of a clown.”Trump won in 2016 because (short version) Hillary Clinton was such a spectacularly bad candidate. It’s happened before: perfectly capable candidates with the political skills of a rutabaga. And ever since then, he’s done nothing but lose.
