Republican candidates?

[Riders]

Do Republicans have a Presidential candidate outside of Trump? what are the chances of a different candidate being voted in then Trump?

Maybe Desantis or Ramaswamy will get it with enough luck.

There's also Pence or Haley, but I don't predict either of them will get it.

Yes, unfortunately it looks as if the Republicans have not learned the Trump is just a con job yet.

Well I am pulling for Desantis and Ramaswamy

DeSantis is the only serious compition I see.

Okay, can you or maybe someone here give me a bit of insider background context?
Because my news stations here are kind of looking at DeSantis like he’s an absolute nutjob (no offence.) They’re being polite in the phrasing, but that’s the general vibe I’ve been getting.
But simultaneously, he’s apparently losing quite heavily in the polling? (I’m assuming this is sourced from Republican voters specifically.)
So….does this make him a strong candidate? Or not?
Sorry not sure how your system works.

From what I read, De Sanity Clause is essentially a fake, trying to out-Trump Trump with ever more ludicrously right-wing positions that he seems to have adopted in an ad-hoc manner, simply to be more Trumpy than the Orange One himself. And it shows: he seems to have a wooden personality as well.

The one that strikes me as halfway sensible is Chris Fatso Christie. But he seems to have little hope. The Republican party is still in the grip of a personality cult, which is causing it to make itself the enemy of both the democratic process and the justice system.

If Trump is disqualified from running there will be a clamber of candidates popping up. Because they can then try to lure Trump's voters without being a Trump enemy or competitor. But the party is still a mess and it's base is still crazy. So I wouldn't look for any sudden return to reason.

What would disqualify him?

Sorry, but I have to ask.
Can you get disqualified from running as president in the States?
Because I feel like if any of our politicians were involved in a trial that was the equivalent of the Indictment Trump is currently going through, they’d never be able to serve in office again. Never mind run for the top job.
And I come from a literal country of criminals, for crying out loud

I don't think so.

Yup. The moral of the story? Criminals are better people than churchy types doped up on Jesus.

I haven't seen polling, but he hits the points the points that got Trump through amd instead of crying and whining about whoever called him a man name DeSantis has shown he'll resort to his political power to directly achieve results were he can.
Politicians who can show they've actually done stuff trans to be looked upon more favorably.

A criminal conviction.

The Lefty news, like CNN, which is broadcast world wide, is trying to undermined all Republican Candidates. They fear Trump the most, so you cannot trust their judgement. They pushed the Russian Collusion Coup narrative. They are as dumb as a stump, and are just are talking heads, controlled by their puppet masters in the DNC. In America, if you flip to all the Liberals news outlets, each time a new narrative is released; DeSantis is evil, they all; TV, internet and print, say the exact same thing, like all are reading the same puppet script. It is comical and not very organic.

Trump is still very popular and is gaining, since he is seen as a victim of the dual injustice system. Trump was impeached for trying to uncover the Biden Family influence peddling business in Ukraine. The impeachment stunt did not succeed, but was designed to make justice temporarily look shady, and shady look just.

The House investigative committee, is now showing all types of proof of Biden Family influence peddling with more countries than just Ukraine. They have uncorked over 20 shell companies use dot move money arounds which trigger dozens of IRS tax evasion triggers.

This proof was buried behind the theater of the dual injustice system, led by the Democrats. When Trump was accused of Russian Collusion, since he was innocent, he gave millions of pages of requested documents in a timely fashion. The Democrats have slowed walked this; delay and delay, since the time of the Trump impeachment. Innocent people will share, while the guilty will stall. That is my experience. They may need to impeach Biden, since by doing that it will become illegal to further stall document requests and witness testimony. Those who conspired will have their day in court. The Democrats will play the victim card. They are predictable.

Biden is senile and corrupt, so why would any political party push him on the country? He and his VP are not the best suited for that tough job. My guess is the radial left, in the Democrat party is blackmailing Biden, into servicing their bonehead agenda. They know where the skeletons are buried and will use this if needed. The swamp is not 100% loyal to anyone but themselves. Biden was never as far Left as he is today. It smells of Democrat Party blackmail.

That wouldn't disqualify him.

Classic projection. But this kind of madness is worryingly widespread and highly dangerous, illustrating perfectly what I was saying in post 8 about the Republican party having decided to make itself the enemy of both the justice system and the democratic process.

If Trump is re-elected I expect him to stay in office until he dies. I do not believe he will abide by the 2 term rule and he will encourage gerrymandering of future votes and/or manipulation of the electoral college system to stay in power, threatening to sack - or sue - anyone who stands up to him, including the news media.

Better go and buy some curly slippers, because you will be living in a Turkey-style "democracy".

And I mean that in both senses.

You know we don’t really get CNN here!?
Well okay, online/YouTube/streaming but like it’s not a recognisable reliable news source for the average TV viewer here.

Regardless of how horrible of a personality Trump is the justice system is being exploited for political purposes. It began after Hillary Clinton bought the (D) party but still lost. Consider this, as toxic as Trump is he's running even with Biden! Thats how bad Biden is!

Fair enough

Biden seems like just a dumb grandpa, if I’m honest lol
Tump has bad scandal after bad scandal. I’m sorry, but that’s just how it seemingly is. The infamous “Nazis are good people” scandal, the Jan 6 crap (I saw the actual real live footage from folks attending that, so don’t think I wasn’t savvy, just because I’m not American. I witnessed it as it happened. Live, online.) I remember when Trump was first elected, our news media was all side eyeing him. Which is kind of funny to think about in hindsight lol
Biden meanwhile has been seemingly boring in comparison. I mean he hasn’t committed anything that has gotten him indicted, for example
To my knowledge anyway. Perhaps you can point that out for me.

To be clear, I don’t really have any favouritism towards either candidate. They’re both foreign to me so I could care less who wins.
I’m just saying, Trump looks worse off if we include the legal proceedings. Going by international news coverage.
And yes I’m including Hunter Biden. But that’s his son and all sorts of parents can have awful kids, I don’t care. Sorry lol

Trump's indictment comes from the findings of a grand jury, not a political appointee.
