Pence couldn't wear his mask because the zipper was stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I came to the conclusion today that I want Trump to win in November. If he doesn't win he will be shouting from the sidelines until he does win again. My thoughts are get his 2 terms over and done with then at least his is done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he loses in November, he's hardly likely to become the party's nominee again in the future. Firstly, he would be as old in four years as Biden is now, but more importantly, he would be seen as a loser and an unreliable bet by the Republican base. If he loses, the entire party will turn on him very rapidly (and they won't be short of ammo), because it will be necessary for them to portray their loss as due to Trump's personal failings rather than any rejection of their ideological agenda. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. If he loses i think he's in a world of trouble. He will have his lunatic base support him but it won't last long. I would hope he would also start facing legal trouble, which being president has made him untouchable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened in 2008, when it was clear that Bush was politically dead, was that Republican congressional candidates ran *against* his record in many races, and then spent lots of time in the immediate aftermath of the election talking about how he had 'betrayed conservatism' or variations thereof. Trump is in much better shape politically than Bush was by that election (he was getting 25-30% in some polls of his approval rating at that point) but I would expect a somewhat similar dynamic to emerge if he plummets in the polls or loses the election. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villakram Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Favorability polling. Trump: 38% Biden: 44% 6 more months... the US election cycle is the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am usually in the states during an election year and would have been this year. As an impartial viewer I love the attack ads, they are just the right mix of venom and comedy. That said I only have them for a 2 week period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Trump is screwed if he loses. He already has numerous on going investigations into him that he has been able to stall and get rid of due to him being president. People aren't going to stick up for him if he is not the president.
