I have a feeling he's going to and perhaps will wait until after the mid-terms before deciding.
Also, if the States pass election integrity bills like Georgia then this may encourage him as he will have a clear shot without the fraud.
In fact he would be the favorite to WIN in my opinion against the pathetic Biden or Harris.
I'm quite excited to see what happens in the near future...
There is hope.
Trump won the popular vote in 2020 by a coupla million.
I've been a poll watcher since 2000, and I've been sent to the same precinct {demonRAT 400, pubbie 4 registered voters} and during the 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016 elections the pubbie never got more than 7% and that was Trump in 2016.
In 2020, Trump got 42% to slow joes 46%, so at the end of the night, even the demonRAT judge at the site said, "Well, it looks like a landslide for your guy" {Trump}.
This precinct was 99% registered demonRAT, and Trump got 42%. In my county, Trump won 65% to 33%, and if he got anywhere close to the count that I saw in the precinct, that I watch, it was a landslide.
I was on cloud nine until about 2 AM when the fix reared it's ugly head.
I'm in western PA and I know that we won the popular vote by at least 500,000 in PA, but no court has touched the evidence.
I doubt other states will have the courage to pass election reform after the example that was made of Georgia.
I think they will... lets see what happens.
These GOPers are hearing from their constituents who were outraged at what happened.
GA has stayed strong even with that pathetic governor.
“... there will be another real election..”
I am afraid that I agree with you, wattsgnu. If it worked this time, why not continue to do it again, again and again...
Look at this from the opportunity cost perspective.
I believe that the social media platform that DJT is launching will succeed beyond anyone’s expectations, including DJT’s, and not just in scale but also scope. The Dem Party, the corporate media, our Big Tech and increasingly other CEO overlords, teachers unions, higher education ... are all intent on driving away half of the country. An all out boycott will not work (these forces have too much monopoly power short term), and we should not be ceding these institutions to the left just yet. But the willingness and capacity of half of the country to defect to a DJT platform as opportunities unfold will stun.
I predict that this platform will be open, accessible, welcoming to all and attractive to innovators of all kinds — social media, fintech, open banking, digital identity management (know your customer, AML, anti-fraud, etc), content creation, and so much more. It will NOT target only those who are loyal to DJT but rather all those who distrust the Zuckerburgs, Dorseys, S. Abrams, Sulzbergers et al. of the world. This includes the global stage, because vast swaths of the world (including vulnerable dictators) do NOT want to import American wokeness.
I predict that its meteoric rise and stunning potential will be evident by 2021 Q4, if not in full then substantially.
I predict that DJT will tease us with running through much of 2023 and that he will be fully prepared to run all along. It will be a fully credible threat.
In the end, though, why would he put himself through h*ll for the last five really good years of his life by winning back the presidency? He would do well to pass the torch to DeSantis, Pompeo ... or even Haley, Rubio or Pence.
DJT’s last great project is back in the private sector. His prodigious talents as a public figure have been on full display since 2015, but his core competencies are as an investor and builder. We’ll see these over the next decade.
Depends entirely on if the states can enact election protection laws.
He might. After he serves his 2020 term. I’d love to give him a third term. 😉
Haley, Rubio & Pence are ALL RINO establishment leftists.
Only a RINO traitor would support these traitors.
Thanks for outing yourself...now slither back under your RINO rock.
I’m not so sure. It’s not easy running a platform ask Parler, Gab etc.
Simple, he is speaker for 2 years, purging RINOS from congress, and runs for the presidency in 2024.
Him being speaker is the ONLY way I see the GOP has any shot and not getting pasted in 2022.
Him on the ballot, with the referendum of him being speaker, and forcing every candidate to announce whether they will or will not support him nationalizes the midterms and would be about the only way the 10s of millions of voters the GOP just betrayed show up.
Why not just purge RINOs by recruiting people to run against them and defeat them in the primary? Be kingmaker for 2022 and then spend the next two years campaigning for the presidency in 2024. Why waste two years in the House?
Who says its one or the other?
If Trump is on the ballot you get the people who supported Trump in spite of the GOPe to show up...
If he’s not on the ballot, don’t think they will show up.
Waste 2 years in the house? 2 years a speaker is not NOTHING... controls the house agenda, and counters and calls out the stupidity of the Dems daily... You think Kevin McCarthy is going to do that? Please.
Trump ON THE BALLOT nationalizes the election... Trump not on the ballot... forget about it... the 10s of millions of loyal GOP voters who watch their party do nothing while an election was stolen, plus the Trump base (who is NOT THE GOP BASE) stay home.
If the speakership is a waste, tell me why Pelosi is so reviled?
Trump runs, every GOP running for house has to go ON THE RECORD during the election of whether or not they will support Trump... This allows those who won’t to be easily identified, destroyed in primaries or voted out in general.
Trump runs the house for 2 years, then returns to the white house in 2024.
This all presupposes a somewhat fair election in 2022 and beyond.
DeSantis may also be a good choice to run as VP with Trump.
Haley, Rubio & Pence are ALL RINO establishment leftists.
Only a RINO traitor would support these traitors.
Thanks for outing yourself...now slither back under your RINO rock.
*****************
Like you, I prefer DeSantis, Pompeo or a handful of others. We are on different pages, you and I, only to the extent that you want to banish these folks, whereas I prefer to co-opt them.
You will be profoundly disappointed by the events to come; and in short order — because I am confident that DJT is of the same mind as I am. In just the next few months he will reveal himself as such. You will feel betrayed by the very person to whom you are most loyal.
I would ask you to reconsider your punitive, unforgiving, unnecessary and ultimately self-defeating mindset. It simply does not work. Those who believe as you do are too few in number and strength that you can afford to caste off all those who depart in the slightest.
If he’s not on the ballot, don’t think they will show up.
In 434 congressional districts he won't be on the ballot.
Waste 2 years in the house? 2 years a speaker is not NOTHING... controls the house agenda, and counters and calls out the stupidity of the Dems daily... You think Kevin McCarthy is going to do that? Please.
Trump can call out the stupidity of the Dems from Mar-a-Lago, he doesn't need a House seat for that. And if he is elected then he immediately starts running for the presidency. How do you do Speaker stuff, much less the day to day Representative stuff, while doing that?
There will not be another legitimate election unless we take up arms against voter fraud.
Why would making a new law change anything?
The things done to steal the 20 election were already illegal,
but courts ignored the laws/constitution and Republican legislatures refused to step up! Good chance that this MLB pulling all-star game out of Ga is “uniparty “ funded effort to placate conservatives who will quickly forget that we no longer live in a free republic.
Trump isn't going to be elected speaker. He probably can't get elected to Congress from Palm Beach. He wouldn't be on the ballot in every state. And him running would cost Republicans as many votes as it gained them.
Trump outside Congress is a clear alternative to Biden. Trump in Congress would have to take the blame for everything Republicans did or didn't do while he was there. Trump outside of Congress hammering away at Biden or Harris has a chance of winning. Trump in Congress "purging" RINO's and being on the news everyday for two years doesn't.
People who got tired of him on TV everyday would still get tired of him on TV everyday. And he still wouldn't have his Facebook and Twitter platforms. Plus, he most likely doesn't want the job of speaker anyway, even if he could get it.
Juan More time...
Haley, Rubio & Pence are ALL RINO establishment leftists.
No pro-America conservative would ever support those traitors. EVER!
No slither back under your RINO rock!
RE-DeSantis and Trump are from the same state now, so it’s extremely unlikely they’d run together,
