2024

Do you think if Trump in lieu of primaries and caucuses holds an Apprentice like competition to choose the Republican nominee for president in 2024 prominent candidates would compete?

He is way too narcissistic to think anyone else could do the proper grift.

that he will not run again because his tiny fragile ego couldn't handle it if he lost.

But that doesn't mean he won't hint at a run so he can take money away from his rube supporters.

A grift, as you said.

I spent my "growing up" years there. When I moved there in 1960, there was a big "Welcome to Onslow County, Home of the KKK)

I didn't know what KKK meant at age 10 coming in from California, but I learned later. I can just see her winning there.

we can't let that happen.

My dad was stationed there. but we lived off base. I went to Jacksonville Jr High, but then went to White Oak High School which was out of town. Piney Green at the time, was mixed but not integrated. Blacks lived on down the road, while whites lived nearer the highway along base side. That was actually over a half century ago, so I expect things changed quite a bit!

But even so, Ivanka thinking running in this district?!!!! Is she trying to appeal to the Marine Corps? God I hope they're not in for her and her family.

is that Twitler said the quiet parts out loud.

as soon as they find someone to not say the quiet parts out loud, they will all latch on to them and the corporate money will flow again.

Trump is an idiot who fomented a populism to attain the presidency, a job he never really wanted.

The next guy-- I guarantee you it won't be a woman!-- will be far smarter than Trump. He could succeed in the seditionist plot.

Trump couldn't keep his yap shut. The next guy will be more seductive.

We must be vigilant.

and if Biden doesn't run again, and it is Harris, the chances of scattered-site, mini race wars kicking off are going to be cray high.

The next social barrier to go will be open, widespread use of the N-word by MAGAts against VP Harris.

I don't think he will be the nominee. His fragile little ego couldn't handle losing again. He will tease it out for the next 3 years, grift $$$ from his rubes, and then not run.

Let's hope we can keep him and his lawyers (if he can find any) busy in court for a while - just to slow him down.

line of prognostication. I see it differently, as Trump has already eaten of the forbidden foot, and that level of power is a lifelong addiction for his typology once introduced into the system.

Also, I see so many, for ages, say that Trump is a complete puppet of Putin, to the point of basically being an automaton. Assuming that is indeed true, and Putin has some monstrous thing(s) to hold over his head like a 21st century Sword of Damocles, then for sure the most USA-destroying thing is to have Trump run run run.

As far as him running..he may have support from the small donor, but that alone won’t be enough

The really big donors are gone!
The mercers and the koch’s didn’t support him the last time. The corporations are done with him. Sheldon Adelson is dead.
He totally fleeced the rnc

Notice he said in his announcement today “our great movement will now continue.” Nothing about him planning to run. If he announces, then the money is subject to the FEC. He doesn’t want that!

That is the real problem.

If you are white, which I am for disclosure, 6 out of 10 white people around you in a crowd are racist pieces of shit and they will continue to vote GOP as long as they hate who they hate and can remain anonymous, the silent white majority.

That is what we are really fighting.
