I believe that Donald Trump will be the last Republican president many of us will ever see in our lifetimes. We hope that he will serve two terms, but even that is not a given, despite his popularity both personally and of his MAGA agenda. I’ll call it the three D’s, in honor of Trump’s first name Donald – demeanor, demographics, and deception. (snip)...In other words, Trump is a one-off, an exception. Unlike Obama, Trump is the one we have been waiting for, after a string of wet noodles named Bush, Romney, McCain, and Ryan to name a few. But the Republican bench is thin. Who is the heir apparent? I don’t see anyone with the charisma, fire in the belly, energy, and commitment to conservative principles and values.

“Wish we could replace RBG. Nuke in a replacement, quick.”
Yep. Barrett is on deck. Thomas is no spring chicken, and would like to retire, I think. It would be nice for Trump and Thomas to choose his young replacement.
Amen.
And haven’t seen much repenting going on.............
Can’t see any way he can win in 2020, especially since the Rust Belt has returned to blue.....
What is wrong with the other posters on this stupid thread?
And when FDR was president, there was talk of NEVER having another GOP president, nor even another Dem, until he died!
Factual historical knowledge, on this thread, appears to be just about non-existent.
There are days, like today, when I’m glad I’m old.
“We’ve been on a managed decline for a while.”
I was born in 1956. I can honestly say that with a few little positive bumps here and there, the nation has been in decline for my entire life. The high point was when I was born. I will likely live to see the end of it.
Our anti-NWO President has many pro-NWO enemies.
Just another of his endearing qualities.
But the Republican bench is thin. Who is the heir apparent?

Well, news at 11:00 - the RAT bench is even THINNER. Who do they have who’s not a raving moonbat or pushing 80?
“I am concerned common sense has departed the suburbs, Texas, Florida and a few other spots that looked strong. “
Pretty sure that’s the gift of massive 3rd world immigration.
The way Trump is, is due to when and WHERE he grew up.
Yes, Don Jr. has it, to some extent, but ONLY because he learned it at his father's knee. OTOH...spoiled little Ivanka, the apple of her father's eye, got NONE of it at all.
Obama was the raving moonbat of all raging moonbats...and not even an American. He was elected easily...twice. Why do you think a raging moonbat is not electable, when most Americans are now themselves raging moonbats?
You’re blind and useless.
He either will be or he won’t be. There are no other possibilities.
With far too damned many of them still right here on this site; sadly.
I hate to say it but the Left is more committed than we are and the politicians they elect PLAY TO WIN. They are aggressive and determined in ways that we are not. Therein lies our key weakness. We turn the other cheek too much.
If we want to win and prevail, we’re going to have to learn to go on offense and never back down. Trump is doing just that, and so did Reagan. That’s why they were winners. Unfortunately, the mindset ingrained into the GOP is one of accommodation, compromise, and worst of all, fear of criticism.
GOP voters have some serious soul searching to do. And they need to elect strong, principled, and results oriented people who will appeal to independents. We are headed for political extinction if we don’t change our ways.
Who is inelligible?
“Trump is NOT going to lose in 2020!”
I wish that were true. He won’t get 45% in Nevada, but he lost it before, so that doesn’t matter much. Arizona, North Carolina, Florida, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan...he needs those. We just had a D +9 turnout. 2020 is going to magnitudes of order harder to win than 2016 was.
Yep, there are still some.
One lasted far too long. He’s still banned. Which is good.
There’s some smaller ones, New Hampshire and Minnesota. Things can change though, if we could get all minorities who self-identify as conservative, we’d demolish the Democrats in 48 states.
Agree unless we all get our shit together and do something about it.
“demographics are destiny & 40 years of massive, endless LEGAL third world immigration has sealed our fate”.
Don’t forget the socialist/communist, hate America, hate the white founding fathers indoctrination that has/is been going on in the public schools and universities. The chickens are sure heading home to roost now.
One thing Trump should do is abolish the Fed. Dept. of Ed and return it to the States. Think all the above is just a random leftist teacher or Professor here and there? Read “The Deliberate Dumbing Down of American Education” by Charlotte Iserbyte. 750 pages of documentation out of the Dept. of Ed.
