I was just looking back at the first page of the Trump Presidency thread, and @bazalini and @Pogue Mahone got it absolutely right about how things would pan out. Other people were understandably assuming that he'd drop the act when he was actually elected. Turned out it wasn't an act at all, it's all he's got.
bloody hell penna of all the people in the world to tell they’re right why pick those two :lol:

Harris will not be on the ticket in 2024.
Unless something major happens she absolutely will. Not even taking into account her qualifications, it would be an complete betrayal of the demographic, African American woman, who paved the path to Biden's election.

If you watched The Trump Show on BBC, you can see that rallies is what he likes, all filled with a bunch of supporters who will cheer and do anything he asks and feed his ego. He would just go round holding rallies all term if he had the choice.
He will never stop those. They’ll just become more profitable after election and fund raising rules cease to constrain him.

He’s built a ****. Amongst a group of people that empty their wallets for evangelical preachers.

Hmm. I guess the word "elected" does indeed make it ambiguous... I do happen to think the intent of the lawmakers was clear but I'm no constitutional scholar. Or any scholar at all, really.
Ha, yea same, it’s interesting though.

The intent behind the 12th amendment wouldn’t factor in term limits though, which didn’t exist until a long time after.

The crazies - his hard core brainwashed supporters - don't control the bulk of the Republican political machine, only pockets here and there. With Trump out office, the machine will no longer be so much in thrall to him. And if the machine chooses against you, which it likely will when it comes to a choice about Trump again, then your chances are very low.
He literally beat that machine with the crazies in 2016, as a political nobody.

The crazies ARE the majority, they were emboldened by him and are all in on him. They elected Qanon believers to Congress, this election. Don’t hold any illusion about returning to normal when he’s out of office. Trumpism is the new normal.

Trump is the leader of the #Resistance against Biden

Retweet if you agree

Sooner they call this the better. His fanbase are just going to get more and more riled up and something will kick off sooner or later.

She’s not African American for starters. Jesus Christ dude.

America is broken.

Question for Americans, what the hell happens if Trump doesn't concede?
I think it makes the transition awfully complicated in terms of practical things. But other than that, his term is over at noon on Jan 19th and then either the person elected by the Electoral College takes oath and now holds the office, or the Speaker of the House does and that is Nancy Pelosi. It would fall to some agency of government to remove him from the White House, no one knows if that would be the Secret Service (would be my guess), the FBI, or somehow someone else (but not the military).

We have to depend on those yuppies?

I think Texas won't turn until they get a Democrat governor in there that makes voting much easier.
No, @Siorac is overstating Austin’s importance (and size) methinks. It is the increasing urbanization of the state via the Texas Triangle overall that will turn Texas blue. Though relying on Dallas and Houston to save our future is not much more comforting.

CNN claiming Mark Meadows is feeding Trump's delusion by continually parroting fraud claims. And Trump will not concede the election at any stage.
Trump will never concede at any stage. Even on the inauguration day for Biden in January, he will not concede. He will simply leave the Whitehouse (or else be escorted out) and continue to stoke the fires of civil war.
