For now, it's just a lot of hot air.
I know we were all saying that back in 2012 when Trump started to rumble about a Presidential run. But that was back before he had a record to run on. Once he did, he lost.

Trumpers will stop eating and paying rent just so they can show their loyalty to Trump. He's the new Christian Pope. It doesn't matter that he's a felon and a rapist and a sex abuser. Once they ordain him Pope, he's infallible.

(2,343 posts)sound like a bad ass band name. I call dibs! I'm gonna put together a band with this name. We'll use every instrument imaginable on every song, all playing at different pitches and tempos. It'll definitely cause some sort of madness.

(1,572 posts)when you are busy being in court in New York. He has gone a step too far in the eyes of many, me included. This will not be forgotten. Running for president in 2024 will show many film clips of Dumpy (if he runs) at his pep rallies and insulting ways, lying ways, cheating ways, and disrespecting ways. His lack of knowledge about governing as well as the fact he hasn't really worked a day over the past 4 years, will not have set well with the public. *0 million will have voted against him. It would be more in four years. I doubt he will run. He will bilk the donors, but keep the funds.

(7,431 posts)Rubio and/or Haley don't have the moxie to replace Trump. They're just standard politicians, and they aren't able to pull off a con in the same way that Trump can do it.

(17,862 posts)For some reason I am envisioning someone from the wrestling community. I don't know them very well, but that seems to be the raw meat that Trump cultists want. You just need to combine with the Evangelicals and the monied Republicans and you can repeat the formula.
Is one of the megachurch pastors a possibility?
Any country music stars very political? Someone like a younger Charlie Daniels.
Stock car drivers?

Rubio is dangerous (A Latino, younger, better looking version of Reagan)
I don't know if Haley would be a female Romney or worse.

(15,398 posts)I'm not defending Reagan in any way, but he was very handsome at Rubio's age, and didn't have to do a front comb-over either.

(1,955 posts)Look how big Palin was right after her election loss. She was a shoe in for the next presidential race. 4 years later she was almost irrelevant. I'm hoping the same fate happens with trump.
LeftInTX
(25,300 posts)She was able to get a short-lived reality show, but the most interesting part of the reality show was Alaska family life and not Palin herself.
Trump is old and will have to work too hard to keep up the charade. He already had his reality show...Nothing to see here, move along. Without power, Trump is just a windbag.

NoRoadUntravelled
(2,626 posts)They need to raise $$ to pay off campaign debts and they're broke. That's why they started the bogus election fraud donations thing. People thought they were paying for election lawyers but the money was going to pay campaign bills.
I'm not saying they won't try in '24 which is why a lot of R's need to lose their seats to Democrats between now and then. A majority in both House and Senate will put us in a good position to see this kind of horror show never happens again. It's also why Congress needs to enact legislation that will make it easier to stop another coup attempt.

As for Donnie, I doubt that his physical health and mental state will allow him to run and win: he wont survive the stress.

(3,491 posts)All this laughing and thinking it cant happen is whistling past the graveyard. Of course hell run again and goddamnit he COULD WIN.
Stop pretending this cant happen. It may have all started as a joke but its deadly serious now. He got nearly 75 MILLION votes. Hes a serious threat.
