It’s either gonna be Trump or DeSantis, preferably Trump as I would rather see DeSantis win in ‘28, but if either of them are at the top of the GOP ticket come November of next year, that is who I vote for. Otherwise, 3rd party. I’m done with the GOP.

Trump is going to EASILY get the GOP nomination so why speculate on an impossibility?

America and the World need Trump. At present we are on our way to financial disaster.

In an era when elections are decided by extremely narrow margins, an independent candidate with a following can swing the general election. Notable examples:

George Wallace split the Democrat vote in 1968 and 1972, giving the Republican, Richard Nixon the win. In 1972 Nixon won in a landslide.

Ross Perot, running as an independent, took enough conservative votes from Republicans George H.W. Bush in 1992, and Bob Dole in 1996, to deliver the White House to Democrat Bill Clinton.

In the close election of 2000, Ralph Nader (Green Party) took enough Democrat votes to prevent Al Gore from winning the Florida recount. Bush won Florida in the recount by only 537 votes. Ralph Nader’s total count was 97,488 in Florida. Nader ran on a very liberal platform so it is almost certain had he not been on the ballot, most of the 97,488 Nader votes would have gone to Gore, sending him to the White House.

In 2024, if Trump does not get the GOP nomination, and decides to run as an independent, he will almost certainly ensure a Democrat win by taking significant ballots from the Republican candidate.

As long as Dominion is permitted to exist and as long as mail-in ballots and other f*ckery is permitted, elections are BS.

Trump can’t win with 25% of the GOP voters.

It bears repeating:

The “Only Trumpers” are just as irrational and damaging to the conservative cause as are the “Never Trumpers”

I would but I don’t think Trump would do it.

Not voting for anyone who runs against Trump in 2024.

They’re geniuses and “very savvy.” Maybe they should go ahead and write Putin in on their ballots. Maybe they should demand to have the mullahs and Xi on the ballot, too. I’m sure that they could pull it off by disseminating more retarded conspiracy theories and flaming Republicans in Q-friendly social media.

The political picture looks bleak indeed. There are too many people whose minds and bodies have become permanently insensitive from drug abuse and obsessive quest for the infinite orgasm.

Please get this thread directly to Trump. He needs to see the thoughts of the people who have voted and will vote for him again.
