Opinion Trump's health, should JD get ready?

[Darkavius]

Nah. Most of what fuels Republicans is hatred for the left. Same is true on the other side as well, which is why Kamala Harris still got 73 or so million votes, despite being about as popular as eye snot.

But the thing about your point is just hating the other side cannot be the only factor. The actual candidate matters. It's why Dems ran Kamala last time because they knew running Biden was never going to work. Repubs could have worked to find someone other than Trump to run in 2024 but they decided against it because candidates matter, and Repubs had no one with the same likability has Trump.

have you read sherdog, twitter and reddit?
they sure are pretending well if that's not the case.

I don't spend much time on twitter and reddit, but I have been on Sherdog for over 25 years. People talk shit and try and invoke reactions all the time, I don't really take it all that seriously and I'd probably be down for going for a beer/pint with most people in the War Room.

Who in the fuck does his make up, he looks like a reverse racoon

Hands still painted as well

Trump still rocking that neck vagina. The fat folds on Trump's neck, 6/10 wood bang.

So trump makes fun of a political attack on Paul Pelosi that was attempted murder with a hammer and his base laughed. It’s on tape.

Trump is potentially sick, and people are wishing he dies, and his base are offended? Like I said. Trump and his base need to fuck off and sit this one out. Can’t have it both ways.

People who have none:
Where is the decorum!

 

[Limbo Pete]

Haha, sadly you’re right. I still think the presidency at least changes parties again, unless the dems fumble around and fuck it up, which is a distinct possibility of course. Not sure about congress in mid-terms and in the general, I haven’t looked at the seats yet.

Definitely a big concern when it comes to governing. I foresee many a lawsuit and scotus ruling.

Problem is we could take back the presidency and house/senate and the SC will still hose us

If Biden still is walking around and today isn't worse than Trump condition then why Trump can't continue till 2028 th.
He had told that he is younger than Biden and isn't senile.
Therefore should continue.

Gotta love those lifetime appointments. If congress had balls they could still check the scotus. They don't, and won't.

Imma be honest, JD Vance is more sinister than Trump is some ways. In his book, Hillbilly Elegy, he highlights a lot of character which demonstrates that he knows better than to associate with figures like Trump, he is in it to cement authoritarian power.

Yes. Vance is even more senile.

I think what stuff might be if in 2028 th Vance will be POTUS and Trump still alive and will be House Speaker? Why not to discuss?

They didn't decide not choosing someone other than Trump. They ran a primary, and the people decided. Much different than what happened on the other side.

As to your point that candidates matter, they definitely do to the extent of getting the relatively small pool of independents to carry them over the finish line. They definitely need that extra something to push them over the top. In general though, most will vote along party lines no matter what. It's not like Republican support for the next candidate will all of sudden crater because it's not Trump. As long as the other side is perceived as far worse, and the candidate doesn't radically change the messaging that the base likes, the people will show up. Also, as long as Trump is around, he'll be the one giving the big endorsements, much like Obama does on the left. If not him, his family. That influence doesn't get wiped from the board when he leaves.

You're right in that disdain for the other side isn't the only factor, but it's the most significant one, because when the largest "blue no matter who/Red or dead" portion of your base stops hating the other side, you got big problems that no candidate can overcome.

Not this SCOTUS. The only check is a credible, plausible threat of removal. Keep in mind they are poised to give themselves the power to functionally rewrite constitutional amendments

I think Trump will be till 2028 th if will not die earlier.
If he will be alive in 2028 th , then will get some another position.

Now there are modern meds and so on, Putin too is old and nothing wrong, Lukashenko too .... everything is cool...older means more experience.

Vance would likely not win an election as the main candidate for POTUS. He is too quirky and awkward in the spotlight.

Well, that is a check. Also packing the court, or, hey, how fun would it be if they reduced their salaries to like 20k a year? I get what you're saying, but congress still makes laws and controls the money. They could make life hell for an insanely partisan and self interested scotus, and absolutely go to battle if they really wanted to. None of this is remotely possible based on the reality of our divided government, though, so in the end you're right.

 

[HARRISON_3]

The issue with what you are saying above is do any Republicans post MAGA have any kind of confidence and charisma that Trump has to lead the base? I know this is a terrible analogy but right now Republicans have what some consider this generation's Nick Saban or Bill Belichick. There's no way but an extreme drop off post Trump for Republicans I would think. He has basically been their leader for a decade now.

He’s the Travis Lutter of republican politics.

But that's just it: SC is subsuming the legislative process. And if they rule how it seems they will on birthright citizenship, then there is truly no element of the constitution they are bound to respect. Anything could be declared unconstitutional, including checks on themselves

The fact that Americans ever voted for someone with such a godawful spay-on tan is a harbinger of this country's imminent and well deserved demise. No, I will not elaborate further.
