My Prediction For 2028 (IF There's An Election)

[ChoppinBroccoli]

Gavin Newsom v. Don, Jr.

Donnie will either die or be 25th Amendment'ed out by JD Vance within the first 2 years of his term. The Trump Cult members will be outraged that Vance deposed "The Chosen One" and turn against him. Don, Jr. will win the primary and get his clock cleaned by Gavin Newsom in the General Election.

This is all predicated on the (now very tenuous) idea that we even HAVE elections in 2028. I really think there's a better-than-average chance that Donnie will cancel all future elections and declare himself King before the end of 2025.

1. 25th amendment is impossible.

You might want to look up what it requires. Assuming a majority of his cabinet votes for it , which is doubtful. Trump is allowed to contest it. In which case it goes to congress and 2/3 votes are required in both house and senate.
None of that will ever happen. It's even harder than impeachment which only requires a simple majority in house and 2/3 in senate.

2. Yes, there will be an election in 2028.

I can't recall how many times in the past 23 years here on DU people have predicted cancelling an election.

3. In his last year in office, he will do a new "The Apprentice" show from the Whitehouse.

But this time, it will be to pick the next Republican nominee. He'll have the nominees do a bunch of stupid stuff to get the nomination.

4. In all likelihood Trump will die of Alzheimer's in advanced old age

in great luxury and comfort

Karma fucked up

5. If there's no election ...

There won’t be a United States!

Long live the Republic of New England and New York!

8. And Pacific States

10. Which is exactly what Pooty wants

He would love for us to be split up.

[Polybius]

11. Not just him

I've read it here.

[Tribetime]

6. I just hope we have somebody as inspiring as Obama or Hatris was

Somebody with energy to draw a hundred thousand crowd

[kansasobama]

7. There will be, question is

Will it be fair or Trump would set it up if Dems just keep quiet. If Trump goes through 4 years with no Dem revolution, we are done.

9. There May Be An Election, But The Outcomes Could Be Pre-Determined

Doesn't Russia still hold an election?

[Fiendish Thingy]

12. Won't be Newsom

Although he will run a hard campaign for the Nomination.

More likely Beshear or Cooper or another Red state Dem Governor (but not Shapiro)

Unless there is a major shift in the Dem power brokers/big donors, the nominee will likely be a straight white male centrist.

The VP nominee will likely be a Latino male.

I don’t think I’ll see another woman nominee in my lifetime, which is tragic.

As for Cokey, I don’t think he will be the heir apparent.
