Ya it's this. She very clearly doesn't have the "it." Trump is an under-educated moron, but he is savvy and has a sense where the wind blows. He may convince himself to believe bullshit, but he's capable of some level of risk assessment. MTG is a dyed-in-the-wool moron and actually believes the things she's saying. Whoever said she was Sarah Palin is spot on.

When it comes down to it, he has the work ethic of a rich failson and would rather sit on his rear end and wait for Donnie to croak so he can knife his siblings over the money.

I have a very strong feeling that Trump is leveraged up to his eyeballs and all his LLCs are so one-sided that a substantial portion of any value will go towards settling debts before cashing out is even possible.

When it comes to media manipulation, self-preservation, embezzlement, branding, maintaining power he's very very smart. Yeah this. It really is telling watching him stumble his way through such an easy softball question of something like, why do you think abe lincoln was a good president? “Well,” Trump said, “I think Lincoln succeeded for numerous reasons. He was a man who was of great intelligence, which most presidents would be. But he was a man of great intelligence, but he was also a man that did something that was a very vital thing to do at that time. Ten years before or 20 years before, what he was doing would never have even been thought possible. So he did something that was a very important thing to do, and especially at that time.” And then he started to ramble about Richard Nixon. lol. otoh he realizes that nothing matters and he never has to give details about anything he is talking about. Hence why all of his answer sound exactly like this mushbrained jumble of words. And he is really good at leveraging this and his wealth and power in general. Plus he's a great showman.

Embracing socialism and alcohol made the Trump years a lot more bearable. Socialism because it provided context and explained what had happened and why. And alcohol because getting baked and blasted and posting in the Trump thread kept me from going completely insane.

We’ve already got a few clowns throwing their hat in the ring for senate and governor. They’re both winnable races for the republicans but probably not by the ones that have declared. Plus if Josh Shapiro declares (and crushes the primary with his bottomless sack of campaign money) as I expect he will, the dems will have strong candidates for both races.

TrixRabbi posted:absolutely expecting Trump to run again but lol if he decides to not actually run but instead just does some sorta weird pseudo-campaign tour where he's doing rallies every day but not actually on the ballot while 20 idiots all attempt to secure the actual nomination. Trump wins in the write-in. Trump's default position is to publicly dither about whether he's going to run or not. He's absolutely guaranteed to do that again in 2024 unless the cholesterol gets him first. Republican candidates in 2020 are going to be a mixture of business republicans desperately trying to right the ship, grifters selling their latest book and people like MTG and Gaetz trying to suck up to Trump voters without actually trashing Trump. It's going to be glorious.

Remember when Jr went to meet with the russians and asked them for help, and they said no but maybe you could do something for us? Then Jr reported back to his dad that the russians couldn't help even though it was the most transparent request for a reciprocal favor ever? Yeah as soon as dad dies he's going to lose everything to the nearest wallet inspector and then cry when everyone laughs at him.

Wow I'm a little behind the times on Matt Gaetz saying he will run if Trump doesn't. If Trump doesn't run it sure is going to be something as most of the Republican nominees attempt to out Trump each other. Don Jr. is dumb as hell and has negative charisma, he will do nothing more than be an embarrassment to the Trump name as long as he lives.

I don't think we'll see a "Trump but Smart and Full Fash" candidate in 2024. It's too early in The Collapse for that. You'll have 3 types of candidates in 2024 if Trump isn't running: 1) "We need to move past Trump, restore sanity" RINOs, maybe Romney and someone else, who are promptly humiliated on the debate stage despite millions of dollars from finance capital hedging. 2) Trumpist Grifters -- media figures, MTG, Gaetz other randos who try an fail to capture Trump Magic 3) Your mainline Republican shitheads, e.g. Ted Cruz, Rubio, Tom Cotton, Hawley, who promise to turn the heat up on China and talk about how Biden sucked, spending too much, cut and run etc etc KaptainKrunk has issued a correction as of 00:10 on Jun 30, 2021 |

DeSantis is interesting, in that he seems to have better political instincts than most of the other hopefuls. He went full covid denial early and stuck to it, so he's got solid chud bonafides, while not really pissing off the big business side either. I'm expecting him to do a "I'm running if Trump isn't but I'll step aside if he is" kinda deal while Trump soaks up the "will he / won't he" attention.

He comes off as a dweeby professional lawyer type just as much as fellow competent fascists Cotton and Hawley. If chuds can’t picture their candidate leading a convoy of pickup trucks filled with armed patriots to lay waste to a blue city then they simply won’t play ball.
