Will DJT make it to the '26 election?

[Muse]

If the GOP fucks in the senate wouldn't boot him for staging a coup they're not going to boot him for minor things like child rape, invading US cities, suspension of the first amendment, kidnapping good people and sending them to concentration camps, levying taxes on the people without congressional approval, murdering fishermen, creating a parallel Schutzstaffel to our military, and such.

Never EVER vote for a Republican.

 

[WilliamM2]

What are you talking about now? Obama is at 68 for initial approval which is super high.

But I'm also not sure why you would fixate on the start of his term, rather than what's it's fallen to after all the nonsense since then.

But again, he still has a committed base, and combine that with election rigging, and it seems dangerous for continued GOP election wins while he's pulling strings.

I read it wrong, so he has the lowest rating ever. And I focused on the start of his term, because this IS the start of his term. It can only get worse.

 

[mikeymikec]

Unless they pull shenanigans he couldn't run again anyway.

Who's going to stop them running him again?

 

[Pens1566]

Regardless of any approval poll/category, he's got a floor of somewhere in the 44-46% neighborhood when it comes to an actual election where people go to the polls. Not saying he's running again (not saying he won't either), but whoever takes over the mantle will also be in that range unless they're someone drastically different. Which I can't imagine being the case for quite some time considering how much the party has become an extension of the Trump Org/crime family.

I really don't think the GOP has another cult leader in the bullpen who can do what Trump does. He has been manipulating his image in the media for nearly 50 years and he's the best I have ever seen at it. This is a failson who blew all of daddy's money and bankrupted a casino that should have printed money for its owner yet for 40 years he has been the canonical image of the successful rich American businessman. Before becoming Dementia Don over the last couple of years he was pretty charismatic and even funny as much as I fucking hated him. But I think a lot of people still think of him as the genius businessman he has built himself to be in the media for the last 50 years. You're not getting that with Vance, Hawley, Rubio, or any of the younger righties in DC and none of the nation's other oligarchs is going to capture the public like that (e.g. Bloomberg who has all the personality of a wet blanket). I expect once Trump is gone, probably of old age, whoever succeeds him will have his regime toppled.

I agree with your point that there isn't a similar successor. The scary part is that I'm not sure they need that in order to keep things rolling now that the monster (deplorable base) has been unleashed.

I don’t know, the MAGAtards probably won’t religiously support the next person. But RINOs like Liz Cheney would still support a Vance, Cruz or Rubio. Well if the orange monkey insists it’s one of his kids, then Dems have it in the bag and get supermajorities to erase this orange shit stain

Without the cult leader people will start blaming DC for being broke, starving, and their lives being shitty and I think you'll start seeing massive riots and the successor regime toppled.

[nakedfrog]

I didn't mean that. I'm talking if the Dems can take the house and senate in 2026, he will be gone. Impeached.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Who's going to stop them running him again?

Didn't say they wouldn't, just that it requires shenanigans.

 

[mikeymikec]

Didn't say they wouldn't, just that it requires shenanigans.

He should have been barred from running in the 2024 election because he committed insurrection, but at the end of the day, the rules require that someone enforce them, and no-one did. "Shenanigans" suggest that someone had to go out of their way to ensure that he gets to run, and it's not true in either case.

My gut tells me that without dear leader they will eat each other..

Well, I don't agree with regards to a 2028 run, given the constitutional amendment against it. I know he would not intend to leave peacefully, but it's a very clear violation if he does attempt to remain in office by running again (which is not to say he wouldn't attempt other means to remain), and IMO would require shenanigans in order to pass muster. There were in fact already shenanigans in 2024, if you'll recall, with some states attempting to keep him off the ballot because of the exact issue you raise. SCOTUS did go out of their way to make sure he'd be on the ballot.

Remember he said, if he wins in 2024, you won't need to vote again... So I guess he won't need to run again, if there is no more voting...

If you think MAGA went batshit crazy when Charlie Kirk died, just wait until Trump dies.

Liz Cheney will not side with Vance, Cruz or Rubio. Why should she? I'm not getting any vibe that any of Trump's kids can carry the old man's mantel of perpetual misery forward.

 

[trenchfoot]

The corporate owned SCOTUS will probably attempt, with some serious pushing from their oligarch buddies, to find a way to get a thoroughly decrepit demented Trump the ability to run for a third term under some national security ruse, up to and including having a very conveniently timed war with some third world nation. Most likely Venezuela seeing as if Trump has Maduro primed for it, or some other contrived "national disaster" to have the nation rally around their perpetually victimized Liar-in-Chief.

Yea, made that mistake once when I first arrived in Chicago and was bent on destroying the Dem machine (memories from the past). Jim Thompson who I voted for Governor in Il, ended up in jail eventually.

Because she supported 95% of his policies in the first term. It took an insurrection for her to change her mind

I don't see an "I hope not" poll option.

The fastest way to do that is to get rid of the dark money and corporate contributions.

The media (moguls)mongrels capitulation to the liars and propaganda pushers is a crime in itself!

Well, she sure changed her mind. I can't imagine her endorsing or supporting Vance, Cruz, Rubio, Hawley, Gaetz, any of the miscreants. I have no idea what she's doing with her life right now but figure she wouldn't want to be a functionary in the R party.
