Wouldn't a Trump candidacy in 2024 be the greatest gift to the Democrats imaginable?

Asked by HP (6425points) August 10th, 2022

With Mar a Lago now acknowledged as a probable crime scene, and an entire slew of lawsuits and criminal investigations CONSTANTLY in the news, what are the Great Pumpkin’s prospects?

He would have to get nominated as a Republican candidate first, or run as an independent.
Who acknowledged Mar a Lago as a “probable” crime scene? The Trumpers??
I’ll believe it when I see it!

I don’t think so. Honestly I think he continues to be a Democrat’s nightmare as all these cases are in their infancy with no convictions. See below.

It would terrify me if he ran again. I could not believe he was elected the first time. What was wrong with those people??? And they’re still out there.

You mean a roaring economy, low unemployment for black teenagers, energy
independence, lower risk of nuclear war, hope… but the mean tweets!

Wait, what?

Yes, considering that he has already lost to a weak president who declares a historically difficult time when everything depended on him.

Run pipelines through South America and later jointly declare an embargo on Russian energy resources! But it’s certainly not worth it. After all, it is so important that this continent does not become prosperous. Only prostitutes attacks.

And @HP. I am first who give you Great Question.

I’m just waiting to see how this FBI raid thing plays out. I don’t see Trump running again but his base is being energized by the idea he is being harassed.

I don’t think so too many Trumpers that cling to his every lie, would still vote for him even if they caught him raping their mother.

I know very little about the American struggle of the souls of Republicans and Democrats. I do not know for whom a Trumper is an outcast and for whom a healthy choice.

But if my mother loved Trump very much and someone with disdain and dislike would call her Trumper. Having no political views, I would have been forced to vote for Trump on principle. Maybe many people support him along the same path.

@freguarUK He got along with Putin, so maybe you wouldn’t like him. :)

I just can’t stop laughing out loud at this question! I love it and it’s so funny, thanks @HP :D
@hat “Oh god, here we ago again.” priceless lol!

RayaHope's avatar

@hat I know…that’s what makes it even funnier! :)

HP's avatar

Laugh while you can. The clown show continues.

It would. They’d be hard-pressed to lose against Trump . . . but I don’t think it will happen, after Trump is found to have taken government records. That bars people from holding public office.

SQUEEKY2's avatar

@Zaku Lets hope the Authorities can make that stick.

JLeslie's avatar

No! Just stop with trying to help candidates who are lunatics because you think it’s a sure bet we can beat them. It’s a horrible risk and bad for the country.

@Zaku Come voting day, no one will care whether the pumpkin took government records. If Trump does run, just as with his prior Presidency, it will be a test of whether he ACTUALLY might gun a man down at high noon on 5th ave. and suffer no consequences at the polls. My own take is that on election day 2024, Trump will have suffered so many convictions and setbacks, both criminal and civil, that he will be either out on appeal, or campaigning from prison. It is actually a fascinating thing to watch. Our country’s FIRST openly criminal President, whose monumental achievement has been the singlehanded conversion of the party of Lincoln to the most powerful syndicate in the history of organized crime.

@HP There is a law:

’‘Federal statute 18 U.S. Code 2071 had long banned the removal, concealment or destruction of presidential records. It says “willfully and unlawfully” removing such records can result in a penalty of up to three years in prison and that the defendant “shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.”’’ ( https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2022/can-donald-trump-run-for-president-if-charged-and-convicted-of-removing-official-records/ )

But it would likely lead to a legal battle about it.

Our takes on Trump’s prospects for prison, disgrace, or re-election, are about the same.

This bullshit about the duplicitous pig’s persecution defies common sense.
