I think he will, but there might be a real primary challenge.

        No. They are susceptible to be influenced and manipulated by populist ideas. If it isn’t Trump someone else will do the same with them.

            true, but i think the comment aims more at “it doesn’t have to be this specific con man, they’d fall for other con men too just the same way”

              My point is that anyone can be conned by the right con man. Our status as Trump opposers does not render us immune to malicious deceit.

              I don’t mean to excuse the trumpists entirely. I’m just pointing out that without Trump to focus them, they don’t become radicalized, and never become a problem.

                Trump voters are the victim of a con, but the con is bigger than Trump. Conservatism in general is a con that needs misinformation networks like talk radio, fox news, facebook groups, etc. Without having been steeped in that bullshit for 40+ years, Trump would never have succeeded. It’s the whole ecosystem that’s doing the radicalization, not just Trump.

    I don’t think so. Republicans are both spineless cowards and vicious bullies. When the Trump fever finally breaks from losing again as well as his legal troubles, expect the backlash to be swift and bloody.

    Trump will ALWAYS be able to Run! He’s the FASTEST runner! Some people say he should be in the Olympics at running but he’s too nice to let those Younger Folks have all the Glory. Trump could be DEAD and his Legs will STILL be kicking and trying to Run right out of his Grave! He’s in the BEST shape of ANYONE probably in the Entire World!

    Maybe, but not under the GOP I think. Id bet on DeSantis at the moment, but who knows how the next four years shakes out
