Can Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens still be a Republican presidential contender in 2024 after these new 2018 stories about an extramarital affair occured, or is Greitens political career over?

No. And if he did, he'd be crushed by most any competent Democrat.

I mean, the president has cheated on every one of his wives and the former speaker of the house divorced his wife on her deathbed.

First of all, no.

Second of all, as people have said, the blackmail threat is the bigger story out of this. No person like that will ever be nominated again for anything.

He probably wouldn't run for President in 2024 after losing reelection in 2020.

Nope, and even if (by some miracle) he got the GOP nom, he would be crushed in an almost perfect recreation of LBJ vs. Goldwater in the popular vote. EV wise, close to Reagan vs. Mondale, with him being Mondale.

No.  He's toxic and the GOP needs to move on...desperately.

He can't even win the gubernatorial race in 2020.

No. He'll retire in 2020, and it's likely that a Democrat replaces him. If Stephen Webber retires as Chair in 2019, he would be a great candidate for the Democratic Party to nominate. Young, handsome, charismatic(to some extent), and he appears to be a great organizer. Kander and Koster did better than they should have in a state as Republican as Missouri is.

This. Webber is very handsome and could do well in the Bootheel.

I think he can, we did nominate a billionaire who痴 had multiple affairs in the past...

Trump has never been alleged to have blackmailed the women he had affairs with. People can overlook marital problems/indiscretions, because it is hard to know what is really going on in a marriage from the outside. It is harder to overlook blackmail, which has virtually no mitigating circumstances.

What about the allegations claiming Trump molested children with Jeffrey Epstein?

No, he's on some psychopathic 50 Shades sh!t. I'd be surprised if he wins reelection or even gets renominated in 2020.
