Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Vance won't be the candidate and everyone knows it but Vance.
I'd bet on Tucker Carlson. 🤢
It's going to be Donald Trump Jr. They won't even need to change the hats.
I fear it'll still be Trump, assuming he's alive
Is it in any way legal? No. Has that stopped him yet? Also no.
I really want him to think he's going to run again so that he'll undermine anyone else that tries to run. And then he can croak or something after ruining the primaries and getting his followers to hate any would be successor.
I've stopped being so hopeful. The best I can hope for at this point is President Camacho
He actually listened to the experts.
As we all should.
That was one of the most unbelievable aspects of that movie.
There was like 500 years of people not listening to experts in between. It was bound to happen at some point.
He gets to the debates, then zones out and literally shits his diaper (audibly).
I don't even think Trump can legally be president today.
And on top of what you said, there's also the possibility that Trump will be alive but too senile to run.
He can't legally run. He also has yet to be actually stopped from any of his other actions that are blatantly illegal so there is zero proof that he'll stop now
The 14th Amendment doesn't say that he can't run. It says that he can't hold any office. Trump has a "disability" from when he engaged in insurrection by intentionally inciting it, and that disability has not been removed by Congress.
This disability does not require he be convicted of any crime. Instead, the 14th Amendment simply requires that Congress enforce the Amendment:
Donald Trump cannot legally hold any office under the United States. He cannot legally be president. The only reason he's able to act like the president now is that Congress is not enforcing the Constitution.
I wouldn't be surprised if, at some point in the future, perhaps even after Trump passes away, Congress finally grows some backbone and enforces the amendment, just to try to make up for the embarrassment that Trump causes us, similar to how the Germans would rather not remember that Hitler had been the Chancellor of Germany. Trump might be retroactively declared to have never been the president after January 6, 2021, and I think that would be in line with what is written in the Constitution.
I agree but I don't think Trump's body will hold out that long before collapsing from being treated like the dumpster it is.
With Marg as VP?
