Brave of you to assume the average American possesses the critical thinking skills needed to analyze that information. In reality, most will just think “Biden = president, forgiveness = blocked, therefore Biden is at fault. #MAGA”

Ok so 43% of voters minimum will be pulling the lever for Trump.  Who the fuck are they and how can they possibly do that?  Here’s my guess:

3% of voters are single issue sexists; they simply will not vote for a woman for president

5% of voters a truly reprehensible human beings.  They’re racist, sexist, classist pieces of shit.

7% of voters are single issue anti-abortion voters.

9% of voters are completely ignorant of where either candidate stands on any given issue; they know absolutely nothing and really couldn’t give you a reason why they vote the way they do; this number may be shocking but I would bet it’s actually much higher

9% of voters are single issue personal income tax voters (many of them are misinformed on how each candidate will actually impact their own income tax bill)

10% of voters are single issue racist voters; they vote for the candidate they think will prioritize white interests over the interests of non-whites


Those numbers I pulled out of my ass but I’d be interested in how the board thinks it breaks down or what data/research actually shows.

Check out Jon Stewart's piece on his supporters from earlier this week. It is genuinely a cult, a very large percentage of them have created an alternate Trump in their head that they believe supports things he explicitly does not support. 

This is the end result of social media algorithms and a major news network lying and covering up reality with impunity.

While I agree, and he could say 2020 was stolen from him, but if he loses to a black woman? 2 straight losses to sleepy Joe and Comrade Harris? He’s cooked. You will see the knives come out from the ones who want to run - Cruz, Vance, Haley, etc 

Until they and their families start receiving death threats from Trump’s goons and they’ll fall right back in line like Lindsey Graham.

You can’t think of it like a political party. It’s a cult.

Student loan forgiveness also does nothing to address rising tuition costs for current and future college students. 

It's a fucking racket between the banks who own Congress and the colleges and universities. We can make tuition anything we want it to be and you, my friend, can borrow to come here.

It's criminal. I graduated Texas with no debt because it wasn't expensive to attend here once you got in.

You’d think the GOP nominee’s wife coming out as full on pro choice would be a bigger deal.  Welp, throw it on the pile.
 

Performative BS. I don’t think they would let her put that out without full approval from Team Trump.

This is 100% spot on.

I will add that skyrocketing tuition is the morally bankrupt legacy of:

-- the mostly liberal Boomers running the universities the past 25-30 years and building up layer upon layer of highly paid bureaucracy (however good the intentions)... far out-pacing the hiring of actual faculty. 

-- and the mostly conservative Boomers-GenXers who are anti-intellectual politicians who hate/envy/sneer at higher ed, don't want to fully fund it ... and want to penalize those who desire to attend college. (Like those poor women who can't get an abortion and are forced to give birth and then get no financial help from the govt.)

Plus, college campuses now must have lots of bells, whistles, and cool media things to attract the screen-worshipping student born into consumer, entertainment, book-free society.

Agree! Melania coming out saying she's for woman's rights is just another way to make people think, "if she is, maybe he is. I'll vote for him." Same goes for him saying he will not sign a national abortion ban bill. Once that piece of shit Trump gets elected, he'll do whatever he wants, it's all a con, ever damn bit of it.

Yep. This is an old R trick. Laura Bush and Cindy McCain did it, too. "Hey, I'm pro choice, so don't be scared to vote for my husband." 

(And I apologize for putting the Bushes and McCains in the same post as these shit stain Trumps.)

Trump controls the MAGA mob, he isn't going anywhere. The GOP will have to live with Trump.

It's like when that Sports Store owner handed over control to Tony in the Sopranos.

trump is making more money than he’s ever made before for doing little to nothing. he’s an R institution until his last breath. old guard R’s will move quick after his death to get control back of the check book

his two dumb ass sons will run a huge scam to find the trump library. they’ll end up in jail over the deal. calling it now

I keep saying this.  If he's alive in '28, he'll run and likely win the nomination.

THEY. DON'T. HAVE. A CHOICE.

This.

If the BMDs are thinking they can get away with turning their back on the Lord God Trump....they are fucking WRONG.  That is the path to losing a necessary chunk of voters.  They cannot win shit nationally without rabid MAGAs showing up.  They have to suck Trump's dick, or they will lose those voters.

The GQP is all-Trump, all-MAGA until he dies....and probably after.  Because it needs the cultists.

The BMDs can send their money to other candidates/PACs and let MAGA try to keep the RNC afloat.

The BMDs are not going to back him trying to lose for a third time in a row.

I really don't think she gives a shit about the campaign, else she would be on the trail with Trump, and she wouldn't be receiving $237,500 to speak at a pro-Trump event.

This is putting the cart before the horse, but I have fantasies of a geriatric and weakened Trump running again in ‘28 and delaying the reconciliation with reality the Republicans need to have to reorganize themselves around winning policy.  
 

‘32 is marked by a race to the bottom by terminal shitbags like JD Vance and Ted Cruz as they fight it out to see who can charm/fool the greatest number of Trump low information voters (at least the portion that haven’t Darwin’d themselves between now and then).  
 

Finally, in ‘36 we have a second term Buttigieg with enough political capital to finally reform the Supreme Court.

Wait, if Trump loses this year, people think 82 year old, even more senile Trump is going to be the candidate in 2028? That’s not going to happen though in a strange way, I’m sure the DNC would love it. Almost a guaranteed victory unless the Harris administration is a total disaster. 

It’s Haley in ‘28 and I don’t think I there’s a close 2nd.

He'll still maintain a cult like hold on the core 40% of that party.

Yes, he'll run.  Yes, he'll win.  He'll fun for no other reason than he needs the money.

He lost in '20, led an insurrection in an attempt to stay in office, was impeached twice, and has 34 felony counts on him at the moment, and yet, here we are.

The GOP was fully consumed by the Trump Organization.  And you think the GOP is gonna allow Haley to have the nomination in '28?

Not sure if he’ll run but he’ll decide who the nominee is. They’re tied to him until he dies. 

 

This.  It will be a real-life Apprentice series with Cruz, etc all trekking to Mar-A-Lago and seeing who can kiss Trump's ass the best to get the nod.   There will be contests, "teams", "challenges", and the like.   

Trump will have his scientists working on how to best monetize the process.
