Donald Trump may pull a Grover Cleveland and run again for President.
There is no doubt in my mind he will try.
My guess is he can hang on to his base for four years and make a good go of it again in 2024
Why would he go through this again.
Our country is loaded with limp wristed faggots who don't notice when support for Trump from blacks and latinos improves because of the economy.
Because he is an egomaniac who will stew and stew and stew on being the one thing his father told him never to be:
A loser.
He will want back.
He'll be as old as Biden is now.
Don't think that will happen.
I am afraid President Trump is headed for some health issues.
I also think P.E. Biden is not going to be around long.
Hard to say at that age, Trump has good genes I will give him that.
The real question is can the Republican Party move beyond his cult because he will be shouting from a very big pulpit if they try.
You still don't get it.
Trump didn't create the hard line GOP...it created him....and elected him. He never would have survived the primary without us.
Fucktards like Michael Steele want to "rebuld" and we'll inform him he can go fuck himself and form a third party.
We did just fine this time around. And we don't need to rebuild shit.
We kept the senate.....
We improved in the house
At the state level....we did wonderful.
And we got three scotus judges along the way.
We, the republican party will find someone like Trump who is a bit more polished..and we'll rally around him/her.
I disagree.
The Republican Party did not want him, they oppenly opposed him all through the 2016 primary season. There was even discussion of changing the convention rules to stop him.
Trump rode the Tea Party movement and turned it into his own personal movement and then turned the Republican Party into his cult.
There are many Republicans who have openly called this, but most were afraid because of his large base.
As time goes on without him you will see more Republicans move from silence, there are at least 20 Republican Senators according to Bob Woodward who stayed silent in the Trump years but wanted the party to move from his glorification of his own image and are willing to work with Biden on moderate policies.
Trump will try to keep the Great Orange Cult going and if he can hold that base he will for a time.
What with the Republican Party do?
The Tea Party was a fart in the wind.
The establishement GOP turned it's back on us and would not listen.
We got Romney and McStain and slaughtered. We supported them. We tried.
When Trump showed up, he represented us (the deplorable bitterly clinging) and we rallied around him.
Those fuckers like Steele turned on us.
Woodward says all kinds of shit.
And Trump would have worked with Pelosi and Schumer but their idea of compromise was to give in. We won't have it.
And no, we are not leaving the party. We own it.
Totally disagree, and so do many historians.
Trump was an insurgent in the Republican nomination process using Tea Party rhetoric just as Sanders rode the Occupy Movement wave to almost take the nomination from Clinton in 2016.
And like most demagogues Trump turned the party into a mirror of his own image and the party bowed as long as they believed the Trump cult would punish them if they did not.
Now post Trump we will see if they still bow or break into saner political discourse.
The Tea Party didn't invent any Rhetoric. It took something that was latent and had been around.
Trump was a voice.
What the fuck do you mean the party bowed ?
You need to look back.

The Tea Party Movement Is Alive and Well—And We Saw Trump Coming
<p>In an article POLITICO published this summer, a former employee of a PAC alleged that the 'Tea Party is dead,' claiming that bogus PACs had swallowed up the energy and money formerly driving the grassroots movement.</p>www.politico.com
You can hardly find an active group and the same was true in 2016.
I am sorry, but she's running an add, not telling history.
I cant point to tons of people who have no associattion with the party and still voted for Trump.
Now most of the Republicans running in the 2016 were not playing to that ideological camp.
It is why they lost.
Trump instinctually knew he could ride that rage to take the nomination and astonishingly the Presidency.
The problem is a presidency cannot run on rage forever, as Trump found out.
And when the cult leader stumbles, he falls, no matter what the party does.
Even his son admitted it was a cult.
Trump Jr.: If Dad Made the GOP Into a ‘Cult,’ at Least It’s Working
“You know what? If it’s a cult, it’s because they like what my father’s doing.”
