What will happen to Mr. Trump after the Presidency? Will he reclaim his business empire and drive it to further heights? Will he spend the next 10 years in depositions for all of the civil suits? Will he declare bankruptcy again? Will any of the sexual assault allegations result in criminal charges? Is there a divorce in the future? I don't really see him becoming an elder statesman of the Republican party.

The left will hound him until the day he dies.
He will be prosecuted and persecuted beyond anything we have ever seen.
His family and associates will be accorded the same fate.
He has to be made an example of what happens to people that dare to oppose the agenda.

If they succeed in stealing this election through blatant and obvious voter fraud, he will run in 2024.

I also don't see him retiring to a quiet life golfing out of the public eye.

He'll be treated by the left how the right has treated Hillary.

After the election and after the "jail her" ruckus had died down the right largely tried to ignore her but like a bad smell she kept coming back largely because she couldn't keep her mouth shut

I had no doubt that he would stick to the theme of the 2nd election being stolen from him (much like Hillary's failed attempt) but it honestly never crossed my mind that he would run again. We'll see. I can't see the R party supporting him, but I suppose there could be circumstances that would allow him to run, and win, as an independent. Off hand, Biden ceding control of the office to Harris and her screwing up the vaccine and economic recovery comes to mind.

One of the really bad things about this to me is that it has emboldened not the democratic party, but the republican party. They sure showed that no good outsider a thing or two. I'm seeing very little disappointment from the establishment Rs. It's almost like they're happy things turned out this way as the "political club" can now get back to business.

And let this be a warning to anyone else that hasn't been a politician his entire career about what will happen to you if you insert yourself in the club. I guarantee that the next Republican candidate for President will be a milquetoast establishment empty suit.

If they succeed in helping the left steal the election, they can run anyone they want. I'll be voting for Trump. They can choose to have my vote or not.

(Note, this is coming from someone who didn't vote for him in 2016)

Not unlikely, or a clone of him. I might be predicting it, but I won't vote for whoever it is.

My wishful thinking about it is that he becomes a passionate spokesperson for voting reform.

Although he ain't no Bloomberg dollar-wise, I would like to see him set up similar strategic situations in all the states... not unlike Bloomberg's anti-gun committees. Maybe with some contributory funding. I myself would kick in a few shekels to make some progress toward "limiting democracy," if you will, to bona fide and qualified voting citizens.

And maybe dealing with such details as returning the selection of Senators to the individual States' legislatures.

Loaded with danger?

Yes, but look at the danger the constant "expanding" of the voting franchise has created.

I'm just hoping the "bully pulpit" created for him by this election does not go to waste.

I'm not signing this non-PC one so nobody will know who posted it.

If Trump runs as an independent, he might get more votes than whoever the republicans run but that's a guaranteed win for the democrats.

Exactly. The GOP is mostly corporatists and/or rino's, none of whom are on the side of the American ideal and principles.

Bah. Humbug. The Dems have proven that they don't need to expand the voting franchise when all they need to do is print ballots.

What election reform needs is to return to the halcyon days of "one man, one vote."

First, get rid of early voting and mail-in ballots (except for legitimate absentee ballots). Those who want to vote can just haul their sorry asses to the voting location on election day.

Next, require photo ID to vote. And require photo ID and proof of citizenship as a prerequisite to register to vote.

And then, come up with a voting mechanism that can't be easily diddled. When I grew up in Connecticut, the entire state used old-fashioned mechanical voting machines. I remember one year when I was in grammar school during an election cycle the whole class walked across the street to town hall for a lesson in how the machines worked. My understanding is that Connecticut continued to use those machines until about 10 years (or so?) ago, when they were retired partially because they hadn't been produced for a very long time so repair parts weren't available, and there may have been a federal mandate to migrate to some form of electronic voting.

I trusted those old machines. I don't trust any of the more modern replacements/alternatives.

No bah humbug. Nothing I said precludes anything you said. Just "progress toward."

My sore point (seems to be yours, too) is to guarantee bona fide qualified voters.

"Qualified" is subject to interpretation. Used to be you had to read and speak English, but of course, that limitation limited "democracy.'

So boo, hiss on that "qualification."

If someone wants to go that far again, it's OK with me, but I see the danger there as well, in terms of using subjective or "prejudicial" standards, etc.

But of course, once the bell has rung and the horses are out of the gate, all bets are off. Nobody who might be disenfranchised would vote for that, therefore we've already gone past that "tipping point."

Hence that approach is moot.

I'd be happy with limiting voting to actual legal citizens of the USA. One person, one vote with a valid free state issued (preferably photo) ID. Maybe we could model our voter ID off of a country like Mexico but the libtards might consider their method discriminatory against people of color.

This.

No one in his circle, or even in close proximity to it, will be safe. I would not be surprised if the harassment became physical.
