Even if he's not dead by then he'll be so spectacularly senile that he won't be able to dress or feed himself.

You’ve seen him, right?

The bizarre thing is that his handlers let him go out in public like that.

I don’t think he’ll be in any shape mentally or physically to run again.

Until they carry him away and finally box him up for burial, we’re stuck with this (AND with him). He’s like the stain you can’t ever get rid of or bleach out. Including the smell.

And likely get nominated.

Just one of those scary projections that hit me every once in awhile.

They will pry the GOP from his cold, dead hands.

I am just completely FLOORED at what he's able to get away with. And so few people try to go after him seriously and with the full fist of the law. So few people even consider scratching the "teflon" off of him so they can reach the tender underbelly he keeps so well-guarded and protected.

Once again, I find myself thinking of that old saying: "Nothing lasts forever." And I keep wondering how long it'll be before that saying FINALLY applies to the donald.

It's just flat-out unbelievable.

the rethugs will enact the 25th Amendment and relieve him of duty and the hateful JD Vance will become president.

God, the rethug part has really blighted the nation with some frightening scenarios that could happen.

particularly if he causes down-ballot Republicans to lose alongside him, GOP resistance to another Trump candidacy will be much stronger going forward than it is now. He'll be seen as a loser who makes Republicans lose, even more than he already is. He will still hold on to his die-hard cult base -- but not all of it.

Look how bad his condition is now, and imagine how much worse it will be if he's still alive in four years time at 82. The court cases won't go away and he'll probably be convicted again. His condition is not going to improve, and he's not going to pick up any new support between now and 2028. He will be weaker in the GOP primaries, and might even get defeated if the Republican rank-and-file decide they're tired of losing.

If Trump loses this time, I seriously doubt that he will ever stand a chance of getting near the White House again.

If he wins, then all bets are off because we might not even have elections in 2028.

continue his deterioration as he moves through lawsuits, financial stress, judgements and even the Kremlin Repub party will want to dump him to strive for a more winning hand.

Yeah he's getting away with everything right now with all the delays but once he loses in November (AND HE WILL)

They will unleash the beast and throw the book at him!

He will be last season Morton Downey Jr., which is already pretty much what he's been like on this run.

He’ll croak within a year of the humiliating that’s coming.
