You know I want to believe this. Most of us who despise Trump are hoping this is the case. Many conservatives around here, like @BladeRunner, have long asserted that it is. And in truth, the Trump era in this country will never end until Republicans reject him.
Liberals fully recognize that Trump will be easier to beat than other candidates. He is still terrifying because there's always a possibility that he will win, and Trump in the White House again is, quite simply, terrifying. We know that he has no regard for laws, norms, or decency. He know that he will use the position of POTUS to do whatever he wants and whatever he feels benefits himself, without any regard to negative consequences for the country. Do you really not understand why that prospect terrifies people? It should terrify conservatives just as much as liberals.
Say what you will about the guy, but I still kinda love that he doesn't give a #### about anyone else in politics other than himself. Who in the GOP wants to run against this guy? Anyone who dares gets completely obliterated.
Agreed. I fear they’re worried about Trump’s base turning on them and will go along with Trump to try and get as many republicans in office as possible. What a disaster.
This would seriously be the first presidential election that I sit out. The fact that such a match-up is actually a real possibility makes me want to start boycotting our electoral system right now in protest.
Yes it will. He would have the best chance of unraveling Trump in a debate.Trump v. Desantis is going to be a fun watch.
What terrifies me is how little confidence libs have that they can beat someone a) they already beat and b) is weaker than before.
Why is this on the libs? How bout the Rs take care of business and put up a candidate that can put that traitor away? I'd vote for Larry Hogan, maybe even Nicky Haley--
Dems are the ones in power. Elections are usually a referendum on their performance. Incumbents always have advantage.
wut? 2020 didn't oust Trump and the GOP from power?
You seem to be conflating two very different things.
It's always the libs fault.
I am conflating nothing. Modern U.S. presidential elections are binary.
That is certainly one of the problems. The other is after the Joe disaster many of the undecideds or R’s that voted D will now likely hold their noses and vote Trump.
The real problem is we are getting the leaders we chose. This should scary the #### out of anyone paying attention.
Thanks dkp. Just as a data point, I am one of those undecideds.
Seems like most posts so far are confident that Trump would lose.
I should be too, but I have no faith either side will make a good choice so I’m assuming I’ve already decided and am voting 3rd party again.
Hold up here. Hillary Clinton was a bad candidate. It's on Dems as a whole that she was nominated. However, she also ran an exceptionally poor campaign. That's on her.
Hillary Clinton was a terrible candidate. People like me told you that she was a loser who could only hope to win by having the other guy screw up. You countered that she was the best presidential candidate since Dwight Eisenhower.
Because despite how awful he is…he still was close to winning re-election. Despite what he did on January 6th and leading up to that…there are still millions willing to support him.
If it's Biden vs Desantis, this may be the first election I sit out. If it's Biden vs Trump II, I vote anti-Trump again.
I would disagree with this part.
Biden is weaker than before as well. Who knows what happens between now and the '24 election but Biden is struggling with public perception. I really would wish there was someone being groomed to run in Biden's place.
You might be right.
I disagree. Biden could be serviceable and 40% of the country would still be acting like it's Armageddon.
