Trump is likely to suffer more mini-strokes, or perhaps a major stroke, in the next few years making this a moot topic of discussion.

I think if there's a trump candidate it will be Jr. donnie's toast. I'm sure Ivanka wants it--but she doesn't really have the brawndo gene as strongly as Jr does to whip up the natives

This idea goes entirely against the intensely extroverted narcissism that he has displayed throughout his entire (very public) life. He literally cannot stand the thought that someone else might have gotten credit for something that he feels he deserved the credit for.

The idea that Trump would prefer to be the "power behind the throne" who controls events from behind the curtain is absurd.

Absolutely not. Trump would be a very weak general election candidate if he got the nomination, but any presidential candidate in a general election in the U.S. is drawing live.

I have voted Democratic in every presidential election so far, but I always hope that the GOP nominee is competent and not a lunatic. Because that matters a lot when my preferred candidate does not win the election.

Jeb failed more because of his personality than his policies. In the the United States (and to a large extent, the world), the appeal of populism has always been spasmodic, not steady. I don't expect a decades long trend of populism in the United States.

You care so much about freedom and democracy you want to overturn the results of an election to put your guy in power. This is why people call you fascists. Or, as you would say, "reminds me of communist China".

What cause of action do you see for a suit to overturn the election results?

the media calling the election doesn't mean jack diddley.

Issues with the votes and I think you are bright enough to find it on conservative media if you so wish.

What are the issues with the votes? Please be specific. I'm not going looking on "conservative media", you can tell me about it since you brought it up.

When it does and your guy continues to go nowhere with it, what will be your belief then when he tells you that the legal results were rigged against him? Maybe you can go to more press conferences at landscape companies then...

All the best.

Romney has shown he can win the Republican nomination, but he has also shown he can lose the general election. I still think he is the front runner for 2024 if the powers that be are looking for anti-Trump.

Florida's Governor DeSantis is maga's second coming.

It would be a challenge for Haley to win the primary, but I'm far from convinced that Pence would be formidable in a primary.

It is also beyond obvious that Pence would be screwed if Trump ran in 2024. But I would bet against Trump running.

Why do you care? Let Trump supporters waste time, resources and energy on these investigations. If the investigations claim what you say that Biden is the winner you can dunk on Trump supporters again for a 2nd time. It will also help with unity of the country if everyone knows it was a fair election. It's a win win Dems either way so why do you care? Especially with Russia hacking the 2016 election.

How many times do you cater to their demands?

Doubt Trump will run again, considering age/health/lack of desire and the fact that his ego won’t want another loss pinned on his jacket. That being said, Trumpism clearly still works, as shown by the vote totals, and doubtless someone will run again on the Trump model. It really took an insane amount of anti-Trump sentiment for the Dems to turn out in large enough numbers to succeed here, something that likely won’t happen vs a fresh faced Trump spiritual successor.

I dunno who the next Trump is, but it sure as **** ain’t Pence.

I don't see Trump remaining at a "person, woman, man, camera, TV" cognitive level in 2024 to even consider running again. Don Jr. or Ivanka might run in his place though.
