And Haley has shown she's quite willing to do just that. Nikki Haley Embraces Trump in Her Vision of GOP Future Nikki needs to put on her 'man' pants (meant in a gender neutral way - not saying she has to be a man) and either run or not regardless of what Trump does or doesn't do. She moves away from trump when it is in her best interests but defends him when she thinks she can get more street cred wt the far right. She can't have it both ways Be a Reagan republican or a Trump nationalist. 2 Link to comment

TGHusker Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 Biden support is slipping. If things continue, I expect the GOP to take back the house and senate. That will doom him for the remainder of his term. Trump, if he wants to, will become a lock for the nomination and potentially the WH. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/21/bidens-support-fading-fast-as-cnbc-survey-finds-concerns-on-the-economy-covid-and-inflation.html Quote Just 41% of the public approve of President Joe Biden’s job performance, compared with 52% who disapprove, according to the CNBC All-America Economic Survey. Fifty percent now approve of his Covid-19 handling, compared with 53% in July, and 45% disapprove, compared with just 38%. Inflation now ties with the coronavirus as the biggest concern for Americans, up 16 points from the prior survey. 1 Link to comment

TGHusker Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/the-one-reason-why-donald-trump-is-guaranteed-to-run-for-president/ar-AAPVVf0?ocid=entnewsntp Quote DeSantis and Pompeo are still playing the waiting game to see if any unfortunate events befall Trump, but they need to be careful lest they anger the boss and ruin their chances to run as his VP, which they will be happy to do, all the while winking and nodding at the right-wing power brokers that they'll be sure to keep Trump in line. Fat chance. There are several obvious reasons why Trump is so dead set on running again. The first is his obsession with vengeance, particularly for what he perceives as disloyalty. This explains why he spends just as much time slamming RINOs (Republicans In Name Only), whom he claims betrayed him, as he does Democrats. This is a deeply held philosophy that Trump has made plain for many years. An even bigger motivation for Trump to run is the fact that his "grandiose narcissism" will not allow him to admit that he lost in 2020. Personality psychologist Evita March explained how this works shortly after election: The grandiose narcissist is competitive, dominant, and has an inflated positive self-image regarding their own skills, abilities, and attributes. What's more, grandiose narcissists tend to have higher self-esteem and inflated self-worth. For the grandiose narcissist, defeat may compromise this inflated self-worth. According to researchers from Israel, these people find setbacks in achievement particularly threatening, as these setbacks could indicate a "failure to keep up with the competition". Instead of accepting personal responsibility for failure and defeat, these individuals externalize blame, attributing personal setbacks and failures to the shortcomings of others. They do not, or even cannot, recognize and acknowledge the failure could be their own. Based on the profile of the grandiose narcissist, the inability to accept defeat may best be characterized by an attempt to protect the grandiose positive self-image. Their dominance, denial of weaknesses, and tendency to devalue others results in a lack of comprehension it's even possible for them to lose. If you read the blizzard of statements he releases every day, it's clear that Trump spends most of his days obsessing over the Big Lie. He's now demanding that Republicans endorse his delusion or risk his wrath and his followers' rejection. It's not enough for him to believe it, he needs everyone else to validate that belief. And he has to run again — and win — in order to finally make the Big Lie true. To that end, he is working the system night and day to make sure he has loyalists planted in all the swing states to make sure that happens. Link to comment

Well yeah, if they did that they'd vote for Democrats. Can't have that! It's a slippery slope to the wealthy paying taxes, a higher living standard citizens in Europe enjoy, and god knows what else. 2 Link to comment

TGHusker Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share Posted November 22, 2021 If the Dems can't find someone better than Biden, then I think they might as well let the GOP into the WH to measure the carpet in the oval office. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-and-aides-tell-allies-he-is-running-in-2024-amid-growing-democratic-fears/ar-AAQWr92 Quote President Biden and members of his inner circle have reassured allies in recent days that he plans to run for reelection in 2024, as they take steps to deflect concern about the 79-year-old president’s commitment to another campaign and growing Democratic fears of a coming Republican return to power. The efforts come as the broader Democratic community has become increasingly anxious after a bruising six-month stretch that has seen Biden’s national approval rating plummet more than a dozen points, into the low 40s, amid growing concerns about inflation, Democratic infighting in Washington and faltering public health efforts to move beyond the covid-19 pandemic. The message is aimed in part at tamping down the assumption among many Democrats that Biden may not seek reelection given his age and waning popularity, while also effectively freezing the field for Vice President Harris and other potential presidential hopefuls. 2 Link to comment
teachercd Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I still think it will not be Joe or Trump. I really think it will be the most wide open election we have seen in our lives. Of course, I am wrong about most things so... 1 Link to comment

Lots of time for either party to change the course of public opinion. Even for 2022 elections 1 Link to comment
