Ramaswamy seemed to be campaigning to be tRumps running mate. Double nut job team.

I don’t agree, I think he is running for 2028 if Trump loses.

Either way it shows how a 2 party system can collapse once one of the 2 has been taken over by the extremists.

35-40% of the US electorate will vote republican regardless of who is leading it.

Trump will be the republican candidate and will then win the election against Biden because everybody is a moron and everything is f**ked.

I think the big issue is having all these candidates. The only way for a mainstream republican to win is to get behind one of the least offensive (probably Haley) candidate and give the party a clear choice. I suspect Trump would still win, but his opponent’s splitting the vote only makes it more likely.

The big issue is people trying to steal the vote.

Looks like it's possible to disqualify trump from standing

Republicans are going all out bto impeach biden, when they've not been offended by trump's antics it just highlights their hypocrisy. Last time they tried to revenge impeach bill Clinton won two terms, so trying to impeach won't win them the election. And it might be the best way of stopping trump cos it'll turn people off the republicans.

Sidney Powell flips and will testify against Trump…

And biden is going to make a speech about democracy at risk around the world. Might get those yanks thinking and using their brains.

A nice thought, but the people who believe Trump is the Chosen One are too far gone and just make everything fit their beliefs.

Powell flipping will just be more evidence of the Deep State doing all it can to thwart their hero.

heard an interesting thing on the radio last night that said something like if trump is convicted of six crimes in Georgia he has to serve jail time.

more circus , just one monkey.

Jim Jordan fails yet again! 

The GOP are simply unable to govern. 

[kalifire]

Kenneth Chesebro flips as well.

Its possible but can you imagine how it'll kick off if he is blocked from standing. I think that's the best way to go cos it'll kick off if he does stand.

Well the election is one year this week. So could be worth setting up soon enough.

It's going to kick off either way imo. Disqualify him and even if it's all legitimate given his atrocious behaviour after losing in 2020, it can only be painted as political suppression and will have some unintended consequences. By contrast, the thought of him winning again is hideous as he was dreadful as President and has dragged large swathes of the Republican Party with him.

It's all shoulda, coulda, woulda, but it seems as though when Trump left in 2021, even enough Republicans then would've been happy to ban him from running on their platform again, the top brass went "Eh, someone else will get rid of him for us" and now they seem stuck with him again. I mean ffs.

In terms of the polls above, I noted prior ones saying in November 2011 that Obama would lose 2012, that November 2015 polls were saying Hillary to win 2016, and that November 2019's polls were saying a Trump 2020 win. So there's time for Biden to turn it around, though does seem like he'll need a lot to make it happen.

I think Democrats need to find someone other than Biden.

it might be better to have the trouble kick off without trump in power. than with him in power.

Any suggestions? Doesn't look like there's a viable challenger in the upcoming primaries that'll be held in the first half of next year.

Well we saw how hard it was to get him out of the White House 3 years ago, so I'm aware he's a bit of a troublemaker. And indeed was getting admonished for repeatedly going off topic and misremembering facts in one of his 307 trials yesterday.

No idea, but Biden looks and acts very old now, and it's only going to get worse.
