HH I assure you that Trump won’t be running for anything. He is so fat that he even takes his golf cart onto the putting green.He will be crawling away from numerous civil and criminal suits.He is getting so ensnarled in the BIG Lie and 1/6 coup conspiracy that he hasn’t even had time to throw his lunch against the wall for weeks.

He will NOT rpt NOT be a serious presidential candidate in 2024. Out of ego, he may tease us with a semi-hat-in-the-ring and, perhaps solicit more money from his cultists, but he’s a coward and won’t risk being a public has been in 2024.
I agree that it is unlikely he will be a candidate in 2024, which unfortunately doesn't end the trajectory we are on. There are more dangerous people gunning to take his place.
I'd like to ask you to keep his weight out of the criticism of him, however. As someone involved in the fat acceptance movement, I know that comments like that do not hurt Trump; they hurt other fat people who already have to live with enormous systemic bias against them and regular threats to their safety.
Thank YOU. I steel myself to write comments like this. When I used to do it on Twitter (not on Twitter anymore), there was always unpleasant backlash. I think here it might be more understood, but you never know.
Being fat won't stop an aggrieved autocrat like Trump from seeking revenge. Look at the man's history. Let's hope he will be embroiled in major criminal and civil lawsuits. That won't stop him. He will declare himself persecuted and figure out how to discredit the rule of law. The man is monstrous and unbending. Even if he can't touch his toes.
I agree. Between his narcissism and the criminality of the republican party, I'm not taking anything off the table. As far as I am concerned 2016 is the second election they fixed. I don't see them changing their mindset anytime soon.
Exactly, but nobody wants me to start again about the Electoral College. With the Reps' iron grasp on State governments, the Electoral College, and the corrupt Supreme Court, I continue to feel helpless about this country's future.
Nancy Ditto about Trump in 2016–and in 2020. Trump ain’t going to risk it in 2024, as his star is falling and some of his Mafiosos are beginning to squeal like stuck pigs.
So, Keith, do you see the next year as one of political detente with Trump and Biden promoting the idea (myth, ploy) the 2024 will repeat 2020 to keep a lid on speculations and agressive pre-campaigning before real candidates come out of from under a rock or the woodwork?
Fred Though an historian should stick to analyzing the past, I’ll venture a guess that neither Trump nor Biden will be 2024 candidates. There will be younger candidates—with DeSantis a scary prospect—a more intelligent Trumpist.
Trump may announce White House bid this fall, despite GOP fears of disrupting midterm elections
Some Republicans fear that Trump announcing he will run in 2024 could undercut them at a time when they have a strong chance of retaking the House and Senate. But as possible rivals become more aggressive, an increasing number of allies are urging the former president to launch his campaign now as a way to shore up his standing in the party and drive turnout in November's midterms.
See my comment up-thread quoting Dan Pfeiffer on why it's not in TFG's interest to declare early. "News" stories that start with "may announce" and source "some Republicans" aren't especially good for buttressing arguments.
I think any announcement now by Trump will only galvanize voters to support Democrat candidates - at least those Republican & Independent voters who are following the Jan. 6 committee public hearings. Perhaps an announcement by Trump now will be as effective as his admonitions in Georgia before the 2020 elections.

I agree Nomi. Thanks.

Also agree.

Keith, I truly hope you are correct that being said if we don't proceed in charging tfg soon he will strike back and again be in the race.
Bill, are you Mary Carter's brother?
That's my take, also, Keith. On the other hand, I totally rejected the possibility that he'd win in '16.
Actually, you were right. He lost the popular vote, but the electoral college played whack-a-mole again.
Exactly, but nobody wants me to start again about the Electoral College. With the Reps' iron grasp on State governments, the Electoral College, and the corrupt Supreme Court, I continue to feel helpless about this country's future.
To say nothing of the GOP controlled Senate..
How true, David. I dislike Manchin and Sinema even more than the Reprehensible Reps. At least they tell you up front what they are!
Nancy Ditto about Trump in 2016–and in 2020. Trump ain’t going to risk it in 2024, as his star is falling and some of his Mafiosos are beginning to squeal like stuck pigs.
I really hope you are right.
I sincerely hope you are right.
