Such an impartial and thoughtful poll you have put together.
So let’s assume Kamala gets elected and we all can feel “the joy”. Given she’s got zero game plan, flip flopped on multiple issues (fracking, the border, abolishing private health care, etc.) and has ducked all unscripted and live interviews (the CNN interview with Dana Bash was pre-taped so it could be edited) we can most likely assume she will be a continuation of the Biden administration but worse.
So Americans can look forward to the following:
More hyperinflation given Kamala will likely pass more giant spending bills on bs most Americans don’t want, need or afford (e. g. student loan “forgiveness”)
Insane taxation that will stunt business growth, stall out our economy and skyrocket unemployment.
Continually high energy prices (which directly impacts inflation) given Kamala will most likely continue to pursue green new deal bs.
Ongoing wars and chaos abroad. Seriously what is Kamala’s plan to end the Russo-Ukraine war? How is she going to handle the Gaza-Israel war? She’s the sitting VP and she’s done absolute jack so far on dealing with this. What’s her plan?
Millions more of illegals crossing our border. Kamala supposedly claimed that she is “tough on crime”. But does she have the guts to re-enact Trump’s effective “remain in Mexico” policy that Biden overturn his first day in office?
But given that Kamala will be our first minority woman for president that supposedly will magically make everybody feel “joy”, right?
Who cares about what really matters like actual policy. And if she fails spectacularly I’m sure that won’t have any impact on how Americans generally feel about electing a woman as president or something. But again “the joy” will magically solve everything.
@Jersey2 honestly there have to be at SOME former moderate democrats out there who understand you can’t defy the laws of gravity with media manufactured “joy” bullshit. There have to be SOME people who understand the simple logic that: policy > personality/wokeness/TDS. I’m just hoping.
Trump will not be nominated. I believe the Republican Party will realize the massive mistake having Trump was…. We are at a prediction where Harris becomes the President, Democrats hold the Congress, and Democrats hold the Senate which would be a trifecta all on the back of Trump.
Trump lost 2020 and normally after losing a chance at a 2nd term Presidential nominees leave… Not this one. Mitch McConnell said it himself that he believed if he gave into Trump, thinking there was a chance to keep Georgia red…. It didn’t happen. January 6th created a division in the party that is still festering. We found out about all of Trump’s crimes. GUILTY on 34 counts of falsifying business records to get reimbursement for a “legal expense” from the bank which is illegal to lie to the bank on official documents to get money for something outside the real necessity. If they knew it was pornstar NDA they would never have authorized it.
Trump will be gone and Republicans will have to take the Party in a different direction if they can they will surely come back stronger.
@juliaanita Thank you, I’m just basing it off of historical context. Democratic Party changed how they elect their leaders in primaries to get rid of the mess of 2016 under Hillary Clinton and every political party tries to move on from scandal / division / other via C-H-A-N-G-E. Trump lost Congress & Senate control in 2020 too along with The White House control before so to do it again would be a definitive need for change…. Nixon was such a corrupt son of a bitch traditional politician that Democrats had a peanut farmer President then Republicans brought a famous actor President. Thing change, lives move on, and if Trump goes to prison I’m sure as Hell they’ll want someone to run the party who isn’t in jail who can’t campaign….
@Amy10223 I know a lot because I’ve seen a lot. I used to support Trump in 2016…. I wasn’t even old enough to vote, I voted Biden in 2020 and Harris will be my choice 2024 I swear. Basically Biden promised the same broken promises of Trump so, I had confidence Biden would be the guy to get it done along with his own agenda and he did because I kept a close eye just like with Trump (especially due to the Pandemic) so I’m the man to hold them accountable for their lies because I’ve paid attention more than anyone else.
In 2028 Trump will be too ill, or gone. I had a weird dream about him back in March, yes I know, I never dream with politicians, especially him--but then again I had a nightmare before he was elected that he had won--and the nightmare became true. I also had a dream that was really odd about Jan 6, in the previous October. His health is going down the drain, if my dream proves right.
How could it sustain corporate donations trying to out trump trump AND his pale, stale, male bigots are dying off faster than the young incels replacing them
@MisterWack I don't think it's going to be that easy to move on. It never really was about Trump. He's the embodiment, not the problem. The problem that he exposed by pulling the carpet up for us all to see the ugliness underneath is still very much present in this country.
@Caroline91 Definitely, it was always a problem festering in this country though I will say this he pushed the accelerator to the GOP’s ride to political tyrannical rule to ‘batshit crazy’ leading off a cliff for the party. After this election, GOP will surely be disappointed in the result because they’ll lose seats most likely & lose the white house and will have to rethink the strategy of the direction of the party / how to get people back on board in a more moderate tone. At least that’s my thought you made great points, he showcased the party’s true unpopular intentions and wanting to control & push people down like you and me rather than lift them up in one pull of the rug to show their true colors. He isn’t the problem, just the embodiment for sure.
I very seriously doubt if Trump would run again. He's too damn old. And if he did run, he would not get the nomination.
Trump has never been all that popular, even with Republicans (partly because he's not a real Republican or conservative in the first place). I think the only reason he got the nomination in 16, 20 and 24 is because nobody better has stepped up to the plate.
Its been a very long time since Republicans had a good candidate who was serious about winning... not since the 90s. Everyone since then has either been garbage, or they didn't have the drive to do what it takes to win.
Ideally there will be a new wave of candidates. There will likely be some old contingents like Desantis, maybe Haley, and maybe Vivek among others but ultimately this will be a wise open GOP.
Hopefully they pick someone who can actually act unlike most passive Republicans nowadays who complain loudly then vote how their donors tell them to.
Trump acts, but his act is very individualized. Essentially nothing he does can be mimicked or copied just due to his personality when it comes to being a candidate.
You are probably under the impression that Trump started a movement and he is a cult of personality. But that isn’t what happened. Trump, who can read the room with the best of them, tapped into a ground swell that was already there. Trump taps into the people and says what they are thinking, that is his gift. He also takes action on it which is why people continue to support him. There will be others who step up.
First, he was right about illegal immigration. It is only now that most people realize it. Harris has recently said she will start enforcing our laws… once she gets in. Hispanics while still supporting democrats in majority have significantly shifted to Trump percentage wise. That was all action which stands in contrast to what Harris did at the border… which is absolutely nothing for 4 years. Do you deny that she was given the task of addressing the border and delivered no action to use your words.
He stood up to Europe in their need to better find their own militaries for the strengthening of NATO. I bet you loved that picture of Merkel glaring at Trump with the rest of the defense spending slackers at the NATO conference. Now they scramble to re-invest in their own defenses which also drives sales of US products for defense. This may save us from using tactile nuclear weapons in the future as a NATO without a conventional punch would quickly need to use nukes to avoid being overrun.
There’s more but that is enough writing for now on that. As far as racism, is that your crutch? Both parties have their fair share of racists. Go on and try a deny it. Most people in this country just want a safe and prosperous country as it benefits them and their family. You really swallowed that line hook and sinker didn’t you. My sister is an NYC lesbian from the fashion industry married to her wife and she is a far bigger Trump supporter than I am. The Black maintenance man at our building has Trump stickers on his vehicle. In 2020 it was an astonishing amount of Trump signage. I don’t actually have anything on my vehicle and never had for any candidate.
People aren’t the one dimensional beings the mass media would have you believe and I am surprised you don’t know that honestly.
Now tell me, what the F has Harris done in the past 4 years? I’ll wait.
Been an ambassador for POTUS. I don't know how you view the office of VP, but it is essentially a ceremonial office with very little power other than proximity to power.
She doesn’t even give press conferences as she is hiding. She hides because she knows she will say stupid things. That’s our leader? No. She can’t lead. She will win primarily because she plays being black and women will vote for her because she has a vagina. Those are her qualifications. And those qualifications are also why she was selected for VP.
She was given a talk, the boarder. She did nothing. Barely a visits and certainly no change. Now she says she will change it… it is just words though as she has had years. If I were VP and given the task, I would have been working hard on it. The world’s premiere leader will hide from the Press, accomplish little, and sit idly by smiling. That’s it. A do-nothing.
What we need to do is enforce the laws on the books. That is missing today. Congress already passed the necessary laws. But perhaps you mean that the Democrats will actively get in the way and show their true colors… well, show them even brighter. But there will always be a debt limit bill that needs to be passed so a threat to shut the US Government down minus social security payments etc, wouldn’t bother most Conservatives.
He won't be nominated. and he'll have to deal with the rest of these court cases for the rest of his life. he'll be cooked
HOWEVER the far right and the heritage foundation are not going to stop trying to take over our government. they will regroup and try again every election cycle now both national and regional. we must remain diligent and vote against them every time they pop up in our elections.
I hope Trump's gonna die of old age before, without scandals, I actually have similar, reasonable hopes, for the Putin case. And then, maybe, people on this planet will get some rest, a bit of it. That will feel good, honestly.
Trump, if he's still alive, will not be nominated in 2028 if he loses 2024. The Republicans will nominate Nikki Haley for President and some newcomer (male) for VP, since they will be going up against Harris-Walz.
I do think the far right billionaires who don't care how long it takes to achieve absolute power will find themselves at odds with all the far right poor people seeking instant gratification.
I'd expect the same thing. He gets another mini desk and puts it at mar a lago and pretends he's the president. He hems and haws about running and declares anyone who doesn't wait for his decision a disloyal RINO. 18 people run and split the anti-Trump vote and he wins.

Trump will be too old by then. If he loses there will never be another real election in this country, in fact there will probably not even be a country left, at least not a country that anyone would recognize. Look how bad it is now, now imagine w it being ten times worse.

I don't think he'd get the nomination, but it would go to someone like DeSantis or Youngkin or Vance. The Old Guard Republicans are over. And after this election, my guess is the Old Guard Dems are going to finally be cooked as well.
Some reports say he's having a hard time with that assassination attempt with ptsd. I'm no fan of the guy but no one needs to take on anything more then they can handle.
I expect him to be to old in 2028 to be viable would depend on his health and cognitive ability. He might accept I don't know. To far ahead for this kind of age to predict.
What on earth makes you think trump Will start will lead a civil war. He already wad in power for 4 years and nothing bad happened hell one could argue times we're a lot better back then. If anything is gonna start a civil war it's gonna be crazy leftists going nuts if trump wins. You practically did that already in 2020 with the summer of love riots.
Christ dude take your meds. The literal worst thing you have ever seen (supposed) Trump supporters do was storm the capitol without even firing a single shot, it was on the same level of your average Antifa riot.
Meanwhile, smashing cars, lighting flags on fire and assaulting people in the street because the mob thinks their opinions are different from theirs, were the calmest things leftist riots do. There is a reason why cities put up boards and leftist propaganda as a "please don't hurt me" whenever there is a democrat rally in town. For the one where Kamala said "I'm speaking," they were right and the people she said it to would be on the same side as her if she supported Palestine.
I actually have a prediction regarding that. I think the GOP will implode due to the air is trying to out Trump Trump and the bat s*** crazy extremists will never be able to command the corporate donations that Trump can pull off. They'll become a regional party for a generation because their supporters are dying in record numbers and they can't win the suburbs with their insanity.
Well no. There will be a democratic and Republican Party 20 years from now. Both major parties have extremists but both parties are healthy in their base
Home > Society & Politics > Polls > If Trump loses 2024, presuming he doesn't lead a coup or start a civil war, do you think the MAGA Party will nominate Trump in 2028? Would he accept?
