Trump is going over the edge. He's done.

Fox isn't even reporting on the recent Special Masters halt. They want him to go away at this point.

My greater concern is that fucking trash like Aileen Cannon comes to this nation and grows up to shit on it by becoming a corrupt judge. How can anyone coming before her even take her seriously? She has absolutely no business whatsoever presiding over any cases. Let her go do lap dances at fed. society gatherings.

by Anonymousreply 1December 2, 2022 1:00 AM

He's toast.

I predicted at the end of August, when Trump insisted he wanted the search warrant released and Merrick Garland called his bluff and filed a request with the Court to do so, that Trump will be subject to a federal indictment.

Garland isn't fucking around.

And the DOJ has the wind at its back with the guilty verdict on seditious looter Rhodes, the judicial bitch slap to Judge Cannon , and, while I don't think Garland would let it influence him, it can't hurt that Trump's popularity with sane, moderate Americans is non-existent.

by Anonymousreply 5December 2, 2022 1:11 AM

We'll see r4, but I stand by my prediction that Trump will be indicted on whatever is the applicable federal law on the documents matter.

One of the standards that Garland said would be applied in the docs matter is if other Americans, similarly situated, who had unauthorized possession of classified documents, were also prosecuted.

Those are ominous words. They're another "Trump isn't above the law" shot across the bow.

by Anonymousreply 17December 2, 2022 1:46 AM

If Desantis is the Repug nominee to be the POTUS, he won't be able to moderate, nor will he get by with trying to, for a national, electorate audience, the crazy-ass, in-Florida, right-wing, anti-Gay, bigoted, cruel, stunts-driven persona and positions.

He'll try; oh, will he try, and it'll be fun to watch, but, his appeal stops at the Florida border.

I predicted it before and I'll do it again. The nominee will be Nikki Haly, and she ain't settling for VP.

by Anonymousreply 18December 2, 2022 2:01 AM

His greatest interest is in remaining king of his party. More so than getting elected. He apparently thinks there are enough crazies to get him nominated in a crowded primary field. And I wouldn’t bet against him. Of course, he’ll never win a general election.

Yeah, that Atlantic article pretty effectively argues that DeSantis is a paper tiger. Worth reading. He's holding the place for all the MAGA/Republican base's hope for "someone better than cray cray Don" who can win etc.

Youngkin will do whatever it takes and since he is a straight, white protestant guy, they can buy into him. I think Nikki Haley would have a harder time. You can say "if she's good enough for S. Carolina..." and there is force to that, but she has gone back and forth on Trump so much it's ludicrous. I think she would not be trusted.

by Anonymousreply 32December 2, 2022 7:02 PM

In some ways, Youngkin is even more dangerous than DeSantis. Youngkin has his nice gold ole boy Andy Griffith demeanor which masks his true MAGA leanings - he's as bad with Don't Say Gay as DeSantis is. Moderates would take to Youngkin much more easily than to grumpy DeSantis.

I don't see the MAGA crowd coalescing around Haley, and those are the ones who vote in the primaries. They'd prefer a female candidate along the lines of Marsha Blackburn, and not just because she's white.

by Anonymousreply 33December 2, 2022 8:21 PM

Youngkin showed who he was (putting aside the disgusting snitch-line/CRT bullshit) with that Pelosi comment after her husband was brutally-attacked. Either he is fucking trash or he knows the types of people who could ever support him are fucking trash, so he has to appeal to them in the most low class ways.

I wonder what days at Mar-a-Lago are like? Is he having a ball being the spoiled brat he's always been, reeling with glee when he's the main topic of every news outlet? Or is it Nixon-esque, sitting in dark rooms and wondering how his Xanadu turned into Xanadont?

He needs a rally. I bet he wants so bad to go to Georgia and make it all about him, but no invitations are being extended. Strange, since Herschel Bar has praised everything Trump.

Youngkin not only does genial much better than DeSantis, but he is quite tall, not dumpy like RDS. DeSantis is okay looking if he loses weight, but a short guy like that cannot carry much weight without looking bloated. DeSantis also has a whiny voice. He was an athlete in college, but his sport was baseball, which doesn't require the fitness other spots do, and it was a while ago.

He may, I believe, be done in terms of being president again. But he's not done in GOP politics, including his abillity to get the nomination.

by Anonymousreply 43December 2, 2022 11:28 PM

If he can win the nomination there is always a chance he can be elected. Maybe not a 50-50 chance, but if things are going really badly in the country -not necessarily because Biden did anything wrong, he could win. He will never win the popular vote, but he could eke out an electoral college win. It's not how I'd bet today. I think Biden would beat him (and Biden is running, barring a health issue not yet evident). But he is still dangerous.

R57 This is maybe true of real "cultists", but the question is how many of those are there, really? The very large majority of Trump voters were always Republicans who thought he was just fine or better than the wicked Dems. They didn't mind or even liked the racism and authoritarianism and dismissed the corruption, but most of them were already voting R before he came along and will be if he leaves the scene. These people are in their way more infuriating than people who've been zombified- they saw it all, knew what it was and were like "he's fine".

Christie was like Trump Lite (the only way in which he is lite). Loudmouth from the tristate area.

They're all bad, but I would prefer him to Trump or DeSantis, not that it matters. He is reasonably knowledgable and is just a normal Jersey political asshole and bully, without Trump's truly deranged aspect and lack of boundaries and without DeSantis's serious authoritarianism and humorlessness. Of course Christie has no base and his only relevance is that the media still invites him on shows for whatever reason. If something happens to DeSantis it's going to be Youngkin or someone else with a more conservative profile than Christie.

by Anonymousreply 77December 26, 2022 1:08 PM

I’m hoping that a healthy(ish) Biden runs for re-election. It’s very difficult to defeat an incumbent president, even more so when the president has no serious primary and/or 3rd-party challenger. Before Trump in ‘20, the last such president to not be re-elected was Hoover, in 1932. I have to think a young man like DeSantis has to be weighing risking the wrath of Trump diehards - as well as wilting in the face of Trump attacks - in the face of the great odds of succeeding running against an incumbent president.
