Bold of you to assume that Trump is only going to serve one more term.

I mean, if he wins and we still are going to have midterm elections in 2026, those results may very well obliterate the Republican party in a similar way the Obama era Democratic Party was weakened.

If he wins Republicans will nominate him for an illegal third term.

Watch his speeches and look at his physical condition. It's very, very unlikely he can serve more than one additional term even if he's somehow allowed to.

If Trump tries to run for a third term he will be denied ballot access in almost every state in America.

Let me tell you, if Trump wins in 2024 and is still president on January 21, 2029, I will leave this forum forever.

I will take that bet, so long as Trump is alive and not in ill health by 2028. The guy has on numerous occasions expressed interest in a third term. How would beating every criminal charge (and maybe even pardoning himself), a Republican senate packing the courts with loyalists, and a DOJ operated by hardcore loyalists NOT embolden him find a workaround to the 22nd amendment? Republicans in Congress have rationalized every conceivable action by Trump over the past 8 years and as the country grows more polarized those rationalizations have only gotten stronger. 

It might not seem like a joke about a third term from a former president or a comment about civil war from a sitting congressperson is very serious, but every time that happens, a small stone is removed from the foundation upon which our republic is built. Remove enough stones, and the entire thing can collapse.

Trump's judges come from a list that the Federalist Society put before him, and aren't hand-picked for personal loyalty. Hence most of them take their commissions at least somewhat seriously, and say what you will about them, but ACB, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh are all considerably less ideologically hackish than Thomas or Alito.

Did you see the Rassy polls if an inc is near 50 Eday is over Biden isn't @33 he is @46 that's good enough for a 303 map
If Biden is up 7 in CO he isn't losing the upper Midwest

Maybe it should be simplified.

I have my doubts. I would not put it past Republicans to nominate him again and ignore the 22nd amendment.

While we're on the topic of the stages of grief: Trump and his loyalists still haven't gotten past the denial phase when it comes to the 2020 election.

There are nowhere near enough of those in states to get to 270 electoral votes.

Have his VP nominee on the top of the ticket in the rest of the states he needs. Their electors then vote for Trump to get over 270 votes. Goes to congress, which due to on going erosion of democracy has an unelected Republican majority in both chambers happy to ignore the 22nd amendment, and they award the presidency (for life effectively) to Trump.

This is very simple and given how things are going in the Republican party, really not out of the question.

Regardless if Trump wins in 2024 any GOP nominee in 2028 will get blown out in the swing states and has little to no path to 270. Plus there’s close to zero chance Republicans will hold both chambers of congress on January 6, 2029.

So democracy is over yet Democrats will win in 2026 and 2028. Interesting.

Thanks for the other point I forgot to add: If Trump’s succeeds in overturning Democracy, you will be responsible for helping him do it.

Frankly, I think Trump will try it. Jury is out on whether he succeeds, but if he doesn’t, Republicans pay the price in the long run.

Make sense, friend?

Somehow there’s always an existential threat requiring us to vote for Democrats. It’s been quite the decade of panic.


Don't question it, Bigot.

I am worried myself about a potential Republican Party wipeout (if the dollar/economy crashes). Doesn't change the fact that Trump will win.

You're the ElectionsGuy of 2024. I look forward to when you are proven wrong.
