It is inevitable that Donald Trump will be in the news every day from now until November 2024 - and all of it will be bad news for him and the GOP.
There won't be any heart-warming stories about the former "pResident's" charitable works. There won't be any photo-ops featuring him visiting disabled vets at a hospital, or comforting the families of victims of mass shootings.
What there will be is a deluge of headlines about investigations into his criminal behaviour, video clips of his delusional rantings, and photos of the dwindling crowds attending his rallies. Throw into the mix the increasingly-deranged GOP powers-that-be trying to convince their voters that what they will be hearing and seeing over the next year and a half is 'fake news' that isn't really happening.
Ironically, Donald Trump himself - along with the lunatics who still support him - is quickly becoming the Democrats' most valuable weapon in securing a Biden 2024 win.
When NO news will be good news for your proposed candidate for the next eighteen months, it's time to brace yourself for defeat - and realize that the endless cries of "They stole the election from him TWICE!" won't be a winning political campaign strategy anytime in the future.

(5,435 posts)he will normalized by the "news" media and democrats, as usual, underestimate the threat.
we live in a very sick culture inhabited by very stupid people who think trump is a "stable genius," and that by declaring himself a billionaire" trump achieves very special status as god's chosen one.

(27,818 posts)He already lost to Biden - and that was before January 6th, before his indictment in NYS, before the E. Jean Carrol verdict, and before we have heard what will happen in Georgia. or what Jack Smith has uncovered.
His party is in trouble as well, thanks to overturning Roe, and making access to guns easier as mass shootings are on the rise - just to name a few things that are unacceptable to the majority of voters both (D) and (R).
There is nothing but bad news coming Trump's way - and 50% of American voters are not going to hear that news and consider it 'normal'.

(21,405 posts)because he will be so beatable. Schiff was totally against that idea and made the comment that a Trump 2024 victory won't be for 4 years, it will be a lifetime appointment.

(3,879 posts)An ordinary American like most of the rest of us would already be tried and in prison now for the crimes he's committed. Letting him run is just letting him flaunt the law and get away with it, which is his theme.
I don't really care that he doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell, it is a disgrace and an embarrassment to this nation and this presidency that he shares the campaign platform, and it is a testimony to our lack of ability to enforce the law. He shouldn't be a candidate, that's wrong, and not doing something about that is proof that we are not a nation of law and order.
