Maybe we should just elect Trump president... again?

it's official: Trump 2024
NPR didn’t hold any punches with this headline

BREAKING: Donald Trump, who tried to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election and inspired a deadly riot at the Capitol in a desperate attempt to keep himself in power, has filed to run for president again in 2024.
I thought he wasn’t going to do it cause of weather? He just changed the location?

Well ….he is the Republican party’s problem now but he may be our problem later

That's what happens when you get your news from Kosmo. It wasn't clear from K's post whose hair was being talked about, so I googled it.

It's just appalling that this guy announces his candidacy before the arrests of him or any of his inner circle.

pretty much the point
now he's got leverage to get the maga incited to riot if he's indicted

loses the pop vote twice
loses the house and the senate
fumbles a mid term so badly pretty much they are surrounding him with daggers for his Cesar moment

but he's got a base that are willing to die for him, for reals

we're screwed

Leaving Mar-a-Lago, failed congressman Madison Cawthorn lectures Rs who won’t get behind his hero: “I will follow this man until the day I die. This man has bled for us, fought for us. I want a president who people are terrified of, who’s gonna push people out of the way.”

got a new hip look going on too?!
the blond makes him less recognizable…I didn't add the drugs comment
the amazing thing about douchebags is that no matter how awful they are, they always find s a way of being douchier.
This man has bled for us, fought for us.

That was actually his archenemy, John McCain.

Guys, we can really stop talking about me at GwarBQ.
Seems like Trump has lost Vlad's support.

I think he is playing more to independents lately…see also regarding abortion

He knows he needs more than his base so it’s a constant balancing act between giving his base red meat and trying to appeal to those outside his base

If you really think about it that’s what he is saying: “I was told I would win if I drove my base totals up in 2020 and I did that by millions…still wasn’t enough so I need to keep those votes and add independents “

When he talks to his base say at rallies he will go back to saying the election was stolen…

At least that’s what I think is going on….

It’s looking like a very tight election
It's called "growth", people!

I went to my dr and he said get that growth removed
He didn't even need to send it in to get a biopsy, he said he'd bet his license it was malignant

yeah that july 21 and DNC bump seems to be fading
although trump still seems to be polling worse than his mid July numbers
but harris's lead in the battel ground states is shrinking
I anticipate October surprises to be off the hook this year and not looking forward to that

I still struggle with the thought that nearly half of the electorate has no issue supporting this man, in fact they think they are 'saving the country' 

President Camacho 2024!
Both sides of America- civilization and barbarism- are really dug in….even after this election it’s doubtful the president will have control of Congress. Trump would be more likely to have control by a razor thin majority in both houses.Its maddening.

well don't think the GOP will have 66 votes to overturn a filibuster would be why it could stop crazy bills from seeing his pen
He can just rule through executive decrees….
