Trump doesn't have declining health. He was the healthiest human to have ever existed before and now he's even healthiester. Just ask his crazy doctor being paid to say that.
The question is if the party will allow him to be their candidate. I’m not convinced he’d get the nomination.In making the decision to run, Trump will not take his declining health into account, he will the issue away by fervent denial--unless dementia changes his personality drastically--which, I have heard, sometimes happens before the descent into obvious and continuous incoherence.I sincerely do not believe that Trump will be re-elected. I seriously doubt he will run. From what I hear, his health continues to decline and so do the number and fervor of his followers. Wide speculation that he's only dangling his 'campaign' for the grift.So, they will be the most airtight cases ever to be set aside by a newly re-elected President's latest corrupt AG.He has to be a stickler. These are enormous charges and cases must be airtight.I fear that Garland is such a stickler for process that he will fritter away the window of opportunity trying to be 100% correct at every turn.Of course it is. We just have to trust that more charges are coming. This really is an enormous case.I think they should have charged some of the Proud Boys and their leadership with the same thing. They were using encrypted communication at some point, but a lot of their seditious talk and active support of violent insurrection was also going on in real time on Parler as they were doing it. Enrique Tarrio was linking quite a few threads and saying to go in and not give up. Threads he was linking were of Proud Boys committing crimes. I don't see how that can't all be evidence of seditious conspiracy especially when in context of planning to show up with weapons and act out.
Woop-de-doo.
They are quite busy driving out anyone who would tell him, "No." Or even, "Maybe not?"The question is if the party will allow him to be their candidate. I’m not convinced he’d get the nomination.

Partially, it depends on how the sedition trials go. And who else gets arrested. Also: Mitch McConnell, reportedly on the outs with Trump, is also perhaps not terribly well. He's getting up there in years and frankly, he looks awful.The question is if the party will allow him to be their candidate. I’m not convinced he’d get the nomination.
Which one of those weenies is going to fall on his sword by challenging Sir Donald to a nicknaming contest?
Seriously, hard to imagine Trump handing over anything to anyone ever.
I don't think Don Jr. could win if Russia AND China worked their hardest to get him to the seat.They are quite busy driving out anyone who would tell him, "No." Or even, "Maybe not?"The question is if the party will allow him to be their candidate. I’m not convinced he’d get the nomination.
But i expect Don Jr to get the nomination.
Original Flavor Trump gets the glory, most of the money, acess, but none of the blame or the work.

It's certainly true that Trump is only in it for the grift. His "loved ones" have probably suffered all the embarrassment and "public service" they can.I sincerely do not believe that Trump will be re-elected. I seriously doubt he will run. From what I hear, his health continues to decline and so do the number and fervor of his followers. Wide speculation that he's only dangling his 'campaign' for the grift.
I sincerely hope that’s right. I’d like nothing better than seeing goobernor death sentence bungle a Presidential campaign and lose the Presidency and both houses of Congress (for real this time- a majority without the DINOs).
But if ANY trumpsucker gets the presidency, all the 1/6 traitors will have government jobs, cabinet positions etc. and it is unlikely that there will ever again be free and fair elections.
As she prepares to throw her hat in the ring, I assume she'll move more and more to the Trump camp, and away from her liberal sympathies for minorities.Washington Post said:Haley, arguing against the impeachment of Trump on Fox News, did allow that Jan. 6 was a “tough day” and that Trump’s actions since the election were “not his finest.”
That’s incredibly mild to begin with. But Haley continued: “Does he deserve to be impeached? Absolutely not.”
“I don’t even think there’s a basis for impeachment,” Haley said, adding: “They beat him up before he got into office. They’re beating him up after he leaves office. At some point, I mean, give the man a break!"
I think that Nikki Haley has a reasonable chance to win the nomination. I don't see DeSantis or Tucker Carlson (?????omg just no) winning the nomination or the election.It's certainly true that Trump is only in it for the grift.

Good news is that Trump cares nothing about policy, service or the GOP. He's happy to see the GOP lose since that leads to MORE donations to his grifts, and more T-shirt sales for Junior. Growing older and increasingly incontinent, Trump may be an ASSET for the Democrats in upcoming elections.
But I'm not optimistic. If DeSantis or Tucker Carlson gets the nod they'll run — and win — on Trump's Stop-the-Steal agenda and America's 230-year experiment in democracy will be finished.
In ranked order, the winner of the 2024 election is projected by the Betfair market to be
Trump
Biden
DeSantis
Harris
with Haley, Pence, Buttigieg roughly tied for 5th place.
My own guess is that Nikki Haley will win the nomination and the Presidency. Haley is a right-winger and seems to support voter suppression, but so far she doesn't seem to be a hate-crazed Stop-the-Steal enthusiast.

Would there be any interest here in staging a Karachi Auction to bet on the outcome of the 2024 election? (All for pretend money of course.) The election is a long way away, but even when the tickets are sold out, there can still be an interesting after-market in the tickets.
If Nikki gets the nomination I think she'll be a big favorite to win in November.
