From the different folks I've been talking to, the government could cut cost next year by not even having an election. Just xerox the last ballots. No one is changing their mind. Biden gets 4 more years.

Matt, there doesn't seem to be much interest in identifying people crazy enough to hitch up to the Trump wagon...
Not a shock.

That would be my best guess as well at this point in time.

And if he got voted in we'd have the first true African-American in the White House!

That's because the correct answer is "who the hell knows?" Your guess is as good as mine or as anybody else's.

Kristi Noem, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott all possible VP’s. Those are as real an answer as we can give.

Steve Bannon. Mike Flynn. Roger Stone.

The very best people.


Admitting you have a problem is the second step. The first step is finding a problem you really enjoy.

WSJ editorial from yesterday, reinforcing the points made in the OP:
The Real Trump Risk for Republicans

Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis are warning the GOP that a second term will fail.

By The Editorial Board

The pundits are saying that Donald Trump emerged unscathed from Wednesday night’s debate because only Chris Christie attacked him as a would-be dictator. But that misses something important about what happened on stage. Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis warned GOP voters that Mr. Trump is likely to fail in a second term and explained why—and the best evidence is the record of his first term.

Mr. Christie chided his Republican rivals for failing to take on the former President directly, which is true to some extent. But the former New Jersey Governor’s warnings that Mr. Trump is a threat to the republic won’t persuade GOP voters who remember Democrats saying the same in 2016.

The more potent attacks during the debate were on his record as President. Ms. Haley gamely noted that he added $9 trillion to the national debt in four years, “and we’re all paying the price of that.” Mr. Trump spent like a Democrat on domestic programs, and there’s little reason to think he would show spending restraint during a second term.

He showed no resistance to the $2 trillion Covid blowout in March 2020. He tapped Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds to extend the enhanced unemployment benefits during the summer of 2020 after they had lapsed. He even complained that Congress’s $900 billion Covid spending bill in December 2020 was too stingy.

Mr. Trump also pushed Republicans to increase the bill’s $600 stimulus checks for each adult and child to $2,000, which Democrats then embraced. Democratic candidates in the two Georgia Senate runoffs campaigned on passing a bigger pandemic spending bill if the party won control of Congress, which they did. The $6 trillion in Covid relief fueled the runaway inflation.

Mr. Trump’s successes on judges, tax reform and deregulation were based on conventional conservative ideas that were teed up for him. Former Reps. Kevin Brady and Paul Ryan and Sen. Pat Toomey midwifed the 2017 tax reform. Mr. Trump nearly blew up the legislation toward the end when he reportedly dallied with Steve Bannon’s recommendation to raise the top marginal tax rate to 44%.

The Federalist Society gave Mr. Trump originalist judicial nominees, which Mitch McConnell made sure were confirmed. Deregulation happened thanks to Mike Pence’s guidance and nominees like Neomi Rao at the White House budget office. Those people and others like them aren’t coming back for a second Trump term. Instead the country will get Mr. Bannon and immigration svengali Stephen Miller.

Mr. Trump was far less successful on his signature issues of immigration and trade. As Mr. Christie pointed out during the debate, his tariffs didn’t change Chinese behavior but did hurt growth and American consumers. Nor did Mr. Trump solve the immigration issue or build the border wall he promised, as Mr. DeSantis noted.

Shortly after signing off on a draft bipartisan immigration compromise in Congress that would have increased border security, he went on Fox News and scuttled it. His positions on issues changed by the hour depending on whom he had last consulted. His legislative failure on immigration made it possible for Mr. Biden to use executive discretion to open the southern border gates.

Mr. Trump also didn’t rebuild the military as much as he claims. The Navy had 297 ships at the end of fiscal year 2020, far fewer than his 355-ship goal or even the 308 ships called for by Barack Obama. His budgets filled some holes in operations and maintenance. But the military is increasingly stretched and U.S. weapons supply lines are inadequate.

The former President famously failed to replace ObamaCare as he promised, and he blames the late Sen. John McCain. But Mr. Trump contributed enormously by making an enemy of McCain, and he never took the time to master the policy or sell it to the public.

The fundamental problem that Ms. Haley identified is that chaos follows Mr. Trump wherever he goes, like the dust cloud that follows Pig-Pen in the Charlie Brown cartoon. As Ms. Haley put it, “you can’t defeat Democrat chaos with Republican chaos. And that’s what Donald Trump gives us.”

We think American institutions are strong enough to contain whatever designs Mr. Trump has to abuse presidential power. The danger for Republican voters to consider is that his chaos theory of governance would result in a second term that failed to deliver on his promises and set up the left for H*** gains in 2026 and 2028.

Trump has no doctrine, philosophy, ideas, etc. to run this country. All he wants is power, and there are enough idiots in this nation who don't see what he really is, or don't care.

It's shocking to see people look past what happened after he lost the election and the aggregate of all his actions since and say "this guy should be back in power!" If he wins, he will unleash vengeance like never seen before in this country. He might not end up being a dictator, but he will die trying to become one, surrounded fully by yes men. The simple fact is that anything people liked that happened while Trump was president had very little to do with him. The same people aren't signing on for a second term.
