Trump will seek a third term if elected in November

And Biden doesn't know who he is or where is at! I will take my chances with the guy who isn't sure about the 22nd Amendment, but knows not to open the football and press the buttons. I am thinking Biden might be totally lost on that. Ooh look at the pretty buttons and lights. What does this do? Oops!!!

 

Yeah, in November 2008, Obama said he believed that marriage is between a man and a woman, but flipped and didn't hold back marriage equality.

I don't think even the most conservative justice in 2020 and beyond would overturn marriage equality or abortion. That's considered "settled law". Democrats just bring up "boogeyman" topics every election cycle to keep you on their plantation. Republicans bring up "hopes" for fundamental Christians, and that's just pandering too.

I'm sure whoever Trump nominates will be grilled on both questions in the Senate hearing.

 

LOL! We have not had a leader for decades now.

 

It is difficult to make amendments, but no POTUS should be saying such things, let alone at political rallies, while running for another term.

 

It certainly feels like it some days

 

2008 was 12 years ago. At the time he said that he was just another establishment candidate. Marriage equality didn’t exist. I would have been surprised to see him say otherwise.
Flash forward to 2016. Marriage equality is now the law. We have Trump saying he will actively seek to overturn that through the judiciary. Trump, and the right as a whole, have given me no reason to believe they are not a threat to me and my family.

If a man states openly that he wishes to shoot me, I’ll not be the one to buy him the bullets.

 

A stable genius like Trump?

LOL!

 

That's still from January 2016, at a time when Trump was trying to figure out what Republicans are supposed to believe and say. LOL He was a registered Democrat most often in his life, an Independent "some", and rarely a Republican. His first campaign was very clumsy. I ended up voting 3rd party. I wasn't sure he wouldn't go full-blown Democrat if he won since he certainly was not knowledgeable about Republican rhetoric without a teleprompter.

Anyway, I believe marriage equality is safe. Trump has led very much as an old-school conservative moderate rather than left or far right.

You'd probably be thrilled with him if he had flipped a coin and run as a Democrat, and media would be fawning all over him instead of the daily thrashing.

 

"The left" isn't trying to subvert the DOJ into going after dear leader's political enemies and reducing sentences for his pals. Nor are they heavy-handedly editing vital public health information about the virus on the CDC's website. No one on "the left" has tried to hold up money to states that didn't support their elections. Nor have they tried to coerce foreign governments into supplying dirt on their opponents.

It wasn't "the left" who had federal troops in full gear toss tear gas and flash bombs and pepper spray at peaceful protesters just so dear leader could have a photo op with a bible in front of a nearby church, a church that did not want him there and did not appreciate being used by him. How phony can he get? Trump never attends church.

I could go on all day, but you won't ever admit to any of this being harbingers of the totalitarianism to come if Trump wins in Nov.

 

You probably just have more liberal biases than conservative values in general, and that's fine.

Log Cabin Republicans is the gay organization for the conservative LGBT community if you ever want to think outside the box.

Racism, sexism and sexual preference is very "yesterday" in both parties, especially with younger generations. Democrats are going to have to find a new story to tell for their first-line propaganda because those talking points are losing strength with every year that passes.

Doesn’t matter what he truly believes. He’s proven he doesn’t believe in anything other than further inflating his massive ego. If he thinks harming me and my family will benefit him, I absolutely believe he’ll do it. Given the rhetoric of the extreme right, a group he seems to hold in high regard, there’s reason to believe it’s not off the table.

Nope. I’ve know Trump was a scum bag huckster for a long time. I would be caught dead voting for him regardless of what shade of red or blue he thought suited him.

 

So Left=Bias and Right=Values? Wonder if that was intentional.
My sexual orientation is only a small part of what informs my political opinions. By every metric I hold valuable the right at best falls short and at worst is actively contrary to what I believe to be right and just. No need to think outside the box when Im not in one, but thanks anyway.

 

Happy Liberal-ing then.

 

I believe that he believes he is owed it, and that's enough of a reason for Trump to try.

This man you support, do you even know who he is?

Trump supporters seem to respond to Trump criticism by bringing up a fictional Trump character who doesn't exist in real life. The make-believe man you think he is would never seek a third term. The megalomaniac real-life Trump however, seriously could.

I hope you and the other Trump supporters who use the make-believe version of Trump to defend him and justify your positions at least know, even if you don't act like it, that your make-believe version isn't real.

 

Ah, yet another poster who can't be bothered to read past a headline. You should read the article and find out what "third term" means in that context.

 

oh.. who knew that suddenly context matters... I mean you and others didn't seem to care before your example blew up....

 

Sounds just like Obama's disciples...worshiping a fictitious image of the man versus the reality.

What party, pray tell, would allow Trump to run for a third term under their party banner.

The idea of Trump getting a third term is ridiculous, but very funny how seriously some people are taking the idea.

 

I never said he would get a third term, I said he might try. That's pretty much what everyone else is saying too. And normally, we could respond by saying "So and so would never let that happen" except that the Republican party has turned into the Trump Cult and no one, supporter or opponent alike, can say for sure what cult members will and will not do for their dear leader. Certainly there would be Republicans who would speak out against it, but as we've seen over the last few years, the amount of Republicans willing to challenge the president can be counted on one or two(or none at all) hands, depending on the issue.

So no, it is not open and shut. Especially since his supporters literally don't care what he does. At all.

 

Depends on what the amendment said. Trump vs. Obama vs. Clinton would be pay per view quality entertainment

 

It's only open and shut for people who are actually familiar with our Constitution.

 

That wasn't my example. The post you responded to was my first in this thread. Can't read past a headline or distinguish between forum members? Tsk.

 

Okay.

 

It's Trump. Do what most people do and ignore him.

 

No it wouldn't, because they can't retro act the 22nd. Right now Trump is President with the current 22nd amercement "rules" in place. They would have to amemt it before he was relected for that tot to apply anymore. Let me put it this way. Say a state gets rid of its death pettily for what ever reason. Then you go ape shi* and go kill a bunch of people and you get life. Now lets say that another person does that but they don't get caught right away but say they do after 6mo. During that 6mo that state brings back the death penitly. Because that law wasn't on the books at the time, that person can be put to death.

 

Yes, because he is that nuts.
