Would Donald Trump Ditch the GOP and Start His Own Party in 2024?
The National Interest ^ | 08/02/2020

Posted on 08/02/2020 8:17:42 PM PDT by Kevin in California

Imagine this: Donald Trump loses the 2020 election and runs again in 2020 under his own party. Don't think it can't happen? History says it could.

The presidential election of 1912 was one of the only cases where one of the top-two competitors didn’t represent a major political party -- the Democrats or the Republicans. Although a Democrat took the White House, a member of the Bull Moose Party trailed behind, receiving nearly 30 percent of the popular vote.

I prefer “simpleton.” Sounds less harsh;
Means just as dimwitted

Imagine there is no Donald,
It’s easy if you try,
No MAGA hats filling rallys,
Flaming courtroom light the sky.
Imagine all the people, watching CNN.

You may say I am a Marxist,
But I’m not the only one,
I hope some day we’ll defeat Trump.

And then America will be a stinking cesspool of socialist tyranny and we will take away our guns, make abortion legal through the first week of birth, raise taxes to 99% of income, make everyone take transit and live stacked in 10 story buildings and prevent anyone from visiting the outdoors, and close all the churches, and disband the military while decomissioning all nuclear weapons, and legalizing all drugs.

“Hopefully it will be a decisive reelection victory for President Trump. Perhaps America will realize that Democrats have gone too far left so they will pay the price on Election Day.”

Me thinks no voter ID, no Trump in 2020.Please convince me that I’m wrong.

You need ID just to walk down the street, but not to vote. Go figure.

I skipped voting in 2012.What would have been the point?

I live in NY and just gave up. However, I got my butt right down to the polling place in 2016 and voted for Hillary. Just kidding. :)

American Conservatives deserve an new party.
The New Party of American Conservatives. I have said it before. The NPAC or something else similar. Face it Republican is a dirty word. It does not describe me well. Trump would be too old in 2024 to run for President but not to old to speak out and help shape policy moving forward.

“...... runs again in 2020 under his own party.....”

(I’m assuming 2024)

No, he has nothing to prove. He has a business man’s mentality, not a politician’s. If he was to lose in 2020 he still would be seen and heard while he makes his next billion. A businessman lives off his successes even if they don’t appear that way. A politician has to win every time, not get a close second. Businessman Trump is happy with three quarters of a billion if its profit. And he will get the other quarter later without you knowing it. It’s all supply and demand for him. Pride is winning any amount as long as it is winning. Politicians have no pride due to ego. And liberals have no opponents...just enemies.

The GOP is dead. It’s already DJT’s party. Landslide ahead.

He has the capital, charisma, and capability to start the American version of twitter, google, fox news, as well as American baseball/basketball/football/golf leagues. Leftist institutions have sucked America so dry there is a huge market vacuum to be filled, and fast billions to be made.

Funny you should mention a DeLorean.

Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ is built on the 500+ acre site of an estate that was previously owned by a John DeLorean.

Trump is 74. After this election he is done. He will probably figure a new business plan for his kids. But he is not organizing a new party.

Is this designed to scare NeverTrumper into voting for Trump in 2020 so he doesn’t run again in 2024?

BTW if he were to lose this year, and run again in 2024, he would seek and win the Republican nomination.

Is anyone awake?

Everyone seems to be grading a term paper and concentrating on misspellings when the thesis relates to overthrowing the government.

If Pres Trump loses, there wouldn't be future democratic (small d) elections. The executive will establish strong-arm rules to eliminate Bill of Rights. “1984” will be a pleasant memory in comparison.

” Leftist institutions have sucked America so dry there is a huge market vacuum to be filled, and fast billions to be made.”

He doesn’t need to be forward. Donald Trump’s net worth is estimated to be around $3 billion. The majority of Trump’s income comes from golf courses, which brought him more than $246 million in income in 2017, alone. Although Trump doesn’t own many of the buildings carrying his name, he makes money from licensing agreements.

To get a better idea, this site might help:

https://www.investopedia.com/updates/donald-trump-companies/

And according to Forbes, Trump in comparison of worth is 766th in the world, 248th in the U.S. in 2018. As he was president, he is not allowed many of the earnings he had to give up. But there is always some confusion on how much as it is not all findable. Bloomberg Billionaires Index listed Trump’s net worth as $2.48 billion on May 31, 2018, and Wealth-X listed it as at least $3.8 billion on July 16, 2018. It’s kind of hard to misplace a billion dollars, but leave it to Bloomberg.
