I would not want the stress involved in being President. At this age I want to enjoy my time doing what makes me happy. Often that’s doing things that either helps others or just makes them happy.

I am not so sure Biden is driven by ego. I think he is driven by a desire to serve and protect his country but will be very happy to just retire when he thinks someone else can do that better. That includes making sure there is not another bout of Trump.

Trump is driven by ego.

Let’s assume that trump is this antichrist country killer you make him out to be. Why is he looking a shoe in to be the next POTUS. Maybe Biden has actually done exactly the same ‘anyone but Biden’! Although I would think it runs into being a democrat issue with how screwed up the USA is atm. Open borders, green deals killing the publics purse and all of the DEI crap.
Your take will be all republican voters are blind and stupid. I would say they feel they cant be in a worse place by voting for trump.

That's one of the craziest statements I've seen on this forum.

According to some of the MAGA mob Trump is the second coming and not the anti-Christ. He is looking to be the shoe-in to be the next Republican candidate. Unless the USSC decide him to be illegible. Which seems unlikely given its composition.

It’s a big stretch from there to declare him as the next POTUS. There’s lots of time yet, court cases to be heard and details revealed. More importantly who will actually be opposing him.

Most of what you describe is untrue. It’s propaganda routinely fed by Trump and the right wing media to the naive. There are no “open” borders. Just a more compassionate way of managing them. Tacking climate change is an imperative, not a choice, if we want our grandchildren to have a future. Kickstarting the economy after the pandemic has worked. The perception in the minds of many is different. More propaganda!

Yes, the MAGA Republicans would support Trump even if he took power illegally. You can see that in the way they whitewash his behaviour in 2019 and 2020. They are a lost cause. It’s the others that matter.

That he has an ego is obvious. It seems an essential part of every politician but in his case I don’t think it’s what drives him. In Trump’s case it is. Trump is all ego.

I think Biden would happily set his ego aside if he could see his country benefitting. Trump would not. If he could he would already have done so.

Romney’’s race is run. At 77 he has wisely decided to set an example and retire from active politics.

Don’t though let that underestimate his potential influence over the upcoming election. Along with Liz Cheney it could be significant.

As soon as Trump’s opponent is known I expect both Romney and Cheney to endorse them. With even more enthusiasm if it isn’t Biden, as I expect.

Establishing a pro-democracy coalition against the cult of Trumpism will encourage the small but significant “never-Trumpers” to hold their noses and vote Democrat, alongside the independents and all the Democrats.

If, as I expect, that to result in a sound defeat for the authoritarian admirer of dictators who threatens western values, then hopefully a new regime can emerge and rebuild the Republican Party on a more responsible foundation. Either that or split and a new party be formed.

Too much wishful thinking. If Biden genuinely wanted to keep Trump out, he would have handed over to another and with grace 6 months ago. Too late now.

Trump will be sworn in in 12 months time, but this time he will have learned the lessons of his last debacle.

You really think he will have learnt the lessons from last time? In my view, he is utterly incapable of running anything in a calm, analytical or stable way which are the essential requirements of a world leader. You only have to look at his history in both a business and political sense to see that. This is not someone groomed in a world class business like Unilever, Apple, P&G etc. Indeed, the Trump organisation is a million miles from those types of businesses and leadership.

All he does is generate chaos and he will be extraordinarily vindictive to those he thinks have got in his way. As WE has said, he is also driven by vast ego and criminality - that's what the US would be getting if they re-elect him.

Trump seems inevitable. What would he do ?
Don't try to second-guess a psychopath

Im afraid the Democrats will employ the same dirty tricks that "won" them the last election in this one. They are not worried and thats all you need to know.

So long as there is no Voter ID for the elections fraud will occur.

That is the most ridiculous thing I've read in a long time.It is a flood, you only have to take a trip into midtown Manhattan to see it with your very own eyes. And It must be even worse I'd venture at the border states

Those who follow him either don't believe that or do believe that and vote for him because of it.

Heard a trump supporter genuinely claim he had been sent by God. How can you dissuade that level of numpty thinking?
