    The notion that Donald Trump could run and win the presidency in 2016 seemed so danged implausible as to make me chuckle back then. I’m not laughing anymore. Those that underestimate Trump and his supporters do so at their own peril. None of us know the future and fortune tellers have an abysmal accuracy rate.

    Don't agree. There are not 2 parties, there are 3. The third one is not an official party. It's the Independents. They are at least a third of the electorate. Trump won't get enough of their votes to win, and whoever the Democrat is, that person will win.

    She's disliked, alright. But for Trump, that wouldn't be enough to win against her in 2024 if they both run.

    Don't agree. She would love to run, and she could be "the answer" to a failing Biden and unwanted Harris.

    True, if the Republicans nominate a sensible candidate. I think the general election is theirs to win ... or lose.

    I think it's possible. Let's say 4 Republicans run for the nomination. Trump gets 35%, Candidate B gets 30%, Candidate C gets 25%, and Candidate D gets 10%. Trump wins the nomination. He only garnered 35% support from Republicans, but he's got the nomination.

    I agree, trump will not go to jail

    but he will throw his 2 sons to the wolves in a new your minute if it would help him ...

    he will protect Ivanka because she is his fantasy girlfriend ...

    I think you are correct..the only way to save himself is to run and then win

    I dont think he can win and beat anybody..hell he could not even beat Biden last year

    The first debate question posed to the Cry Baby Loser should be, "You insist you won the presidency twice. Why are you now conspiring to violate the 22nd Amendment?"

    Screen Shot 2022-01-22 at 9.05.54 AM.png

    If he mewls that bamboo ballots, Italian satellites, and/or bone spurs prevented his serving his second term, and that Republican governors, Republican secretaries of state, and Republican attorneys general all faked recounts and audits, while dozens of judges - his own appointees included - all threw his baseless challenges out-of-court, because all those Republicans (Let's not forget, Pence, Barr, and others in his own regime) were in cahoots in a vast, monumental, clandestine conspiracy as well, it will then begin to approach the number of actual conspiracists that booted him out on his big flabby tushie at their first opportunity: those treacherous 81,268,924 Americans.

    Since losing the 2020 election, the failed casino operator and faded reality-tv entertainer has been on a relentlessly downward trajectory.


    When the skank who was rutting with paid-ff bimbos behind the backs of trophy wives won over white evangelicals in 2016, he was being lavished with free media coverage - Trump Rode $5 Billion in Free Media to the White House - that made his normal Republican rivals for the party nomination livid.

    Judging by the current headlines, if he attempts to re-establish his legal immunity in 2024, he'll again be the darling of the fourth estate.

    If Trump manages to eviscerate his record, if he overcomes all the civil and criminal charges against him, if solid evidence emerges that his goon attack on Congress was perpetrated by BLM, antifa, and ordinary tourists all disguised as Trump goons, his lead-pipe cinch campaign promises must feature his building a big, beautiful wall and making Mexico pay for it, repealing 'Obamacare' and replacing it with "something terrific!", rebuilding America's crumbling infrastructure, lowering unemployment, resurrecting coal mining, reviving the U.S. steel industry, re-establishing manufacturing, and finally finding some pretext to "Lock her up!"

    These all are tried-and-failed, guaranteed fly-paper to attract his voters, again, and again, and again.

    If the variant is to return with equal ferocity, his running mate must be as brain dead as Caesar's wife, and also entice free media coverage away from Trump's lurid criminal and civil trials via his own lurid criminal and civil trials. The possibilities abound:

    Sterling chaps to a man!

    The perfidy that enables them all to spread lurid headlines concerning criminal and civil prosecutions across the ticket is enticing, but it is still essential that building a big, beautiful wall and making Mexico pay for it, repealing 'ObamaCare' and replacing it with "something terrific!", and the all other fake campaign promises be recycled.

    I agree. Trump would be unlikely to survive the primary elections. I think he may know that.

    I agree. If the republicans run Trump, we will get a democrat president in 2024. That president won't be Biden, however.

    I hope not! I think he has a good chance of being the GOP nominee. I think he has a zero chance in winning the White House again.

    Where does this come from? He won the second most votes in history. He has a very high chance of the nomination.

    Unfortunately that is possible. He is damaged goods. He can't win a general election. I wish that weren't true but that is how I see it.

    Working together with the future president of the country?
    Hold on….
    :roflol::roflol::roflol:
    okay, now that that is out of my system

    Hillary supported the resistance movement. She held on to her claim that the election was manipulated by a foreign entity (Russia). I also believe they were doing things that should be never forgotten but they were never found to have changed a single vote. Secondly, they made a now proven false Russian dossier and falsely claimed that Trump not only was helped by the Russians but was collaborating with them to do so. They had 3 investigations and all of them could never come up with evidence for this. They also unmasked his campaign during a presidential election and if that is not election tampering then I suppose what the Russians done was okay as well. To claim there was some sort of friendly helping of the incoming president is a laughable lie.

    He shouldn’t win the election and I hope he does not. He’s no conservative, I don’t know what you would classify him as but he’s definitely not worthy of the republican ticket again. I would like to see pence run against him lol. Won’t happen but it would be funny.

    FFS Hillary will be 76 in 2024.
    Is there no one in the US qualified to run who isn't a decrepit old fart?

    There were plenty on both sides trying to get the nomination in '16 and '20 but it was the decrepit old farts who were selected.
    Many Western democracies around the world manage to elect leaders in their 50s and even 40s.
    Why is the US so determined to run such frail and befuddled coffin dodgers?

    Here's the deal. We're all adults and we all have our own beliefs and opinions about every conceivable topic.

    We are also pack animals and we need other members of the pack to do what they do and we do what we do and the whole pack benefits. That's why we have societies instead of everyone being appointed as President over their "me planet" to the exclusion of all the other Presidents ruling their own "me planet"s.

    Therefore, there is nothing productive, responsible or beneficial to be found in hating <whatever we hate> because we rely on our societies for our longevity. As such, bickering with, name-calling, dismissal, denial, anger, all that stuff Trump embodies and stands for is counterproductive to our first goal, as a society, to live another day to promote the survival of our pack. Those two concepts are mutually exclusive.

    Further, within that, our pack (USA) weakens and becomes more vulnerable to other packs (not USA) wanting to encroach or even invade our country. So, while I agree that we all the same rights to Freedom of Speech and we all have the inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, I believe that you and people that think like you may be changing the "social climate" of the country. I acknowledge that you (and those like you) absolutely have the right to do that. I vehemently defend everyone's rights even if I don't agree with how one is choosing to exercise them.

    I choose to not get in the gutter because there's no point, and my goal is to work with the people that understand this isn't about partisanship, blame or division. I stand with them on that because, as we claim to be Christians, the foundation of that endeavor clearly speaks to

    "A house divided against itself cannot stand."
    For all these reasons, and because of who I am, please note that I will no longer engage with you when your responses only involve spreading hatred, division and discord against your own fellow Americans. I choose to use my energy to contribute to my society and country and I trust there are enough of us out there to push back against the negativity that you and your ilk use your freedom to sow.

    So I guess it is me and my ilk vs. you and your ilk. I choose to use my energy to push back against the negativity of you and your ilk. If you don't get in the gutter, you are not in the fight.

    All three are not running at the same time. WTF? The only person talking about Hillary running again was Tucker Carlson.

    Very rare for candidates who lost to try and run again.

    She conceded. She made no attempt to reverse the election. And if you (unlike Trump) bother to read the Constitution, you can find out what the word "treason" actually means.

    Complaining in a speech is neither insurrection nor treason.
