The 2024 election

Even if TFG is in good enough physical shape to run, he still has to get through the primary process. Despite all the Republican sycophants falling all over themselves to suck up to him now, three years is an eternity in politics. If he gets no further with his efforts than having "His Pillow" fawn over him in fantasies about "re-instatement," he has a rocky road to the nomination. He will have to present himself in the Republican primaries like all the rest of them. My bet is that every single Republican nut case who fantasizes about him/herself in the White House can bring up the number 8,000,000 on an Excel spreadsheet, and think, "I can sure as hell do better than THAT!" The big money will think so, too.

We need to keep in the back of our minds that the Republican we will be facing in the 2024 election has a good chance of NOT being His Pillow's best pal.

One side pushing all the BIG LIES and the other trying to reclaim reality. I hope we can watch their part commit a public suicide.

2. And I hope we do NOT do it to ourselves. We are not immune to that.

Imagine Nina Turner gets into Congress and starts a small faction of her own. You don‘t need many. Ten members are enough to at least try to hold Pelosi hostage. As much as we might gloat over a Republican circus, think how much they‘d gloat if we blew our majority (and the speaker‘s gavel) over a Nina Turner—either original or clone—pretending to be one of us in Congress.

4. It's HIS if he wants it. I don't think he wants it.

He'll pretend but in the end he'll back the best ring-kisser.


Kristi Noem comes to mind...
