Now that we all know he’s beatable and he’s been repudiated multiple times, he’s the GOP’s problem.
(Edit, yes, I know if he wins he’s all of our problem, but let’s not just be defeatest yet. After this midterm, I think we’ve earned the right to read the writing on the wall regarding Donnie’s future.)

Wonder what that cost him?

Trump is nothing if not petty and a poor turnout for his “big announcement” is really going to get under his skin. I wouldn’t be surprised if he withholds making the “official” announcement about his 2024 bid until he finds a way to muster up a bigger crowd for the cameras. Or maybe his remaining loyalists could just put a bunch of extra mirrors around the lobby to make the crowd seem bigger than it is.

He’ll just say 20,000 filled the streets of new york city.
It’s not like anyone in the red states would know.

It’s not defeatist to say Trump is still dangerous, and his disciples still worship him as a god. In 2016, we made the mistake of saying he could never win, and the country paid dearly for that optimism.

Don’t forget to take a shot every time he says something really stupid.

Not like we don’t know what he’s going to announce? Why give him and Fox the views?

yeah, good point. I’m out. I can tune into npr tomorrow and probably hear about all the easily debunkable claims and whatnot

That seems like it would end poorly.

I figured that NPR or someone like that will have the relevant points tomorrow, too… Honestly, I can’t even stand to listen to the man for more than a minute or so… And that started pretty early in his tenure as president…
Jinx!

I wouldn’t say “rooting,” but this does make it much harder for DeSantis to become president, so there’s that.

The only thing Dems should be rooting for is Biff forming a third party if he isn’t nominated at the convention in 2024. Really, they should be focusing on beating any Republican candidate, starting now. That’s probably a bit much to ask of the Dem establishment, though.
