I know there'll be lawsuits and tweets and riots and bullshit for a while to come, but I need the cathartic release of the announcement that Donald Trump lost the election, is a one term president, and that Biden/Harris are president and vice president elect. I need it. What if he runs again in 4 years and does a Cleveland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Skywalker Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I think he would have to run as an Independent. At least I hope the Republican party realizes he's an Albatross and disassociates with him. If not, they deserve everything they get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the same thing in our group text the other day. It's definitely possible, but I dunno. His ego definitely might force him to do it, but he could also easily beg off by saying if they cheated him this time they'll just cheat him again. Plus I think it'd be great to see Jr or Ivanka or someone crash and burn in the primaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus hopefully the Big Mac diet catches up with him before then. There, I said it and I have a little bit of shame for it, but I also mean it. As for Trump running as a Republican, if the establishment is against him that just helps him. If they embrace him, that also helps him. The days of party leaders choosing is past, so thinking about the Republicans making strategic decisions is past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GOP didn't want him in the first place. They only rallied behind when they realized he was going the distance. They are going to do their best to throw their weight behind some new monster. McConnel will become their mouthpiece now. Trump's name wilL still come up, but the future GOP won't revere him like Reagan. It'll be more like Nixon.

It may go exactly as you say, but if he holds sway over the voters, that changes things. And he's not going away, no matter what he says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think once he's out of sight, out of mind, he will go the way of Nixon. My dad is a conservative Christian who I know deep down is mortified by Trump's decorum (or lack thereof), but HER EMAILS! He's just always been a Republican but doesn't know how to vote any other way (but somehow did vote for Hillary in 2016 despite those emails and we had a conversation on Election Night 2016 about how disgusting Trump was). But once Trump was party leader, he fell in line. I see people like my dad who should and deep down do know better, but they are too obedient to stand up. Unfortunately, not something I'm super proud of right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I meant public spotlight - remember, he’s actually been a force in the GOP since Obama took office, and he has an insane amount of Twitter followers, and people who legitimately believe he was sent by God. Those people aren’t going to give up easily, especially because he’s been laying down the “Commies are stealing the election” message for months.

Tank Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Twitter and FB banned Qanon and they immediately just flipped to their own platform-- which is actually worse because now there's not a bit of dissent in their echochamber. Trump will launch his own platform and become a social media pundit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 He's already started the "if I lose I will leave the country" narrative awhile back. Promise you it will be a country with no extradition agreement with the US. He can be prosecuted in absentia, and it would at least rob him of Secret Service protection.

Destiny Skywalker Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Can't see him being too comfortable in those places. His best bet was probably China but probably shouldn't have gone off the rails about "the Chinese virus". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
