R.I.P. Scout26
Overall, when I see a Republican defeated in an election, the core of the party, which also seems to be never-Trump, says that it will be a fundraising opportunity. I'm hoping that Trump tags another outsider, non-politician, as a running mate.
I’d prefer Trump went the “kingmaker” role. Rather than run again himself step aside and endorse someone else that will carry the flag. He’ll be 78 by the 2024 elections, and frankly that is too old. Whether that’s DeSantis or Don Jr, or someone not currently on the radar I don’t care much.
Plus, if Trump is the 2024 nominee, the GOP has no incumbent in 2028.
NBC's @Yamiche Alcindor on 74 percent of Americans saying the U.S. is on the wrong track: "They’re very worried about former President Trump coming back into power, or former President Trump or another Republican stealing the election in 2022 or 2024." pic.twitter.com/3DmsujpgDw — Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) August 22, 2022
If Biden/Kamala/AOC/Hillary/Whoever is elected in 2024, the GOP would have no incumbent in what's left of our country in 2028 either.
I'm not saying we shouldn't vote for Trump in the general election. Just saying that having an 8 year GOP president would be better.
Now, if Trump were elected in 2024 and he had a good VP, that would potentially give us 12 years of a GOP POTUS.Unless The Stupid PartyTM blew it.
Younger without all the baggage would be a good thing. Make him speaker to finish destroying the lefts minds. But then again, he never saw a spending bill he wouldn't sign.
And have Vice Presidents ever mattered (unless something happens to the President)?
