President Donald Trump, although constitutionally barred from serving a third term,

If the 22nd Amendment gets repealed, all bets are off. Prohibition (the 18th Amendment) was understood to be forever . . . but then along came the 21st Amendment, repealing it.

Not saying repeal of the 22nd is likely. But it is technically conceivable, regardless of what the Internet community says, declares, or thinks.

Personally, I'd be on board with a JD Vance presidency after Pres. Trump. Vance being a Marine is a plus, in the crazy world we find ourselves in.

Dark horse - Roy Cooper.

He’s running for Senate in 2026 and will probably win.

He'll win the Senate in 2026.

100%. Especially since Lara Trump is not running.

For 2028. Dark horse - I see that possibility. He's like Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter. A Southern Governor who's not a progressive. So he'll do well nationally. But the party has drifted left. So no chance He'll win the support from the base.

Obama will anoint Wes Moore as his heir and the rest will step aside.

“gamblers believe the runaway leader for the GOP nod will lose in November to a Democrat.”

That’s weird, considering we have strong potential candidates lined up, and the article says the RATs have nobody.

Very Clintonian in his ability to deceive.

He’s as far left as they come, but puts on a “mainstream” persona. Despite pursuing a far-left agenda the vast majority of Kentucky opposes, his current approval rating is 68% - pretty much where it has been since COVID.

He looks like some cartoon character but I can’t think of which one.

A good bet, but not the farm, would be to go long the rest of the Dem field at 22% and short the list of top Dems who get 78%.

The current gamble numbers on Vance and Rubio seems about right on their individual odds. One thing for sure is that Rubio and Vance will hurt themselves if they start becoming rivals instead of good teammates. And they would be fools before the Midterms to ever give any hint of disunity. If either of them is ever tempted to feel any disunity then they should go pay Chuck Schumer a visit and remember what contention is really like.

24 campus visited this semester.

Over 1 billion social media views.

Tens of thousands of Gen Z voters registered.

Over 250K low prop votes chased.

Countless minds changed.

We left it all out on the field.

Let’s win.

Trump voters are fickle. They will vote only when Trump is on the ballot.

Trump's successor will have the challenge in keeping MAGA coalition and getting them out to vote.

Gavin Newsom or whoever is the Democrat will have the party faithful to show up no matter what.

What are the odds of the Dmwocrats falling below 34 Senate seats or 146 House seats between now and early 2028? Zero, and even then the GOPe will be more than happy to ensure that the 22nd does not get repealed. It’s so distracting that this idea ever comes up. It’s like people thinking about the odds of getting hypothermia during the middle of the day in July in Death Valley, California.

So on the Dim side you have a scumbag grift, a commie idiot, and a mentally ill chest feeder.
I sure hope Vance or Rubio has this in the bag and ensures at least a partial continuation of winning policies.
