0%. A third Trump campaign would let the democrats run anyone and they would still get a ton of money from donations. If they ran Obama, they might actually win, and that would be bad.
The parliamentarian will say Obama specifically cannot run for a third term, and the democrats will roll over and display their vulnerable belly in a display of trust
I don’t even think it will get that far. Decorum™ and civility™ will get in the way.
Anything is possible; I don’t think the Dems want a winning candidate anymore. They did their job well and delivered results to the money masters. They want to retire quietly without getting themselves on a hit list, jmo.
Zero
Democrats:
Bush/Cheney 2028
Lmao
There were a few Democrats that actually wanted Mitt Romney because he could “unite the nation”.
Considering some people apparently like Liz Cheney because of her vocal opposition to Trump, I would not put it past a kind of Cheney ticket being attempted.
He retired as a president in a positive light (according to the libs at least) and has been doing talks for fun ever since, raking in money. Unless he actually fell on his head he would be mad to return to such a shit show.
Considerably less than the chances Hillary Clinton runs again
Imagine both Trump and Hillary dying during the election.
Imagine both Trump and Hillary dying
Oh, I do…
How tf would Trump run for a 3rd term, he is already the oldest president ever on inauguration and will ve the oldest when his term ends, i think they will need a replacement. maybe the propaganda will shuft towards another person some time during this term to create a new personality cult
Golden throne, thousands of psykers sacrificed to keep the Emperor alive, etc etc
Who’d be Trump’s Guilliman?
Feels like they are making attempts with Vance. He’s one of the most public VPs in a long time, particularly public alongside Trump in various showcases like the Zelensky dress down.
I don’t think Vance has the sauce without trump holding his hand.
Every Vader was an Anakin once.
He’s already blew his sympathy chip with that shitty book. The least he’s going to have to do in order to get more attention is get a wound like Dan Crenshaw.
I still think trump is going to dump his ass though. Look at how Pence is a #resistance hero now because he crossed trump
Absolutely zero. He’s already got his golden ticket. And why would he want to tarnish his legacy of being the democrat’s high water mark taking over this shit show?
Also there’s no way he’d risk losing which he probably would.
he was the only democrat that successfully pulled away leftist 3rd party votes both times he ran.
i bet he’d have a good chance if he pays even more lip service than before.
I’m still in the “elections are over” camp.
I’ll be surprised if the midterms even happen.
They’re already over in the “Mister Smith goes to Washington” sense. I don’t ever see anyone getting to the top without being grown in a vat at the DNCC, or sacrificing all of their principles like we are about to see Whitmer do.
There will never be a representative election again, and I don’t think there has been one on a national level probably ever. The political machine has been in motion for far too long to let some random upstart change anything.
Most political change has come from grassroots movements anyway
Right, but I think they’ll cancel the pageant of voting too. They’ll say they need to suspend elections for national security or because of suspected voter fraud or due to foreign interference or due to whatever crisis they created.
Elections are pointless and I don’t see this new revanchist right seeing a reason to keep them going.
There’s the old saying: “if voting actually did anything, they would make it illegal”
I don’t necessarily disagree with you though. I find it interesting that we had an election in the middle of a civil war. I don’t see that happening today.
I wonder how people would react to suspended elections. If it was liberals suspending elections, there would be a double January 6th type event. Libs let the parliamentarian tell them no and nothing happens because of civility™. I haven’t had representation my whole life, so I don’t think I’ll notice a difference.
There’s the old saying: “if voting actually did anything, they would make it illegal”
I kind of hate that saying, because for a lot of people voting literally is illegal.
I wonder how people would react to suspended elections.
Liberals will scream “how dare you sir!” and then do nothing.
I hope normal people will actually be agitated to action, though.
Why
Because otherwise Trump’s party will have to deal with backlash from crashing the economy/overseeing a bird flu pandemic/starting WW3. I think they’ll just decide to not have elections and Democrats will let them.
