If you were worried before that Trump would try to steal the election, you can keep on worrying about it if you want to.

I am not worried that he will succeed.

What I am worried about is that such attempts will be normalized, and may succeed with better execution and tighter margins.  What I'm also worried about is that lack of universal outrage about such things indicate that we're a country on the brink of something awful.

Sure, if you were worried before that a large chunk of Republican voters are certifiably insane, and they will continue to vote in our lifetimes, yeah, you can go on worrying about that.  I have and I do.  But that is not new information revealed by this tape.

I agree with Guller.  This sort of behavior is unacceptable in politics.  If Biden made a similar call to the Sec of State of say, Florida, then I would demand his immediate impeachment.  If this becomes acceptable I have no idea what would happen.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Nobody is worried that Trump will try to steal the election, because it already happened.  I don't think he will succeed either, but I am worried that he won't be punished for it.

It's almost like I just said that.  :)

Indeed.

I hope someone switched the damned football a long time ago.

He's completely delusional.

He won't be.

He and his family will be walking free creating havok and chaos for years.

Mussolini's family is still involved in politics isn't it? Why not Trumps.

This is just printing money for them.

Trump seems deeply unpatriotic, he thinks it can be run like a banana republic.

No.  Trump isn't going to be alive much longer, and his family is not only extremely stupid, but also as charismatic as a sack of dog shit.  They may swim in the shark-infested waters for a couple of months, but they'll get eaten long before 2024's elections.

He's just delusional.  It will be interesting to see if his subordinates "pass the test" when he issues his own Nero Decree.
