Trump has already secured the Republican Party's nomination for 2024

[ck4829]

I, however, am not resigned to him becoming president-elect in 2024.

But if you don't want this to appear in the news in early 2025...

President Trump and Speaker Greene move to freeze assets of mass shooting survivors and family members of the victims, claiming they are paid "crisis actors" working for George Soros

I suggest claiming complacency to be a cardinal sin, reject the idea of sitting this one out, and as for "keeping the powder dry"? Not going to do that.

And you might want to learn to fight a little dirty too.

1. Personally I think he will run Ivanka for President instead.

And have her pardon him.

[Turin_C3PO]

2. I won't ever be complacent

but I don’t think there’s a chance in hell he’d win the presidency again. He might be the Repub nominee but most Americans are done with him.

[Wounded Bear]

3. Meh. Tomorrow's battle...more worried about 2022...

got to keep the momentum going. The 2018 wave needs to be nurtured.

[dutch777]

9. Exactly! And we need to get a lot done this year to have solid record of progress for 2022

[Wounded Bear]

11. Indeed! Ram the Biden Rescue Package through, get some other shit done...

and then run on the successes. Don't do like the ACA and run away from it.

[dutch777]

14. Right on!

[rickyhall]

4. I'm still pulling for stroke.

[42bambi]

6. And not in regards to a golf term.

[Wounded Bear]

12. Well I wouldn't mind if Trump had several strokes...

[TwilightZone]

5. Disagree.

The only reason he won in 2016 was that there were too many candidates in for too long. Had the GOP rallied behind one candidate early (as we did in 2020), no Trump. They won't let that happen again.

His approval ratings are tanking, including among Republicans. As more comes out about the insurrection and his involvement, they will continue to drop and all but the diehards will bail on him and move on to the next shiny object. That doesn't even touch on the coming civil and (likely) criminal cases.

From the GOP's standpoint, today was the best of both worlds. They got to shirk responsibility, thus not incurring the wrath of Trump's most fervent wackos (and Trump himself), and they protected their jobs and the party. They'll now directly and indirectly support prosecution, hoping that someone nails his ass. If that doesn't work, they'll do whatever else they can to cut him off at the knees.

17. I kinda think today's vote to acquit

wasn't a gift so much as a "now shut the fuck up and go away" un-invite...I think Mitch and his nothing-to-see-here band of cowards are more afraid of Trump's lunatic mob coming to their homes than they are of Trump...

7. An 77 year old obese individual with probable Covid-related lung issues and early stage dementia ...

eats crap food, has issues at times walking on inclines, speaking, and even holding a glass water.

My prediction: he is going to fade physically. And fast.

[agingdem]

25. Trump had his shot...

he's done..he's lost his bully pulpit, his twitter privileges, and his relevance..and here's the thing...Trump's band of seditionist psychopaths will gradually peel off because he can no longer legitimize their hate...

[paleotn]

8. If he's not in jail.

Oh, did you think this ended with the 2nd impeachment? Nope. We're just getting started.

[JanMichael]

10. 2024 may not see him period. Bad diet, obese, high stresss, 77ish now...

...I haven't run a real actuarial chart on him but I would guess that it is 50/50 that he even makes it to 2022.

[hatrack]

13. He's actually 74 now - 75 in June

.

[JanMichael]

20. Ok 55/45 then for 2022. nt

[GoCubsGo]

24. Yep, and he also likely has long-term COVID effects.

Which tend to exacerbate other health issues, including the dementia/Alzheimer's of which he appears to have. If he's still alive, he'll be in no shape to do anything other than play what passes for "golf."

[former9thward]

28. That same exact post has been made in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.

Except the year of his demise was always about one year ahead of the post.

[JanMichael]

29. I do not remember anyone saying Trump was doomed to die before 2016.

Seriously. I do not remember that at all. His dad lived a bit older was had dementia the last decade of his life.

[former9thward]

31. He was blasted for his diet right from the beginning.

There were no end of predictions of an early death. Many people really believe what they eat is perfect and anything that deviates will lead to a short and miserable life.

[mnhtnbb]

15. I disagree. I suspect he will be booted from the party.

[smirkymonkey]

16. No. Just no.

This will not happen. Mark my words.

[dhill926]

18. I think he will become increasingly irrelevant...

except to his shrinking core of true believers....

[FSogol]

19. Wanna prevent that? GOTV and sweep a larger Democratic majority into the House and Senate. n/t

[Deuxcents]

21. I tend to agree that he won't matter

Even if he’s still alive in 2024. It’s his disciples of the cult I’m concerned about.

[jimlup]

22. Personally, I think that if the Republicans nominate tRump in 2024

deserve everything that will come their way and more.

He will NOT be elected in 2024. We and others will make certain of this.

[GoCubsGo]

23. I doubt he'll even be alive by then.

Have you seen the recent photos of him? He's gained a ton of weight since leaving office. His bout with COVID-19 almost killed him, and he is likely a long-hauler. His cardiovascular system is already compromised from a lifetime of drug abuse, junk food consumption, and lack of exercise, so the damage COVID likely has done to it has created a ticking time bomb. He's likely diabetic, too. Add to that the stress from the dozens of criminal and civil investigations he's facing. If he doesn't have a heart attack or another stroke, it will be a miracle. Not to mention that he has been showing signs of dementia or Alzheimer's (for which he has a family history.) The odds of him being in any shape to run again are nearly extremely low. And, that's if he manages to keep his bloated ass out of prison.

[Vogon_Glory]

26. Maybe, Maybe not

I think a lot of Donnie’s sleazy political and business doings are going to get investigated during the next 4 years.

Also, I genuinely wonder about his health. I would not be surprised if his poor diet and lack of exercise catches up with him.

Also, just how mentally fit will he be in 2024? He might be heading for senility.

[Hoyt]

27. No he hasn't. Assuming he doesn't die from gluttony, he might dip his toes in primaries, but he

won't win.

[lpbk2713]

30. But first, he's got to live that long.

And I have serious doubts.
