    If he loses this election are you expecting him to not run in 28 or are you expecting his poor lifestyle choice to have him taking a dirt nap by then? I don’t really see him stepping aside for as long as he breathes and has legal trouble he can ameliorate by being in office.

      I’m expecting the GOP to oust him for being no longer able to hide the fact that he is a weak incompetent loser and him drowning in more court cases and being even more unhinged and worse off than Biden before he dropped out.

      But you’re right, he’ll probably still throw his name in during the primary. I don’t think he’ll be in the general though.

        The GOP doesn’t have the ability to oust Trump. He’s completely taken over the party apparatus - his daughter-in-law became the co-chair this year and the chair is a loyalist. He has enough support from his base to win any primary.

        The only way he’s not the GOP nominee in 2028 is if he dies or is in too poor health to do his rallies.

          At the end of the day, its a team sport for them. Even hardcore football fans will turn on a shitty quarterback, and Trump’s shittyness will be on full display if it becomes apparent he’s all talk and actually dragging down the GOPs chances of winning general elections. But I guess I’m getting ahead of myself, 2024 is all that matters right now.

      If he loses this election I expect him to be either in jail, in Russia, or in an urn by the time the next election comes.

        If he loses this one why would Russia bother to support him? They already got whatever Intel he personally had at this point, they could just cut their losses (which historically does include defenestration).

          Because Putin would love to host a “ruler-in-exile” of any Western country, even if the claim is totally made up. Trump has a political movement behind him and all he needs to do is post on social media to get his acolytes to do all sorts of stuff. Putin would still find that valuable.
