I wouldn't be surprised to see Trump run in 2024 after he loses in 2020

[fescuerescue]

He would still be eligible.

Just a scary thought that 2020 won't be the last.

[Ferrets are Cool]

1. From prison?

[rzemanfl]

3. GMTA. n/t

[fescuerescue]

4. Same prison that W is in?

Or is it the Hague?

Come on.

This country doesn't send the powerful to prison. It's a nice thought though, but that's all it is.

[Ferrets are Cool]

5. You rained on my happy parade with facts.

[fescuerescue]

6. Sorry

I guess I'm in a rainy mood today.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

15. It's rainy

Where I am at. Cloudy and rainy. Ugh.🌧️

[CaptYossarian]

12. By 2024, he'll either be well-stoned or Wellstoned.

See what I did there?

[I_UndergroundPanther]

17. Yeah

Wellstone's loss sometimes I feel it even years later.

[CaptYossarian]

27. I think he was destined for the White House.

At least my state still has Russ Feingold (somewhere). We once had some true statespersons up north.

Our three Democratic senators are more than adequate. Moe-Ron Johnson is our comic relief though. He'll be in the minority party soon.

[Polybius]

43. Wellstone was my favorite Senator

It would have been interesting to see if he would have ran for President in 2004 or 2008.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

51. It would have been awesome if he ran tho.

[rzemanfl]

2. If Drumpf isn't in prison by then. n/t

[dawg day]

7. I think he,'ll be in the memory ward by then.

and he'll be too busy slinging racial slurs And Insisting he knows more than the doctors to run against his son for the nomination.

[fescuerescue]

11. I hope so

But I've been hearing this loser beg for attention for 3 decades now.

It's all he knows.

[Cirque du So-What]

8. Gophers will be delivering his mail by then

I hope the whole klan is too busy defending against lawsuits to try regaining office.

[Laelth]

9. It's possible. Nothing prevents a candidate from running while in prison.

Eugene V. Debs did so in 1920.

-Laelth

[obnoxiousdrunk]

10. He may if

he is still alive.

[MontanaMama]

13. He will be dead.

Cholesterol and or drug abuse will addle his brain or what’s left of it. Or, he will stroke out by then. Junior, however, might be a concern. All of the rubes already have their flags and will want to use them.

[smirkymonkey]

20. We can only hope.

If he's not dead by then, he will pretty much be a drooling vegetable. I was watching the documentary "Unfit" last night and one of the psychologists/psychiatrists was saying that with the type of mental deterioration he has, it can only get worse. It will never improve. He will only go downhill from here, and the drug abuse will just accellerate that process.

I am hoping his kids will all be in prison by then.

[redstatebluegirl]

40. Remember only the good die young, he could live forever.

[scarletlib]

52. Or out of his mind.

[Claustrum]

14. Lets be honest, even if it's not Trump, it will be one of the mini-Trumps (Ivanka or Jr.)

They made so much money off the republicans and the federal government in recent years they are not going to let that golden egg gone. it's once in a life-time opportunity. They will milk it for as long as they can.

[NurseJackie]

16. He'll be in prison, or holed-up in Russia... or dead from a stroke or heart attack.

Hopefully dead from a stroke or heart attack. (Is it a sin to wish someone dead? If so, I'm a sinner.)

[fescuerescue]

18. Health is his biggest enemy IMO

I think he has much of chance of going to jail as W does.

But his money and power aren't making him healthier.

[Klaralven]

19. I wouldn't be surprised to see Trump run for the border after he loses in 2020

Although he may have trouble making it over the wall...

What country would have him? Cyprus seems like the usual destination for oligarchs that have fallen out of favor in their mother country.

[NurseJackie]

22. After his loss he'll schedule a "farewell tour" that includes a visit to Moscow... BUT...

After his loss he'll schedule a "farewell tour" that includes a visit to Moscow... BUT... he never returns. He'll just stay. He'll give Air Force One to his ̶S̶o̶v̶i̶e̶t̶ Russian handlers.

[Klaralven]

28. Trump would have no continuing value to Putin.

Even Russian oligarchs don't retire in Russia. Cyprus, London, and Israel are popular destinations.

[NurseJackie]

47. Very astute.

[BlueStater]

21. No guarantee he'll even still be alive in four years.

And if he is, dementia will probably have ravaged his brain so badly by that point that he’ll be in no shape to run again.

[Silver1]

23. All the more reason to keep investigating him after the election.

Everything needs to be exposed so his hateful influence can be stopped.

German right-wingers are marching with Trump flags now -- the swastika is outlawed so his image has replaced it. He can still do a lot of damage, even if he isn't president or re-elected.

[Baitball Blogger]

24. I think his health problems will stop him from trying.

[Ms. Toad]

25. That one I'm not concerned about.

The Lincoln Project (and like-minded Republicans) will be able to prevent him being nominated by the Republican party. (And none of the mini-Trumps have the following or street smarts to pull it off.)

ETA: And I'm one of the folks who keeps yelling at everyone to stop taking a Biden win for granted (and I was also raising caution flags in 2016 when we were so certain Clinton would win). So this isn't Pollyanna talking here.

[Polybius]

44. The Lincoln Project is poison to the current nuts who make up the Party

I fully expect them to nominate Tucker Carlson in 2024.

[malaise]

26. That body won't last that long

Take that to the bank

[SamKnause]

29. Hopefully that useless, dangerous, evil, orange, lying sack of shit will be dead by then.

[TheCowsCameHome]

30. So. What.

He'll go nowhere. Period.

[fescuerescue]

31. It's the noise.

The noise i say.

[marmar]

32. When he loses, he's done.

[chriscan64]

33. He won't make it for all the reasons listed above.

But it would not surprise me if his "concession speech" became his 2024 campaign announcement.

[plcdude]

34. I think

He will be a convicted felon before that.

[fescuerescue]

41. Serious question

Is a Felony conviction a disqualifier from being President?

His fans don't care that's for sure.

[dalton99a]

35. Hopefully by then he'll forget he was ever president or Ivanka was his wife

[TruckFump]

36. In 2024 that asshole will either be dead or in prison.

But I am sure the Trumputinistas will support him under either circumstance.

[beachbumbob]

37. be too hard from Moscow where trump family has asylum granted

[Action_Patrol]

38. Grifter

He will just pull some Sarah Palin grifter bullshit. He will have Hate-rally’s Mopping up money to idiots willing to part with it. When it’s time for him to actually declare as a candidate he will take the money and disappear like a thief in the night.

[Patterson]

39. He will be older, sicker, broker, bogged down in lawsuits, and

lots of embarrassing and illegal stuff will be known. And he will be lots crazier.

[MineralMan]

42. Nah. He'll be dead by then, I think.

[Polybius]

45. He's not really THAT old

Last edited Wed Sep 9, 2020, 05:35 PM - Edit history (1)

He will be 78. He has great health care and fairly good genes, with both parents making it into their 90's. I know he eats like shit but sometimes people live long anyway.

[JI7]

48. He is in horrible shape and has trouble walking and breathing

[Norbert]

46. By 2024 his arteries will be too hardened because of his 'diet' to make an effort

[LisaL]

49. Do you expect him to live forever?

NT

[fescuerescue]

50. 4 years isn't forever

It does seem that candidates keep getting older and older though.

Heck my grandparents made it just short of 90. They did alot in the 28 years between 70 and 98.

And he'll be about the same age as Biden when he runs for re-election, so we shouldn't hit that note overly hard.

[Awsi Dooger]

53. I fully expect it

If Trump loses he will immediately attack Biden once Biden is in office. Trump's supporters will lap up every tweet and comment. Trump will still have huge media presence and be able to dictate nominees.

It if foolish not to understand the potential for Trump to maintain support and run again, especially if Biden's approval drops and Democrats have a weak 2022 midterm.

Trump and his supporters would use that as evidence of blood in the water

[fescuerescue]

54. Yep. He will be the first ex-president to attack a sitting President

He will break 200 years of decorum and civility to just statisfy his ego.

Trump is a fool. We all know that.

But we have underestimated him at EVERY opportunity. He's not even supposed to be there. That happened because we underestimated him and it's a mistake we keep making over and over and over.

As for jail? Right. He's going to same jail that W went to. (remember that one!?)
