If he ran I'd vote for him. "Stand by your man" kind of thing. And Bernie is a much better messenger for his ideas than the toxic woke wing of the DSA. But obviously Biden will run unopposed

I am using this thread to announce my write-in campaign for President in 2024

[Pres Mike]

Post election poll- a majority of Dems think Biden should not run for re-election.

I don't think any Dem president has had a majority of his party think he should not run for a 2nd term... this is why all conventional wisdom saying Biden definitely wins the nomination, is not reliable this year.

Also- I can't think of another example where a party didn't want president to run- due to mental capacity issues (Age in Binden's case).

Hot take: Most Americans have become very cynical. Especially Democrats. I would suspect any president to be underwater on rather they should run unless its a cult like Trump

Marianne Williamson is supposedly to launch an exploratory committee soon and hiring former Bernie staff in IA NH NV and  SC

At a party in L.A. last month, Williamson spoke about her position against “corporate Democrats” and the need to challenge Biden. Two very reliable sources have also told me that Williamson has already put out feelers to donors and secured an exploratory committee campaign tab on Act Blue. She has visited New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Iowa (before the decision to nix Iowa from the primary lineup). She’s already trying to build an operation in South Carolina where staffers are reaching out to former Bernie Sanders alumni to see if they’re game. (Williamson declined to comment.)

I was at an event with Marianne a few months ago and she did tell us she's considering it, and I've heard she's already begun hiring staff here in Cali as well. Nina Turner is also considering running as well, I think Marianne is closer to announcing though it's interesting her and Nina are friends I wonder if they'd run against each other or if Nina will just not run and support Marianne if she hops in first. Id prefer Nina over Marianne though id support either Marianne has said and done some questionable things but Marianne has higher name rec and a larger fundraising network.

This article seems to have all the POTUS prospect names, both plausible and semi-plausible, in one place. I know it sounds hackish, but I find the Dem names in general more plausible than the Pub names, although some like Tim Scott are untested, in the sense of having had to endure a trial by combat under the klieg lights. As to that certain little Napoleon and perceived Pub golden boy, cast as the white knight from Camelot with his lance prepared and ready to affix Trump’s head at its point, in case you missed it like I did, DeSantis demagogued big time and erroneously about covid vax booster shots being medically worthless.

That is very disappointing and concerning. He may not be quite the pathological liar Trump is, but I consider that kind of conduct disqualifying myself. Making sh*t up like that that endangers the public welfare makes one unfit for power. YMMV.

Oh the article link. Enjoy - or not.

Trump is floating a third party run if he fails to win the Republican nomination.

Former president Donald Trump has approvingly shared an article on his Truth Social account which argues that he should mount a third-party bid for the presidency if Republicans fail to award him the GOP nomination in the upcoming 2024 election.

On Wednesday, Mr Trump, who last month declared himself a candidate in the 2024 Republican primary, shared an article in the right-wing journal American Greatness on his Truth Social page. The article compares his theoretical third-party run to the 1912 candidacy of Theodore Roosevelt, whose campaign on the “Bull Moose” or “Progressive” party line split the GOP vote and led to William Howard Taft’s defeat at the hands of Woodrow Wilson.

The author of the editorial, Dan Glernter, writes that the inevitable consequence of a Trump third-party bid would be to hand the 2024 election to the Democratic candidate. Mr Glernter suggests that the result would be justifiable as a punishment for the GOP’s rejection of Mr Trump should he lose the party’s nomination to another candidate.



"The RNC can pretend Trump isn’t loved by the base anymore, that he doesn’t have packed rallies everywhere he goes. But I’m not buying it: Talk to Republican voters anywhere outside the Beltway, and it is obvious that he is admired and even loved by those who consider themselves 'ordinary' Americans,” Mr Glernter wrote, adding that he has “no intention of supporting a Republican Party that manifestly contravenes the desires of its voters”.

He said the same in 2016 to fear GOP elites. If he loses the nomination, I don't think he'll run 3rd party. He either tries to sabotage DeSantis in one way or another, he makes some half-hearted endorsement in exchange for a pardon.

Keep in mind that even without a promise of a pardon, Trump would be legally more negatively effected if the Democrats win. The reason for this is, the vast majority of cases usually end up some kinda of plea bargins and the sentence could be very very different depending on which type of plea deal is negotiated.

Secondly even if he is taken to trial and convicted, he 100% would not be sent to any of the prisons we already have given that regular prison guards would not have any of the security clearance needed to guard a former president. It is very likely he would be sent to some place outside the prison system to serve his sentence: Could be a former military base or house arrest at one of his properties which then is fenced off.

Im sure Trump would rather do a sentence at a fenced off Mar-A-Lago or Fenced off Bedminister than some empty military base.

This may have already been mentioned. I don't know why Gretchen Whitmer would want to leave as Governor with the Democrats in full control in the House for the Sh*t show of Washington, and she seems to feel the same. This is in regards to her running for Stabenow's Senate seat.

In a statement, Whitmer alluded to completing the entirety of her second term as governor.

"Debbie is one-of-one. As governor of this great state for the next four years, I look forward to working with her through the end of her term and beyond in however she serves our state next," Whitmer said.

Given that mostly all the U.S President can get done (I appreciate Biden's successes) is in foreign policy, I'm surprised that it isn't by now mostly former military leaders who run for the Presidency.

woke has become a kind of "slur" word today, like "nazi" but than for left wingers. It has replaced commie or tankie.
