I'm actually hoping he backs out of the debate, thereby allowing his pitiful delusions of grandeur to continue until election day. If he does debate and she slices and dices him, as I suspect she will, the brutal public humiliation that will ensue is going to bring him face to face with his personal state of mental decomposition. If that happens, I fear he will have a full-on breakdown, and if he steps down (or has to be physically removed to a hospital in a straight-jacket), what happens to the Republican ticket? What happens to our election? This has me worried.

Is he acting crazy as a set up to be declared mentally incompetent? So Vance can move to the top of the ticket? So he can then be pardoned if (dog forbid) they are successful stealing the whole she-bang for the bearded weirdo?

Someone please talk me down.

will cuss a blue streak about how mistreated he has been, will yell at his audience that there aren't enough of them, will tell them they don't deserve him, and then will devolve into profane gibberish. I can see it all very clearly.

To kill Kamala or Walz.

Or # 2 he gets so messed up psychologically or with drugs he launches into full blown word salad for an entire speech.

And after the media tears it apart word by word pointing at his unfitness for the presidency
He hides and fears debating Kamala even worse so during the debate lapses into word salad again ,freezes up like McConnell did . Because of
this problem he has to be escorted offstage. And Kamala still wins the debate obviously based on arguments and sheer amount of cheers regardless of trumps “issues”.

A million memes are launched making fun of his word salad, freezes and general weirdness. So trump is too chicken to campaign and loses the election in a landslide.

After unsuccessfully attempting to split his legacy and MAGA holdings between feuding clans of siblings DJTJ and Eric, we see TSF wandering mad through the swamps and parking lots of Florida, cursing and raging incoherently at an ever-dwindling retinue of grifters and dead-end toadies, while Melania and Barron take over Mar-a-Lago.

I could imagine Kevin Smith making this movie.

as his prison sentencing date nears?

Merchan will surprise everyone by sentencing trump to prison. At that point, the GOP will finally pounce: inspired by what Democrats were able to pull off, they are going to pull both trump and vance off the ticket.

From there, multiple State deadlines will have passed and the GOP will pretty much bow out of the election. They're ready to start fresh without trump.

It will be awkward and unprecedented, and there will be a lot of legal challenges, but ultimately Kamala will win.

Been rumored a while now.

I do believe TPTB will engineer a Comey Moment to balance out 2016, a nice bookend to events.

It could also be the capture of the J6 Bomber. I still think they know but can't reveal foreign sources of information. But hey i read too many Clancy and Baldacci novels.

Sat Aug 17, 2024, 07:26 PM

- He has a nervous breakdown on stage and is carted off. He’s not beyond faking it if he thinks that it will work to his advantage.
- He has a stroke or heart attack on stage and is carted off. If necessary, he’ll fake it till he makes it.
- He takes off for Saudi Arabia. The Government will be torn as to whether to let him get away with it.
- The Republican Party finally realizes that he is killing the party and takes care of the issue, so to speak. TSK is replaced by another Nazi clown, possibly Junior, or a ‘stealth candidate’ like Larry Hogan.

Any or all of these things could happen. It’s a crapshoot. In any case, Democrats win in a landslide in November.
