if he loses, he immediately starts campaigning again in February. why would he stop? -- nm - colin Nov 4, 09:13 26
- Not outside the realm of possibility that he can be convinced to hand it off to an anointed successor -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 4, 10:14 1
  - (Which arguably scares me more, that the next torchbearer is a magnitude more skilled at hiding the fact that they’re lying) -- nm - znufrii Nov 4, 10:19
- With a two time loser on their hands the GOP would have to move on to someone else. -- nm - Krusty Nov 4, 09:17 11
  - Pundits pretty much said the same thing after 2022. As long as his base sticks with him that is the majority of the party. Maybe they will tire of him, but -- (edited) - pmb Nov 4, 09:53
  - LOL!!!!! (Sorry, they've had their chances) -- nm - zunk takes things literally Nov 4, 09:42
  - his daughter in law is the head of the GOP - i don't think they can just toss him aside, loser or not. -- nm - colin Nov 4, 09:24 7
    - She's co-chair so not the top dog but I hear you as his family is in deep with the party now. But I can see the adults in the GOP moving on if they - Krusty Nov 4, 09:27 6
      - That was said after the coup attempt and after the losses in 2022. I'll believe it when I see it. -- nm - pmb Nov 4, 10:03
      - I hope his family drives their party into dust. -- nm - Jovian Nov 4, 09:54
      - i wonder if there is a flip in the works - a lot more candidates identifying with dems. dems continue to shift to the right, republicans become so - colin Nov 4, 09:29 3
        
        Dems have already been shifting rightward for 35 years. -- (edited) - Roger More Nov 4, 09:32 2
        
        Yup. Democrats here are right wing in many other countries. -- nm - Krusty Nov 4, 09:44
        
        exactly. but the more right-leaning party is becoming unpalatable for a lot of folks. -- nm - colin Nov 4, 09:37
  - Yup—party has to walk away and hit the reset button -- nm - Trending Nov 4, 09:18
- Because he’ll be in jail/indicted…hopefully -- nm - Trending Nov 4, 09:15
- he'll be in prison, and/or on trial -- nm - mr mooch Nov 4, 09:15 10
  - he's never going to prison. it's just not going to happen. -- nm - colin Nov 4, 09:16 9
    - Assuming Harris wins and the result is known, I think he'll be sentenced to prison on Nov 12. Whether he serves that sentence, I can't say. -- nm - Fuzzy Nov 4, 09:31 1
      - (Nov 26th in NYC but yeah) -- nm - mr mooch Nov 4, 09:35
    - I don't think so either. He'll be dead before he ends up in a jail cell. -- nm - Krusty Nov 4, 09:18 6
      - He keeps saying he’ll leave…and I honestly think he will go somewhere—“extended vacation” as the cover -- nm - Trending Nov 4, 09:19 5
        
        I was talking about this with Theresa and we couldn't think of a country that would both accept him and he'd be okay with living there. - Krusty Nov 4, 09:22 4
        
        Abu Dhabi has been my usual response re: his fleeing. -- nm Posted by mud Nov 2 '24, 18:09 -- nm - mud Nov 4, 09:24 3
        
        Maybe. They would likely cater to his wants but living in the desert would mean much less golf and being outside. -- nm - Krusty Nov 4, 09:53
        
        What countries have the best golf courses? -- nm - Trending Nov 4, 09:29 1
        
        scotland, but i think he's banned there for reasons -- nm - colin Nov 4, 09:30
