Our constitutional crisis is already here....(Donald Trump will be the Rep. candidate for president in 2024)
Washington Post ^ | 9/23/2021 | James Madison

Posted on 09/24/2021 10:53:17 PM PDT by caww

The US is heading into its greatest political and constitutional crisis since the Civil War, with a reasonable chance over the next three to four years of incidents of mass violence, a breakdown of federal authority, and the division of the country into warring red and blue enclaves.... The warning signs may be obscured by the distractions of politics, the pandemic, the economy and global crises, and by wishful thinking and denial. But about these things there should be no doubt:

First, Trump will be the Rep. candidate for president in 2024...He enjoys mammoth leads in the polls; he is building a massive campaign war chest. Barring health problems, he is running.

Second, Trump and his Rep. allies are preparing to ensure his victory by whatever means necessary...

... in 14 months if, as seems likely, the Rep. zombie party wins control of the House. At that point, with the political winds clearly blowing in his favor, Trump is all but certain to announce his candidacy, and social media constraints on his speech are likely to be lifted, since Facebook and Twitter would have a hard time justifying censoring his campaign. With his megaphone back, Trump would again dominate news, as outlets prove unable to resist covering him around the clock if only for financial reasons.

But this time, Trump would have advantages lacked in 2016 and 2020, including more loyal officials in state and local governments; the Republicans in Congress; and the backing of GOP donors, think tanks and journals of opinion. And he will have the Trump movement, including many who are armed and ready to be activated, again. Who is going to stop him then? On its current trajectory, the 2024 Republican Party will make the 2020 Republican Party seem positively defiant.

I understood that when I posted it. It’s nonetheless interesting to see how in their thinking Trump can win.

It’s simply another perspective....and one I found interesting. I don’t always read articles with a conservative bend but prefer to see others as well.

I have no issues with you posting this. Thanks for putting it up on FR. I actually read the entire article. I just detest neocon’s like Kagan.

What part of this do people not get? Direct from Trump himself

Thank you for understanding. I want to know how they're thinking not just the few lines in an interview that's always jacked up by those interviewing them and often with basically a pre-arranged script. This guy wrote at length what he was thinking and that was interesting since he believes Trump will run and win.

I was wondering why “James Madison” is up there in the author’s name spot.

No, liar Kagan; that was your side. Quit projecting.

Washington Compost drama queen. They want nothing more than all of the above and crisis 24/7. BTW, I am so sceptical of the system that Trump could get 100 million votes and still “lose”.

That’s fine....but how do you get all that through the courts with this Administration?

Well I like to see other opinions which aren’t for Trump but still think he will win. This is one of those and interesting to see how he thinks.

Well it’s pretty much a dramatic time in history....even on FR people get their pants in a knot and write here about it. But I also share your concern of our election system. Just seems they all want to “fix” the system in such a way that’s favorable to them...not the people.

You can fight hard and dirty and still be legal. I think that’s the point.

I can’t argue that....however we don’t know what Trump will bring to the forefront as alternatives and there’s still time...and in the right time.

What condescending, patronizing, paranoid and hate-filled blather from this author. The chattering class really regards the rest of us as subhuman.

Since we became a country it’s estimated that there have been 600 million Americans. That’s how many people will “vote” for the 2024 Democrat.

Donald Trump could, actually, die, before or during the ‘24 election. He could change his mind and decide to not run for’24 POTUS, for any number of reasons. The Definite Future is unknown, on most things, and politics has many very strange/uncertain moments, too.
