Someone other than Trump?

I found this on a news site:

"Dozens of House Democrats lined up behind legislation that would bar former President Donald Trump from holding office again.

The bill, introduced Thursday by Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI), aims to use Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to get the job done, accusing Trump of orchestrating an insurrection with the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, which briefly disrupted the certification of President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory."

I would love to see someone other than Trump but I wonder if human nature will prevent it. IMV, if there is a continued effort to prevent him from running, I think that the response from the other side of the aisle will be "He must be the answer because they keep attacking him".

Human nature, IMV, will override common sense.

What do you think?

It's all a sophisticated plot to trick Pubs into
running Trump, who is sure to lose again.
Then Pubs will cry "Stolen election!", & look
so foolish that their party will be impotent for
another 4 years. Clever, really.

You could be right.

In some ways they should not oppose him at all. He could easily be a disaster for the Republican party. When it comes to deciding elections the win or loss is rarely determined by either party. Instead it is the vast population in the middle, and they seem to be fed up with Trump. But as a believer in the two party system I would love to see him go.

I don't think Trump will ever hold office again, though I could be wrong about that. The issue is not really Trump, as an individual, but more the underlying issues and the direction which certain like-minded political factions appear to be taking. This last election had all kinds of people coming out of the woodwork, spouting slogans such as "Babies, Guns, Jesus."

Last time early in the 2016 election process I mentioned that I was afraid he would try to take over like a dictator, and he proved me right. If they run him and he wins, he will try again; and this time he'll know what kind of system he is getting involved with. He may get better at it. I don't think everyone would just let him do that, however it seems like last time very few were willing to try and stop him. I couldn't identify what hidden power he had over the republicans, but they just let him do whatever. They might do that again, and he could conceivably betray us. He doesn't seem patriotic.

That is just what they want you to think.

They are pretending they don’t want the Republicans to nominate Trump so that they will think they do want them to nominate Trump and therefore they won’t nominate Trump. Which is why they should nominate Trump.

It is simple when you think about it,

Human nature can be fickle.

I think the democrats want Trump to run. Because he can't win. And if he runs as an indepented, he'll be making sure the republican candidate can't win, either. All this "we hate a Trump" stuff by liberals and democrats just encourages him and his idiot base. Which is exactly what they want to do. Trump is the albitros of the Republican Party. He's why Biden is so popular. And he's why the republicans are going to keep losing as long as Trump is around.

Perhaps they are worried whether Biden can carry the Democratic party.

It's more "if he doesn't get punished for his criminal attempts to undermine democracy, it will embolden others to follow his lead, so he needs to be punished."

:D Dune is a fun series that imagines such horrors as a predictable future. Thank goodness we don't need plans within plans, because we have no witches or mentats. Its easy to predict criminals usually.

So you think we can't trust the right wing voter to be rational, and they will act impulsively and in a reactionary way?

So perhaps the democrats are the adult in the room and trying to help conservative voters from making the same mistake twice.

Red has multiple champions. Donald Trump. Ron DeSantis. I will gladly vote for President Trump again, but if he were ineligible and DeSantis chose to run, I would gladly vote for him too.

The Democrats have been afraid of Trump since their failed Collusion Coup. The Democrats attempted to overthrow a duly elected president in 2016 and never saw themselves losing. It failed. Since then they still fear payback time. There is nobody in history that has been more gang targeted and harassed than Trump, and yet he is still there. There is not much time left, until investigation priorities will change, since they will be run by a Republican House. The Democrats have been push back to the cliff, hoping for a Hail Mary pass.

The wild card are the Twitter Files, the FBI collusion, and the Biden laptop. Hypothetically, say deeper investigation by New House, , shows political intrigue, that was worse than Nixon. This began with the Obama FBI spying on candidate Trump, the DNC, FBI fake dossier scam, the voter irregularities due to COVID, to all the biased law suits in NY state and lack of due process Democrat Kangaroo Courts. The tide may suddenly turn next year. and Trump may be exonerated and allowed to get even.

What I see is desperate people still misusing power. The Twitter files have taught us that what we see in the news and information highway was designed to be subjective and very one sided, assisted by censorship and shadow banding. All supposed errors in judgement never benefitted Trump. What are the odds for that? The anti-Trump propaganda may no longer work the same way without this extra help. However, they still feel the need to keep doubling down, rather than loose all that has been invested.

Biden will be in trouble due to the duplicate hard drives that have not been destroyed to hide evidence. The problems the Republicans are having with choosing the speaker is due to Democrat influence in a last ditch effort to avoid the inevitable. I would guess that bribery, extortion and black mail will be attempted but in the end Republicans will get the votes, and the curtain will be drawn; end of act 2, waiting for act 3; reversal of fortunes.
