I REALLY do NOT think Republicans and Donald Trump want the above ….
President Donald Trump has been publicly musing about running for a third term — now a new poll shows how he would fare in a hypothetical matchup against fellow two-term president Barack Obama.
In recent weeks, the president has floated the idea of running in 2028, despite the 22nd Amendment barring anyone from serving more than two terms.
Late last month, a reporter pressed Trump on his thoughts on ahypothetical matchup between him and Obama, assuming the 22nd Amendment was revised to allow them to do so. “I’d love that. Boy, I’d love that,” Trump replied.
But a new poll suggests that he might want to consider a different rival. Of 1,100 registered voters polled in the April 2 Overton Insights survey, 53 percent said they would vote for Obama and 47 percent said they would vote for Trump.
For that contest to happen, the Constitution would need to change. The 22nd Amendment states: “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.”….
