What was the biggest mistake of the Democrats?: Boyle suggests that Democrats' biggest mistake was not nominating a younger candidate like Gavin Newsom sooner, allowing Biden to run and lose.
How will his second term change the United States?: Boyle believes Trump's second term will result in the strangulation, mutilation, and burial of American democracy, mirroring Putin's Russia.
What will be Trump's first measure as 47th president?: Boyle predicts Trump's first act will be resolving the Gaza crisis and then sending the Marines to help Putin enslave Ukraine.
