“I hope not”

Both “major parties” will split, both are actually dying.

The Democrats appear to be trying to force Biden, neither RFK nor Tulsi can accept that. If it’s Newsom I still think the party will split.

If Trump is somehow the “official” nominee, the GOP leadership will form a party to run DeSantis if he’s willing, Tim Scott or Christie if he’s not. If they block Trump (which is what I expect) he will obviously run as an independent (which is what he is).

I’m already following the 1860 analogy straight to Fort Sumter.

The country is dying.

No president is going to be perfect, but Trump’s platform
comes closer to it than most I’ve seen, and when he serves
he actually tries to implement most of it.

When the House and Senate is of his same party, he expects
them to do some of the heavy lifting, not try to implement
the Left’s agenda for them, like the Republicans did from
2017-2018.

Look at DACA alone. Look at their refusal to fund the wall.

Trump fought for everything in court and prevailed.

Others would have simply said, “Oh well, I tried.”, and
thrown up their hands.

Trump is not a quitter. If anyone wants the swamp drained,
there’s only one guy that can and will do it to the best
of his ability. No other guy out there could and would.

But the Bush GOP will not accept or vote for Trump.

********************

So what?

Let them vote for Biden “the mummy” and Kamala “the dope” again.

The 2024 election will be a continuation of 2016 & 2020, which is MAGA against the elitists in the democrat & republican uniparty.

Doughty,

I’ve never been more motivated in my life, to vote for the 45th President in 2024.

No matter what!!!

I’ll crawl out of a grave, over broken glass, or through lava to accomplish this feat.

I don’t think “Beto” O’Rourke is doing anything again this year. He could hire the Harvard Hogg Boy to be his running mate and be his anti-Bill of Rights czar.

Many of us are thinking along the same lines these days.

Good for you.

In Virginia, they are testing the waters to have Youngkin run for President.

In looking at who they are running for the Senate sit, they have a Navy Vet whose name I have never heard.

I wonder if Youngkin would consider running for the Senate, making him show his National abilities, and then run for President in 28. He could possibly create a landslide.

Just a thought.

Hogan and Christie should run together as a ticket and drive around the country on motorcycles so they can be mistaken for the fat twins from the Guinness Book of World Records.

They will vote for DeSantis, or Christie, or Hogan, or Sununu.

None of those clowns will be the Republican nominee in 2024.

Those Republican voters will either be voting Biden/Harris or Trump in 2024.

Do Biden/Harris Republicans really care about our nation?

My reply to you was that a 3rd party candidate won’t win. The only time that could’ve happened was in ‘92, as Perot was leading early on until he dropped out (he didn’t want to be President, he just wanted to sabotage Bush, Sr’s candidacy). There’s no candidate on the horizon that could pull that off today.

Then he’s an idiot.

Then I am too.

I expect our party to support Conservative ideals.

If the members at the top can’t, it’s time for them to join
Mitch and slip off into the netherworld sunset.

“ None of those clowns will be the Republican nominee in 2024.”

If Trump is the nominee, they will create a “real GOP” line on the ballot for one of their stooges. If they disqualify Trump (probable), then Trump will create a ballot line for himself.

Either way, the GOP splits (and then, thankfully, dies).

I believe that a third party will be more likely to pull voters from the Biden and progressive wing of the democrat party than from members of the conservative branch of the GOP. Many of the GOP establishment are democrat supporters anyway but they may move their Biden vote to someone else who is only slightly right of AOC or Bernie.

Cornel West of the Green Party, as long as he really campaigns, will be a factor in 2024.

***********”*

As a Trump supporter “through hell & high water” guy, West received a $100 check a month ago.

I want young lefty voters & the Bernie Bros to have options for 2024😀
