United States Politics: ∆τ_i*ε*φ*m_i<0 where ε=4 and φ=0.25

It’s a little sad (well not really but humor the post) how some see Trump as a revolutionary paradigm shifting figure. But all those figures in the past were guys in their 20s. Trump is an old ass man in his 70s. People are so desperate for a savior, and Trump is their only guy.

Trumps message to the GOP:
"Either impeach the bum or fade into Oblivion"

Holy shit

[PhoenixDark]

The mugshot is not something that can be replicated IMO. All the indictments are in, and there likely won't be any major movement on any of those fronts until the trials which are all slated for post-Iowa 2024 iirc. In short Trump is kind of running out of attention grabbing moments. Can I imagine him doing a Hannity interview during the next republican debate? Sure. After that...I think he should debate. Vivek's performance made it clear that the media is doubling down on the format that helped Trump dominate last time. Does he risk taking damage on issues he's vulnerable on with conservatives (shut downs, Fauci, draining the swamp, the wall, etc)? Sure. But it's worth pointing out every republican primary voter in the country is already familiar with those things, yet the vast majority of them still support Trump.

If he's gonna lose support it's going to be due to him being embarrassed in a confrontation, but I don't see anyone on that stage who can do that to him. Christie would try. Would DeSantis? No. He should get serious and start preparing for the second or third debate.

I maintain that the simplest way to defeat trump in a primary debate is to just belittle him constantly about his age, weight and other flaws. Republicans are too shit to do it though.

[benji]

He's forging a very difficult path to an electoral victory though that could cost him "establishment" Republicans and even evangelicals.
The big question will be if Trump pivots back to a somewhat 'normal' Republican platform after the primary like he did in 2020 or if he double downs on the current more risky path.

Trump up 2 over Biden in a 2 way race, up 5 over Biden in a 3 way race.

MSNBC:

Trial date is now set for literally the day before Super Tuesday, they're not even even trying to hide their goal of election interference anymore.

When you commit crimes you don't get to dictate when your trial is held. No normal person gets to say wait a minute I have work that day, I can't attend trial so pick another date.  

[benji]

He should definitely sue the federal government for when the trial starting boosts his poll numbers on Super Tuesday.

lmaooo someone just needs to punch this guy.

I don’t know what’s more patronizing. Republicans saying Trump will get the black vote for the mugshot. Or Hillary pretending she carries around hot sauce in her purse. Or… actually too many examples come to mind. In the next ten weeks, I fully expect Vivek to unprompted talk about seasoning his chicken.

[Uncle]

I feel like trump bumbled his way into the presidency through outsider weirdness, shock and some inscrutable charisma

vivek feels like a techbro who analyzed all the trump data and crunched the numbers and is running the same trump program with more efficiency, clean and by the book, the first actual threat enabled by trump who could get up to insane shenanigans if he gets into power

which is a shame he has to be this way, as a morrowind fan

[PhoenixDark]

2012 redux. All the donors were begging for Rick Perry and others to join the race, only for them to flop.

Trump's general election problem is that he's utterly toxic amongst women and suburban voters. We've now had multiple elections where large groups of people show up solely to vote against him and his recommended candidates. I'm seeing Biden ads in Michigan already, nailing him on abortion. I don't care what random polls say right now: Trump is fucked unless the economy simply implodes. And given that we're on pace for 6% GDP growth and inflation keeps falling going into the holidays...I doubt that happens. 

The other problem with Trump is that some of the important states he won in 2016 are now nearly completely controlled by democrats, who are ensuring early voting will be open for the election. He's not winning MI or PA. And without PA he can't get to 270. He's probably not winning WI.

At this point it's Trump or bust.

If Trump doesn't win against a candidate that can barely talk or walk, the majority of the US simply supports the open borders, degrowth 'build back better' policies and a woke future fed to them by bureaucrats and corporations. In that case the power shift to the yasss queens and triggered NPC's is just too far along to change it and their revolution is complete.

Yeah, Trump did such a great job rolling back the deep state, draining the swamp and making deals he's the only thing standing between America and the final completion of the centuries long Progressive-bureaucratic-industrial-complex managerial state acquiring half of resources of the country.

But he's gonna try really hard this time, now that he knows where everything is!

I don't think it's Trump or bust. I think we're seeing multiple forces tacitly admit they want Trump. If republicans were serious about stopping him, they would have twisted arms to prevent troll candidates and eliminated repetitive candidates. Haley and Scott are the same candidate, for instance. They're both trying to pretend to be normal republicans, they're both from South Carolina, and they both like men.

On a similar spectrum, the No Labels types are threatening to run a third party candidate if it's Biden v Trump. They clearly want Trump to win for corporate reasons (taxes, fundraising, more news presence, etc) but they can't say it out loud. Just as republican power brokers can't say out loud that Trump is the most powerful republican figure, and another fluke of fate could put him in the WH again. Now do I think he has any chance in a general? Hell no. But I like his chances more than DeSantis, who is a complete loser.

[Nintex]

DeSantis runs to the right of Trump, that is a losing proposition. We're already past the point that you can win if you threaten to cut welfare benefits. Also Trump likely won't endorse him if he's forced to drop out or loses the primary. Instead he'll probably go apeshit, run as an independent and campaign harder against DeSantis than he will against Biden. However the one type of candidate with less chances of winning than DeSantis is a RINO.

The US economy is running on borrowed time. The way I see it by the time voting starts the US will simply have been dragged into a recession because Europe, South America and China can't stay afloat. Lots of money will be invested into AI things specifically designed to put people out of work. Ukraine will have lost the war or rather ran out of tanks and soldiers to drive into minefields.

Of course Trumps campaign could derail if the January 6th case against him actually yields results.

Any uprising from within the Republican party against Trump is doomed to fail, Mitch is a walking corpse. Without Trump the party is rudderless, leaderless and broke.
