that IMO will stop him from running. If this group of republicans also step in, it's definitely curtains for the orange turd.

... if that happens, the Republican primary voters will pick a candidate like him... presently, it looks like Ron DeSantis gets the crown.

De Santis is at most 5’6” tall and has lately ballooned to obese levels. As unfair as it may be, short, fat candidates don’t do well in Presidential races.

The Media age.

Just sayin'.

Out of all the 2016 GOP primary candidates, Trump was the only one who could not win against Hillary.

Yet their message of hate was so strong that he did win.

They knew what he was then. It sure seems as if fealty to TFG remains a significant factor in thug primary races.

Yet here we are...

A lot of Republicans certainly didn't want him specifically in power (especially after they realized how crazy he was), but they wanted someone very similar to him. They deliberately created the sociopolitical environment that led to Trump's ascendancy, and the only thing that wasn't part of their plan was the top job getting sniped by someone they couldn't control.

On the whole, the "anti-Trump" Republicans are probably a lot more pleased with his performance than they claim to be; they've certainly learned some valuable lessons for next time.

They could probability prevent him from winning though.

One thing I wonder about is states' & political parties' ability to keep names off of primary ballots.

Gotta remember the biggest asset we have: OUR NUMBERS! There are more of us than there are of the bad guys. And if trump insists on forcing himself into the race again, there are enough moderate GOPers to create division and disharmony within their own ranks. Which we should EXPLOIT. BIGTIME!!!

..but if the GOP controlled state legislatures, legislate themselves full control over the elections, it won't be a fair race. I understand a lot of traditional Republicans want him out but the people who would vote for the crazy ******* far outnumber them. And that's assuming he runs...and if he doesn't run, who'll be the candidate? DeSantas? Hell, he's crazier than Trump.

Donald brings out the stupid in his/GOP base.

The GOP needs the stupids to vote to win.

is screwed

(wishful thinking?)

By far the most real, grave and present danger that Donald Trump poses to our nation is in a political, legal and constitutional sense; he is taking our country down the slippery slope towards fascism and autocracy. And I'm not sure that the American people have the intelligence, wisdom or political will to resist his siren calls of demagoguery. And so, I am all for any way that Trump can be taken down, hopefully by legal indictments from the New York or Georgia AGs, or the January 6 Committee, or any or all of them. TRUMP MUST BE STOPPED!

Watergate should have buried the GQP for decades but it didn't...now, here we are again.

I don't think there is a chance in hell that trump will win reelection, he's never won the popular vote yet and he's not gaining any new followers and he's killed off a lot of the folks that would vote for him in the future. That said, DeSantis scares the hell out of me...

..even wants to run again. He keeps stirring the pot to keep the money coming in for sure. If 2022 puts enough Cult members in state legislatures to corrupt the 2024 election, he might run. If the GOP regains control of Congress, he might run. All contingent on him being capable of running...
