What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

And that's why the ridiculous court cases and sworn affidavits brought by the Trump team in the wake of the 2020 election don't really matter. It was never about successfully demonstrating that fraud took place, but rather about planting that seed in the mind of voters and generating political will to restrict voting rights and install Trump loyalists in positions that would make it easier to circumvent democratic results in future elections if those results aren't to Trump's liking.

Respectfully disagree.

He main hold the base, but moderate republicans, independents and democrats will not stomach Trump for 4 more years.

I am hoping he runs frankly.

The midterms will be an indication but only truly relevant at that moment in time.

"There are very few moderate Republicans left in places of influence - they either go pro-Trump or lose their ats a la Cheney"

The people running may win the nomination, but it's all about what the public want when it comes to the elections. Sure, there are examples of extreme trumpite candidates winning but there are also examples of those losing.

Red states may remain red, but there will be a lot more closely run elections in battleground states.

"The democrats aren't doing anything worthwhile to inspire confidence."

The fact is they have. There is a problem with messaging but they absolutely have passed key legislation. They need to nail that **** down. The problem is, Trump's legal woes are a lot more interesting to people so little time is spent informing folks on positive news.

I can't remember who it was, maybe John Oliver, who did a piece about how the Democrats keep focusing on Federal elections; the House and Senate. The GOP put a lot of effort into the State elections; local judges, school boards, mayors, State officials etc.

It helps the GOP because it gives them greater control in what happens within the states, what's being taught in schools, police budgets, state laws, gerrymandering and also voting laws (how many polling centres, where are they, what ID is needed, voting registers etc).

That's a huge part of why the GOP maintain the hold they have over a lot of states which could otherwise shift away from them. The Dems aim for the level where they can do big things nationally, but the GOP are more focused on more numerous, smaller changes throughout the country.

Trump has created and fired up enough of a rabid base at low levels who will seep into those school boards and local official levels that will end up having a huge impact further down the line.

Also the food he claims to eat coupled with his bizarre theory that humans have a finite amount of energy like a battery so he refuses to do any formal exercise isn't gonna leave him long for this world

Can you imagine the conspiracy theories of he did die?

If anyone is absolutely guaranteed to live to the age of 100, it's Donald J Trump.

I don't see any mental slowdown in Trump, he's perfectly electable in the eyes of his supporters and many Americans in terms of health. Yeah, technically he should be infirm going by his lifestyle by now, but he continues to buck that trend somehow.

It would be easy to cut together a video montage of Trump making weird gaffes and present that as Trump has dementia, as has been done with Biden. As far as his physical health goes, Trump may be an argument that pettiness and a desire for revenge can really keep a man going. He doesn't have a regular exercise regimen, drinks several sodas a day and extols the virtues of McDonalds' food. The experts would tell you he should have died about two decades ago.

Makes sense. The Repiblican Party has been in civil war mode since the election "theft", theres the regular normal Republicans who actually have Republican beliefs, and the Trump diehards who worship DonDon above everything else.
