Trump files to run in 2024

Of course our resident MAGAs are going to try to make that a Trump v. The Dems discussion.

It is premature for that.

The discussion is Trump v. ...

...the GOP that is sick of losing

...the right wing media that has already turned on him (Florida Man Makes Announcement is literally a headline in a rag that he needs on his side!).

... the right wing donors that have already made it clear their money is going elsewhere because they are done with him.

...DeSantis.

...Pence.

...anyone else who wants to grift through the primaries (Christie, Pompeo, Haley, etc.) and will take shots at him from every direction.

...indictments (and there could be as many as three; the documents, Georgia, January 6th).

...Liz Cheney doing everything she can to keep him out of office, including a possible third-party run.

...Trump (meaning, he can't stay out of his own way and will make many racist comments that will derail his hopes).

I could go on.

The Dems aren't involved in any of this. The Dems, like everyone, get to eat popcorn and watch the implosion of the Republican party.

DeSantis has no chance of winning either. Trump already won Florida in 2020 and was still 38 electoral votes away from the presidency. What states would he be expected to flip?

Even if he chose Youngkin, he wouldn't be able to get Virginia. We hate that guy here. The only reason he was elected was because it was an off year. The past four elections show that VA is 50%+ blue when you get the higher voter turnout of a presidential year.

This means Dems did not lock down businesses? Did not mandate vaccines? Have not got us in a proxy war? Have not presided over inflation rates not seen in 40 years?

Trump asked people to do stuff does NOT = "he wouldn't let us leave the house".

Ouch! Look at today's front page picture and headline on Fox online news. Big picture of a smiling DeSantis with the headline about HIM getting a standing ovation.

Oh the disrespect to Trump!!

I supported Trump from the escalator. I'm kinda done with the guy. Father of the Vaccines (that don't even work yet you lose your job if you don't get it) has been the best thing to help usher in the Great Reset. The World Economic Forum crowd need Trump. If he didn't exist they would need to invent him. He plays a pseudo foe and by the time he's done his next term you'll be eating bug burgers and worried about your social credit score and running to get your shot like livestock with your digital ID. His prescience has rushed this agenda.

I liked his foreign policy. I like hearing a US president telling world leaders he's not the President of the World just the USA and having a policy that lines up with that. Making genuine efforts to not just lower tensions but hasten a peace deal between the Koreas was a highlight.

The world needs to transition into a multi-polar order without US Supremacists in the Deep State blowing up the planet to stop it. Can't be stopped. Only question is how many die until we get there.

Inflation huh? You mean the same inflation happening worldwide? Inflation that’s higher in Europe and through the world? Didn’t realize Biden could influence the world economy like that (that’s sarcasm, he can’t).

next talk about gas prices…..a commodity that’s prices on world demand. And we produced Mohr oil now under Biden than ever under Trump. So let’s hear about energy independence without knowing what you’re talking about

How about Haley, DeWine, or Hogan as candidates?

So the policies if the US government do not impact the world?

Trump started the lockdowns.

Plus, he’s the one who gets credit for developing the Covid vaccines you guys live so much.

“Two weeks to flatten the curve!!!”

You Joe Biden are the man who DESTROYED him.

They said he’d beat you in the debates - wrong, you owned him.

They said he’d beat you in the Presidential Election - wrong, you wiped the floor with him.

They said the ninja warriors would find the prove of mass election fraud and reverse the election results - wrong, you’re still in office and he’s still mad.

They said a red earthquake was coming in the mid terms and Trump picks winning candidates - wrong.

Keep underestimating Joe Biden people. He wrecked Trumps politicos career twice now.

Friend of mine got duped into an abusive relationship with a smooth talker. He drove a fancy car and bought her lavish presents; they ate at fancy restaurants and got bottle service at clubs. They took a few trips to resorts. She was having fun showing it all off on Insta.

Needless to say, he left her … and left her with a mountain of debt. We helped her get credit counseling to reduce the debt, and taking on a second job has helped her make progress paying down some of it.

We figure if she keeps at it, she’ll be totally on her feet again in about five years.

But it’s been hard, and she’s been heard to say, “Things were just better when I was with him.”

Trump? You mean the guy who, WHILE PRESIDENT, didn't know that the UK was nuclear power? Who didn't know that Finland was not a part of Russia? Who doesn't know how to pronounce "Yosemite"? That guy?

When Trump won the 2016 nomination, my thought was that the Republicans had lost control of their base. Much of what has transpired since has been moderate Republicans pretending that the extremists in the party are better allies than moderate Democrats. The middle still exists and is still probably the majority position.

Politics is broken and it's mostly going to fall on moderate Republicans to fix it. In the short term this will cost them power which is why they've resisted thus far.

Trump has lost enough of his luster that the moderate Republicans now see him as sufficiently unacceptable that he probably doesn't make it out of the primaries. It remains to be seen if whoever does can draw enough of the Trump base to be successful in the general elections.

But, wait. There’s more…

You do know that those were paid actors for his elevator stunt.

Again, how about them? Any thoughts from our Republican posters?

Poor victim again. Loser

That's a bit dramatic. The most recent election showed that Americans are largely moderates. Trump's M@GA candidates lost in resounding fashion and moderate Republicans flipped enough seats to regain the House. Both parties need to note this. The media loves to spin this as a massive division of diametrically opposed forces for ratings. In reality, most citizens want the same things: a strong economy, safe streets, good roads, decent schools, opportunity, plus equal rights and protections. People want pragmatic governance and are averse to forced societal change, dogmatic ideologies, and regression.

The only folks spoiling for a fight or secession are lunatics and fringe thinkers. If we convince the media to take away their megaphones by ignoring them, a lot of rancor and perceived division would disappear overnight.
