Trump will lose in a landslide. And I actually think he will be the Republican candidate. I think DeSantis will see the futility of running when there is still a sizeable minority that worships Trump. Hopefully it’s not too late for Ronnie D to save us in 2028.

Trump is not running. His ego won't allow him to risk losing a second time. He can claim it was stolen from him once, but he can't claim it twice. He's only keeping the possibility of a run alive now so he can fundraise off of it. When it gets closer, though, he'll insist that he refuses to take part in a rigged system Then he'll keep saying it, which will infuriate the Republican establishment because it will depress Republican turnout.

R6 that also seems plausible. If nothing else, he is an expert at grifting.

I agree with him. His polling numbers wiped the floor with the others at the conservative convention. Hes running and he will win. I’ve resigned myself and am starting to mentally prepare now. MARY

Franken has always been a crank. He's woefully out of touch if he thinks now, after everything that has happened, after the attempted coup and after Trump sucked up to and praised Putin, that Trump has the same support he used to. People are over him. He's yesterday's news, a loser, feeble minded and banned from social media like a sulky teenager. Melania couldn't sell an NFT to their gullible few followers and Trump's own blog and social media platform have both flopped. The trucker convoy has already been forgotten.
So, what, did he watch 5 minutes of CPAC on YouTube and get worried or something? It's ridiculous.

Putin will ensure- via hackers- that Trump becomes POTUS and Pompeo becomes VP. Trump will step down after 'winning' the election (possibly for health reasons) and Pompeo will become President/Dictator.

"Trump is not running. His ego won't allow him to risk losing a second time."
He ran in 2016 despite telling everyone he was almost sure he would lose. But Bannon kept assuring him he'd win, then Kellyanne Conway signed on his Trumpsplainer.
And he ran in 2020 despite always being behind in the polls. And he still thinks he was the winner.
I think it would be very cathartic for Americans- and the world- to see Trump fail bigly in the primaries. Proof that he never really won anything.

More Trump really, Not to worry. If US citizens want trump well they deserve him. haven't you wanted to live in a country beside the USA. Here is a great opportunity to do it. Learn a different Language. Get a new perspective. Offer your skills in a whole new way to the world. Meet new friends. You might find life better in a country were you get health care from your taxes. Life isn't dominated by work. Some places people actually don't worship more more more. You might be able to retire someday. Housing can be affordable. Some places have actual public transport thats affordable. you won't need a gas guzzling money eating automobile. Your friends can come and visit. It is a big world out there and life is short so git off your duff and explore. Let the suckers run the machine.

I doubt Trump seriously wants to be president again, but he is too much of an egomaniac to stand aside completely. He may try to get his own preferred winged monkey nominated. However, since he is also insecure, vengeful and stupid, I fully expect him to turn against whoever the candidate is, long before the election.
| by Anonymous | reply 20 | February 28, 2022 4:03 PM |
Yes, he does want to be POTUS, again. He tries to act ambivalent, in case he loses. Then he can say: well, I knew I was going to lose. Blah blah blah.
If he were making so much money before he became POTUS, I doubt he would have campaigned. He wasn't making that much money as he tried to say.
However, we'll never know until the IRS coughs up his returns.

Trump lost the second election because he was unable get varuous State officials to cheat for him after the fact. Putin did not help with the second election as it was assumed he would win. If he runs he will cheat. A lot of wheels have been put into motion to allow it.

Trump and his minions are trying everything from gerrymandering, to restricting voters rights state by state, to installing ringers on election boards and secretaries of state nationwide, to eliminating mail-in votes. This way even if he loses, his ringers in all the states can claim the election results were wrong and stolen, and have the electors in key states certify Trump regardless. The 2020 election shenanigans and the Jan 6th coup attempt was a dry run. The next one will succeed. "Democrat" senators Manchin and Sinema and indebted to their corporate masters and are willing to allow voting rights to be destroyed over the so-called sanctity of preserving the filibuster.

merrick garland isn't even investigating trump
He's already won the 2024 election. Every single month for the last 14 months, the republicans have rolled out some kind of voter suppression or election laws in 47 states. The democrats haven't done a single thing about any of it.
Biden didn't even mention voting rights in his state of the union speech.

That's because Gaetz isn't an impediment for her own career ambitions, which Franken was. She'd sell her first born if she thought it would guarantee her political future. Or maybe just sell the gun she slept with under her bed when she was in the house but then magically got rid of when she had to appeal to downstate voters during her senate run.

[quote]Al Franken, the comedian, former U.S. senator and dedicated podcaster, has laid out a dire future for the country while revisiting the topic of Donald Trump as president of the United States. Franken, speaking on The Al Franken Podcast, broached the topic in trademark form, sarcastically looking back at the Trump administration’s early fumbling of the inauguration’s crowd size and Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway’s references to “alternative facts” — before he looked into the future, which he predicts will be bleak. “And by the way, when you say kids will look up and see Donald Trump’s picture as president, they’ll see Donald Trump, then they’ll see [Joe] Biden, and then they’ll see Donald Trump again,” Franken said. “And he’ll still be president when these kids are in school. “Because, that’s it. It’s over. It’ll be a dictatorship. It’ll be an authoritarian regime. We won’t have a democratic election. It’ll be like Hungary, and it’ll all be fraud.”
This is from Yahoo News and comes across as paraphrased. Franken does not come out and say Trump will win, he's speaking as more of a cautionary tale.
The only place that HEADLINES Franken as predicting Trump will in in 2024 is at Mediaite.com. Quoting from the article:
[quote]Comedian and former Senator Al Franken (D-MN) claimed Donald Trump will erase American democracy and become a full-blown dictator and if elected president again.
Again cautionary, not predicting anything.
Don't help spread the bullshit people.

R33 you know me too well.
R22, it was a few things, but the blatant “stop the steal” grifting was what finally did it. Don’t get me wrong, I agreed that the 2020 election had massive fraud, but he never intended to “stop the steal.” He was just fundraising. It was his fault that he allowed the COVID lockdowns, BLM riots, massive mail-in ballot and ballot harvesting fraud, etc. in the first place. His re-election campaign was a mess, basically just embracing the identity politics of the left writ large. Plus, my girl Ann Coulter pointed out correctly that he failed to keep his election promise and never built the wall.
Basically, he became a standard lying corporatist Republican, and I hate them. I wanted a wall and I wanted MAGA, not another Jeb Bush, which is basically what he was.
Dude gave me lots of laughs over the years and I’m forever grateful that he beat that lying bitch Hillary, but I’ve had sufficient. I would like to never hear from him again.

I would take Mitt Romney or Adam Kinzinger in a second if the other option is Trump or one of his lackeys.
But Al Franken really is a quitter in the full sense of the word. Maybe he's just a born pessimist. He received some pressure to resign for some stupid photos and he immediately obliged. Now he's basically telling us "shoot yourselves now because the country is about to be a dictatorship." I'm not saying that we're not in deep danger of this being a reality; we are. But it is not a foregone conclusion. It is still early-ish 2022. If Franken were Ukranian today, he would - like Maks C. - have taken the first train out with women and children. He has no fight in him and so he's useless in today's dangerous political landscape.
