I'm putting my money on Trump becoming the Comeback King.
The Democrats had their chance and came up looking stupid with their Biden answer that was promoted as much better than Trump, but was anything but - a con by the Media as well.

So where do you all stand?
Poll away.

Another Republican Candidate - Ron DeSantis.

Every time Trump runs for President he loses the popular poll by more votes each time.

3,000,000 the first time and 7,000,000 the second.

It'll be 10,000,000 if he tries again, and that won't get him over the line for the electoral college votes.

The GOP won't risk putting him up again - he's finished.

And, Biden won't run and the Dems don't really have a candidate that could win (plus, the Republicans are doing everything they can to rig the 2024 election).

DeSantis is the last person in the world I want to see win (I'd much rather see Trump win if it's a Republican), but I can't really see any other option.

Joe Biden is about as popular as a Bondi cigar in a swimming pool.
He should be given some slippers and a dressing gown and sent
to a rest home for geriatrics.

Trump should be unelectable.

Too many Republicans will not vote for him.

Beside Putin may be too busy to run another election campaign for Trump.

He should go to prison but likely won't.

Prison V President would be an interesting bet.  Maybe 40% V 15%

It won't be Trump that's for sure.

Nobody wants Trump especially the Republicans.

The Longer that Trump stays on the scene the longer it will be till the republicans can be relevant again.

He'll do the honourable thing and refuse to nominate.

It's definitely going to be a Republican. Trump or DeSantis. I'm looking forward to seeing DeSantis being the next President of the USA.

They say that DeSantis's biggest mistake isn't that he went to Cancun but that he came back.

And everyone was talking about Hitler in 1939.

If a Republican wins, it won't be Trump - he's finished.

It'll be DeSantis.

And that's bad, because he's as evil & immoral as Trump but only half as stupid.

If it has to be a Republican, I'd much rather see it be Donald J. Trump.

Pretty bloody impressive credentials. And unlike old age demented Biden...DeSantis is Gen X (and Italian 😎)

DeSantis is a concern as he is a mini me of Trump who may actually be smart enough to run a successful insurrection.

You could say he is flexible but in his case it comes from having no spine.

Do the US really want another President who is going to follow the sun with a beach holiday when there is a cold emergency at home and people are dying because of his own incompetence or worse. ?

They still couldn't stop talking about him after he was President.
And now they still can't stop thinking about Trump.

See. You're a hypocritical racist. Your Media narrative doesn't include red-haired males does it? Racism?
Only Media 'inclusive' races and sex are only allowed to play President apparently.
Well guess what, the Media isn't Politics.

I don't see him changing his ways this late in life - he'll do the honourable thing.

Right now it seems like the Democrats are likely to gain seats in the Senate, but the House could be up for grabs, mostly due to gerrymandered redistricting which always happens once a decade. With more state legislatures under Republican control, you can guess who the gerrymandering favored. Fortunately most of those are smaller states, so they don't have as many house seats up for grabs. (Wyoming, for example... which just traded Liz Cheney in for a full blown MAGAtt... only has one House seat for the entire state)

Given how unstable the US democracy is at the moment it's much more important to win the senate so it does not matter if ol' orange F A T T Y runs or not.

As far as judicial appointments go, that too is more important than ol' orange F A T T Y.. As far as any legislation being passed... all that stuff that passed the House and died in the Senate over the last few years would remain dead if the House flipped over to Joe... er.... Kevin McCarthy and a bunch of teabaggers & MAGAtts running the committees.

As much as I hate "single issue" elections, the right wing dumbasses on the Extreme Court pretty much handed the corporate media the basis for the "it's all about abortion" narrative. Which admittedly is at least a valid issue as opposed to their previous narrative of "sure we suck ass, but we still suck less ass than Trump".

So if that brings voters to the polls who might otherwise skip a mid term election, so be it.... I'll just hope these voters also care about the other important issues like climate change, getting corporate money out of politics, and tearing down this global predatory capitalism before we all go bankrupt at the grocery store and/or gas station.

I agree with that. Overturning Roe v wade was the democrats wet dream. It had almost guaranteed them the midterms.

The Democrats most likely still lose the senate just not by so much.

The Dems still have no real plan to deal with Roe V Wade except to continue to milk it for votes.

Until they can replace some of the judges, I'm not sure there is much they can do.  Not unless they want to try for another amendment to the constitution ... which they bloody well should.

Seeing him lose again will be the highlight of the year.


September 4, 2022:

"Last week, the weirdo — he's a weirdo — Mark Zuckerberg came to the White House, kissed my ass all night," Trump said during the speech, going on to mimic their alleged conversation: "'Sir, I'd love to have dinner, sir. I'd love to have dinner. I'd love to bring my lovely wife.' All right, Mark, come on in. 'Sir, you're number one on Facebook. I'd like to congratulate you.' Thank you very much, Mark. I appreciate it."

Both Fuhrers, Greggery, it's best we get our terms correct.

I don't think Hitler ever allegedly raped a 13 year old though, so yes, there's a clear difference between these two Alphas.

Lisa is technically correct on that point.

Yep, agree with what you say about Biden - he won't run.

I think Pete Buttigieg would be the front runner for the Dems, and the only one in the race for the Republican nomination is DeSantis (if the orange douchebag doesn't run).

But I really do hope Mango Mussolini puts his little hand up - it would be so good to watch him lose again.
