Trump was also viewed as more moderate than the rest of the gop field in 2016. He kept promising things like cheap healthcare for all etc.

Not sure any of the other gop ghouls could pull that off in 2024.

Yea Trunp actually put forth policies intended to be improve the economic status of his frothing chud base (sure it was all bullshit but compare it to Ted Cruz who wouldn’t shut the gently caress up about how a trans person might use the stall next to you at an Applebee’s bathroom), now the GOP is running only giving white people an outlet to express their anger.

Which normally wouldn’t be enough to make any serious electoral gains but they can supplement it with some fresh hot voter suppression

a lot of people in the mid-2010s predicted that nobody could be a politician in the age of social media because it'd be too easy to dig up old dirt on your Facebook wall, but it turned out to only apply to racist stuff, and even then not really

It feels like the opposite because everyone has at least 1 tweet or Facebook post they regret and hope everyone just forgot about it so you’re more likely to empathize

Like with job interviews,As more millennials get into positions of power they’re not going to disqualify a candidate cause they have a picture of them doing a keg stand 5 years ago

it is literally impossible to say if trump will run in 24 because on the one hand he hates work and really just needs attention. on the other hand as becomes increasingly irrelevant his need for that fix could cause him to run again

my theory is he starts doing his old campaign style rallies, and real campaign metastasizes around him in the sloppiest way possible

maybe his plan is to stall all the tax cheat investigations against him for 4 years and then in 2025, oops, cant indict a sitting president! t

I think trump endorsing a toe tag in NC for senate is a sign that internal might be pretty weird there, especially since Lara Trump or Mark Meadows are both logical choices and neither wanted it.

very surprised that Lara Trump passed because that seat was basically hers if she wanted it.

but i guess she'd rather commit to full time grifting and that's understandable

the only republicans in the house right now with enough name recognition among fox watchers to go anywhere running for president are greene, dan crenshaw, lauren boebert, and matt gaetz, in that order.

Dan Crenshaw is definitely eyeing a presidential run

Greene is certainly crazy enough to run for the GOP nomination but i dont think she has the charisma to go the distance

Jr could easily run and win in some upstate New York hellhole district if he's actually interested but I think he's just a dilettante who enjoyed sycophants sucking up to him because his dad was president. 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’ve heard juniors name floated around for the open PA senate seat which I fully support if John fetterman would give him a swirlie during the debate

Depends on how incompetent the PA State GOP is but my guess is that there's some local psycho who's already got their eye on the run.

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.

is the gop still doing winner take all primary races? thats going to keep things interesting if someone pulls out early

Iirc the gop has a mix of WTA, proportional states, some that award based on congressional district. It’s a total clusterfuck but less inherently rigged then the democratic version because the republicans don’t have super delegates

yeah not enough attention gets paid to this

there's been a steady shift of rich suburban voters over to the dems but the gop hasn't paid a real price for it yet, outside of losing the house. the dereg poo poo is basically primed to keep this group loyal and it really doesn't seem to be working

it's not hard to see that if the gop nominates someone other than trump in 2024 that even desantis doesn't bring back enough to avoid a loss on par with mccain in 2008

yea the suburbs are very reliably turning blue as the old guard GOP die off, and younger voters move out of cities. If republicans wanted to win back the suburbs they'd need to 1) support gun control and 2) turn the racism and bigotry dial back down to being more subtle

but they aren't willing to do that so they're relying on rural voters and peeling off just enough city and suburban chuds to let them win states with large population centers, and energizing fresh new chuds who maybe didn't vote except when trump was on the ballot

whether it will be enough for them in 22 and 24, who knows?

PA registered like 5 times as many new republicans as democrats over the past few years. The GOP flipped 2 statewide races last year and the extremely popular AG only won by a few points against a complete nobody.

a primary debate where everyone is trying to say they agree with trump the hardest

Literally they can’t even run, they have to take a backseat.

The only ones that can run against trump are your “moderate republicans” so if someone wants to take a stab at it and run as a mitt Romney or John Kasich type, we’ll just see how well that goes (they’ll get a quarter of the vote in a 2 way race if lucky)

I was trying to think of who fill the Kasich lane and yep, Larry Hogan.

He very much wants to be president but he probably should have ran in like 1992.
