That statement holds true no matter who the GOP puts on the ticket. I'd rather it be Trump than someone like Desantis. Trump will absolutely drive high anti trump voters to the polls that may not vote if its someone else on the ticket. He is their Hillary in that regard. 

Yeah, but he'll also galvanize the folks that typically would never bother voting, as well. Personally I'd rather he just fade into oblivion. But that's just me. Hopefully he's been indicted and is on trial. And hopefully everyone whos appalled at the state of our democracy is motivated to get out and make changes.

Check out the Cornyn quote in the article:

Quote

“President Trump did a lot of good. But he squandered a lot of his legacy after what happened after Nov. 3. And I think that’s a shame,” Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), who was the GOP whip for Trump’s first two years in office, told Burgess. “Running for president, you’re under a lot of scrutiny. And all I can say is there’s a lot to talk about.”

ORLY John? Do tell. Like maybe you ought to...I don't know...stop stonewalling on the January 6th Commission? We could certainly spend some time talking about that. Shall we meet up after you've met with the mother of the late Officer Sicknick?

To be clear, my preferred outcome is he dangles running for long enough to ruin the planning stages for anyone who actually runs... and then he goes to a lengthy trial, followed by a conviction and jail time. That way, whoever the GOP candidate is, Trump is the issue, while Trump himself is wearing plastic shoes and begging for laundry duty instead of making license plates.

Some of the disgust with him and his enablers will have worn off by 2024 for sure.  So I don't think we'll see as high a voter turnout against him in 2024.  Plus we may be in an economic malaise by that point.  

However, many millions of his followers will die between now and then (3.5 years from now).  And many millions of Americans will turn 18.  

In all honesty, I have no loyalty to Biden after 2022.  I'm fully supporting his role as Custodian-in-Chief right now. Trump pissed and shit all over the school and now Biden's gotta clean it up so I'm all in on Joe while he does this messy job.  But I seriously doubt I'd vote for Biden again in 2024; certainly won't bust my ass raising money for him again.  I'd likely return to the Libertarian Party...or even reward some sane wing of the Republican Party, if they even exist, for nominating a somewhat sensible candidate in lieu of Trump (really not holding my breath on that one).  

But do not count on the fervor of 2020 to be available to tap into in order to defeat Trump in 2024.  It'll take a whole other strategy.

Obese elderly men rarely lose weight by design. Even when they want to their metabolism is so slow and their lean muscle mass diminished they need super strict caloric restriction which Trump could only stick to if you wired his jaws shut. 
 

Likely causes of his weight loss in no particular order

Cancer

Major depression

Increasing adderall intake

Progressive dementia 

Combination of two or more of the above

I don't anything on a keyboard.  If Trump is dead or under indictment, there's still a 10% chance the GOP nominates somebody sane.  And since Trump will likely be alive and only in ambiguous legal trouble, my whole scenario has a less than 1% chance of coming to fruition.  

He's saying he's going to run but he's not going to because the money he can make for the next 3.5 years commands than he says he will.  I don't blame it, it's the most elegant workout strategy in corporate America I've ever seen and I teach a class on finance workout strategies.

This.

He has 84% support in the GQP.  And I think that's understated.  There is no "Republican Party" anymore.  Not a sane wing, not an insane wing, nothing.  It's gone, erased, completely replaced by the "Trump and whatever he says" party.  

We'll be able to discuss weaknesses of the Democratic party, and push for changes to it, in 5-10 years.  Until then, there is "the party of a fucking insane cult of personality that wants to overturn democracy and install a fascist autocracy" and "the opposition party."  Fight with and for the opposition.  And stick with it until the fight is done.  With an enemy like fascism, you don't stop fighting until the enemy is dead, and you've shot and burned the corpse.

Nevermind the fact that whatever "sane" Republican that is an option would still be part of the former establishment that lead to the issues we see today, including Trump.

right now, all of Trump's yes men are telling him he looks great.  as his body continues to deteriorate, all the sycophants will be telling Fox News and OAN and Newsmax that Trump cut out all of the bad food he was eating, and he's in the gym and losing weight so he can be in better shape to fight for 'Murica in 2024.  nobody works out harder than Trump.

I don't think it's particularly impending, but I do agree that his death will come as a shock in MAGA land, because they will have been fed a continuous diet of misinformation about how the Dear Leader is healthier than any human male has ever been, why, he recently wrestled a bear and a mountain lion at the same time in the fitness room at Mar-a-Lago -- the biggest, meanest bear and mountain lion you've ever seen, right out of central casting -- and he easily vanquished them both without suffering a scratch.  Dear Leader has dozens of years left to Make America Great Again.

Right up to the day he's wheeled out of there, deader than a doornail.

Anyone remember how the Soviets used to play things when their leader fell ill?  Andropov?  Chernenko?  At most, they had a "slight cold," and were at home resting....when they'd been dead for weeks?  Yep.  Just look at what any shitty dictatorship has done, and that's what Team MAGA will do.

Loss wasn't that close, especially when compared to elections since 2000.  He lost an EC landslide and by 7 million votes.  In two elections, he's never gotten over 46%.  Legitimate worry about Republicans just not giving a fuck and openly ignoring the results.
