If the Republican rank and file were to back Trump's candidacy, then it'd
guarantee their loss in 2024.

A Reuters/Ipsos survey showed that 40% of self-identified Republicans now
believe Trump was at least partly to blame for the Capitol Hill violence, "up
from 33% before the hearings began".

A New York Times/Siena College poll earlier this month reported that nearly
half of the Republicans quizzed said they would vote for someone other than
him in a primary. Among respondents under 35, the proportion rose to nearly
two-thirds.

Trump also seems to have lost the support of a significant media backer. US
media circles were “rocked” over the weekend after a US tabloid owned by
Rupert Murdoch issued an “excoriating editorial indictment” of Trump’s failure
to stop the 6 January attack on the Capitol. The New York Post editorial said
that “as a matter of principle, as a matter of character, Trump has proven
himself unworthy to be this country’s chief executive again”.

Looks like Trump will run again in 2024.

Surprisingly, in the US, you can run as a presidential candidate from jail.

Quote:

“When we’re talking about federal office, the limitations would really be political,
not legal,” said Kate Shaw, a professor of law at Cardozo Law. “The Constitution
actually is really clear about what the qualifications to run for president, or a
member of Congress or Senate are.”

Those qualifications—listed in Article Two of the Constitution—include being a
natural born citizen, being at least 35 years old, and having lived at least 14
years as a resident of the United States. A potential candidate’s carceral status,
however, is not listed in the Constitution as a requirement, nor is a candidate’s
criminal record. A Trump who has been convicted by the state or federal
government of a crime, then, is equally qualified to run as a Trump with no
criminal record—at least from a legal standpoint.

Beaten by 3 million votes in 2016. Thrashed by 7 million votes in 2020. Will it be 'annihilated by 10 million votes' in 2024? I can hardly wait

Why Rupert Murdoch Is Finally Done with Donald Trump

https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/07/25/rupert-murdoch-donald-trump-sp...

He's losing support all over the place - Fox "News", fellow Republicans, Republican voters, convicted child molesters, domestic terrorists. His base is abandoning him.

He lost by 3 million votes in 2016, 7 million votes in 2020, and if he runs again in 2024 he'll lose by at least 10 million votes.

I honestly hope he runs - it will be hilarious to watch him lose again.

I know, right? The question on everybody's lips, of course, is what he'll do if he loses.

Can he get the Vice Prez to send back the vote, do you think?

Will the Proud Boys stand by this time?

Can he get Karmala lynched?

Questions questions.
