President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

I don't think you can say there's "no way" Trump wins in 2024. He almost won this time with gigantic disasters going off all around him where it should have been a rout.

2020 showed he has X number of electoral votes basically guaranteed unless demographics shift enough to take some states out of play. He gets a couple of those to flip back his way. It's not that far-fetched, especially depending on the candidate the Dems end up putting out there.

 

He probably has at least 100 electoral votes in the bag from deep red states. If you assume Texas doesn't flip, and if it does, it won't matter who Republicans nominate, he'll be over at least 150. You can't convince me he couldn't rustle up the usual suspects -- Florida and Ohio -- and have Georgia and Arizona swing back to where he's right there, to say nothing of a couple other swing states turn back red, for whatever reason that comes about in the next three years

 

Well, you have to have a few screws loose to be an MMA fighter.

 

If he's still alive he's a threat. But I noticed one thing during the trial yesterday. With him gone from the daily conversation, he sounds even more childish/limited vocabulary/reactionary than he did as it all happened. When you don't hear him speak for weeks and then you get his narcissism and hatred, it seems more apparent. No one in America politics talk likes that. I know that has attracted his base to be active, but I suspect that the people who swung from him will be even more appalled by his behavior moving forward.

 

Also, he’s not gaining mental acuity or oratory skill in the next four years. That’s going to start going the other way, fast.

 

If any of you thinking those sucking up to him today will be laying down palm fronds for him for the '24 nomination - you are kidding yourselves. Maybe that's what it will take, Trump running again. Figure the Cruz, Hawley, and Rubio crew will suddenly find their spines then.

 

If Trump (or any of his current Senate sycophants) gets the 2024 nomination, Dems should run ads of black and white footage of the capitol riot while a female singer sings a slowed down, sad version of "America the Beautiful" as the background music.

Then a voiceover would say "he encouraged this" (Trump) or "he ignored this" (Senate sycophants).

 

Maybe Trump should hire Tim Matheson for his defense team

 

I guess what bugs me the most about these Rs who are "certain" acquital votes is that nobody asks them why. They're from red states sure, but does that mean throw the Constituiton out the window? That they honestly believe Trump did nothing wrong? That the "next Trump" won't be inhibited from using the same tactics? And of course, are you that afraid of the Trump mob? Do you not care about those who died in the riot? Would you be giving the same pass to a Democrat? These are questions that every No voter should be forced to answer under penalty of perjury.
