Ivanka may run in 2024 in an attempt to cash in on Trumpism but I think it's over if Biden takes this.
Not sure how the country is going to react to no more 24/7 Trump.
It'll be weird.
No Trump will ever be allowed into the GOP again. Don't get me wrong, Trump has done wonders to steal the blue collar base from the Democrats, but the man and his family are pure toxicity. Chelsea Clinton wouldn't fair well either. Sean Parnell just ousted Democrat Connor Lamb in Pittsburgh. Look for him to be a rising start in the GOP - late 30s and a decorated combat veteran who lead a company of men in Afghanistan. Veterans like me are getting really tired of these reservists who served as lawyers and spent 4 months at a Hilton pretending to be John Rambo.
Who the hell is this guy?
Maybe you should actually try to understand my arguments rather than assuming I'm the Trump loving sycophant I've told you for 4 years I'm not.

This is despicable. If Trump doesn't condemn this immediately he has no credibility when he condemns antifa rioting.

I wish I knew how to quite you, Nate.
I'm a little surprised no one has called MI, given that the Wayne votes will be Democratic, it's quite obvious that the Kent, MI votes will be Democratic (even though Trump leads the tabulated count so far there), and there's extraneous vote in D areas (Kalamazoo/Genesee) too

CNN just called Michigan for Biden.

Re: Current Events Thread
Peters now leads James with .1% in Michigan. GOP may be kept to just 52 seats.
Re: Current Events Thread
Aha, so here's why Team Trump rushed to declare victory in Pa.
My back of the envelope estimate was that Biden needed 67% of the outstanding vote to win PA. Since I started tracking, he's gotten 76% of what has come in

Ok, what have you done with the real Flagg. Seriously though, agree that Trump and his family are horrible people. The thing is if I think they would have won if they ran a regular politican who took the coronavirus more seriously I think Republicans may have won.
It'll will be interesting to see who they run in 2024. Either a female like Nicky Haley or a centrist like Kasich/Dewine/Larry Hogan.
Kasich is persona non grata to the GOP. And there's a good chance he gets a spot on Biden's cabinet. I know people call bullshit when I say I have friends high up in Washington, but it's true and they universally tell me Kasich is excommunicated. One of my good friends was in the room when Kasich got offered the VP slot in late 16. Niki Haley would be a fantastic pick and I hope to see her more in the coming years. I have serious doubts Biden can run again in 2024. Conspiracy nuts say Pelosi's 25th amendment nonsense recently was for Biden, not Trump. I disagree, but the stress of the presidency isn't going to help his mental state regardless of how well he is today. 82 is fucking old.
It was kind of known/unspoken that Biden will only be a one term prez. Which was why the Vice President pick was so important. Since that person was going to get a leg up on the other Democratic "contenders". Assuming she doesn't screw up, the Democratic nominee will probably be Kamala Harris. But it's early and anything can happen in 4 years.
And it's pathetic that Trump is now seeking to stop the vote count because he'll probably be down in those states that he is contesting.
