Citing a Wall Street Journal piece by Holman Jenkins, he traces it back to Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's highly publicized case against Trump — a move that, instead of ending Trump's political career, reignited the MAGA base and secured him the GOP nomination. Markowski reflects on how Democrats' legal strategy backfired, why Biden's campaign couldn't beat anyone else, and how political miscalculations can reshape history.
