Even if President Trump runs, there’s no guarantee he gets the nomination: There’s still a massive faction of anti-American and anti-Trump operatives in the GOP

Make no mistake about it, the Deep State runs through BOTH parties. The GOP will pull out all of the stops to derail the Trump Train.

As my son says, when discussing D.C. : It’s all one big party, and you aren’t invited!

RINOcrats are just as evil and treacherous as Demonicrats!

There’s also the smart conservatives, who understand that TRUMP IS A LOSER

and since the only thing he had to sell was “winning” for us, and he’s done nothing but lose, lose, lose since the day he abdicated his office to Tony Fauci

America cannot endure ONE more loss. The next one, it’s over for good.

So decide: Get your jollies on the Trump personality cult for a couple more years, or roll with serious conservatives instead and get your Republic back.

No, if Trump is elected again to POTUS, he can not be VP after that.
Besides, Trump will be kind of old.
We would need someone younger to fill the VP roll. Maybe Kari Lake if she becomes AZ governor.

I can’t think of one politician...except MAYBE DeSantis...that would truly put forth “Trump” ideas when the going gets tough in Washington. DeSantis might...but he’s untested against he pressure of Washington.

If Trump does not run, Desantis would need to run, or risk a great opportunity.

The country I think is so exhausted. They’re exhausted by the battle, the constant battle, that they may believe that, well maybe it’s time to turn the page if we can get someone who has all Trump’s policies, who’s not Trump.

All brought to you by the democrats, who have been in constant attack mode since Trump decided to run for president.

Anybody that gets hoodwinked by what the democrats say and do, is easily fooled.

Most republicans know how it's the democrats who tried to change the narrative from the success that Trump brought to the country. So, anybody that doesn't see the truth, should just shut up and disappear from the political and media landscapes.

I can say that any GOP candidate that would do policy as Trump does will get the same treatment Trump has gotten. Already they are demonizing and threatening DeSantis.

Perhaps the problem is not the candidate, but the people who want a quiet wimpy phony who walks across the aisle and very quietly starts wars and stabs you in the back.

If it is a RINO, that won’t be an issue because that person will not win.

Not possible for Trump to run as VP after serving eight (non-consecutive) years as POTUS. It would be illegal.

Nonsense.

That's loser talk. Buck up, fight on, regardless which politicians come and go.

There is no organized resistence to woke communism. Look at this forum. It is a sorry shell of what it was 15 years ago. What happened to the Free Republic local chapters? Serius question. I participated in the weekly anti-Clinton demonstrations in DC and went to events here in New Orleans. A handful of well off people fought the removal of the Lee statue for years, but there was zero attempts to have any regular large demonstrations at Lee Circle. The Confederate Memorial Hall people seem almost hostile to anyone who comes to purchase a paid admission. Now there is nothing at all. The so called traditional conservatives are like National Review, stooges and fellow travelers. Aside from DT personally and the force of his personality there is no real resistence movement. What is going on? There are millions of Americans who know their country is being stolen by the state but they have no mechanism to make their views clear. Why?With all his wealth, why does Trump not try and finance a grass roots pushback movement? There are plenty of straight, normal white men who would be more than happy to show up and would not mind engaged ANTIFA on their terms.

DjT will dismantle the hell-hole that is deep state. DeSantis would be fine, but better to follow Trump for another 8 years.

Agency heads will submit resignations on DAY ONE. Agencies will be dispersed all throughout the 50 states. Agencies will be eliminated. Agencies will be downsized.

FYI, the vetting of vetters is underway now. Hundreds of peeps searching for thousands of peeps to run and staff all the vacancies that will result from a Trump 2nd term. Rookie mistakes of 2016 will not be repeated.

DeSantis won’t have the cred, or backing to pull off what must be done, but he can assume the task and carry it to completion from ‘28-’36 or a bit sooner if he signs on as VP and DjT must step aside for whatever reason.

The woke communists are very close to turning the US into a sort of ‘people’s republic’ in which opposition is equated with treason. The system you describe is virtually dead. We are approaching the point where it will be bullets not ballots that count and people have to understand the state thinks opposition is treason and does want to personally harm you.

He certainly did.

And he has yet to acknowledge the mistake and repent for his anti-MAGA SwampVax.

I’ll vote for Trump if he gets the nomination, but I think DeSantis or even Cruz is the better option. We need someone who talks less and does more. Trump continually hurts himself and by association hurts the Republican Party and country by saying useless crap that just galvanizes the opposition, and gains him nothing. It would be much harder for the government to do to him what its done if he was a more sympathetic figure.

and despite the fact that the people would unite behind him (his rallies continue to be electric), the people aren’t the ones who select the presidential nominee — Republican Party delegates do.

Paranoid much?

The vast majority of delegates are selected by primary voters, and required to vote in the first ballot for the person to whom they are plendged. If Trump runs, and wins a majority of primary votes, he'll win the nomination.
