Yea Donald…..
It HAS dawned on you that you ARE a “Lame Duck’ President….
This IS it….
Actually?
People ARE already talking about your VP JD Vance as your successor….
This SHOULD be a warning to some of his flunkies?
Yup….
Ole Donald ain’t be around past early 2029…..
With a Democratic President?
Things COULD come back at them, eh?
President Donald Trump said Tuesday he would “probably not” run for a third term.
“I’d like to run,” he said when asked about the possibility on CNBC’s Squawk Box. “I have the best poll numbers I’ve ever had.”
The 22nd Amendment prohibits anyone from being elected president more than twice. That applies to Trump as well, despite his two terms being nonconsecutive.
But allies of the president — and Trump himself — have repeatedly floated him serving another term despite that constitutional prohibition. There are possible ways Trump could try to get around this mandate, including repealing the amendment or running for vice president and ascending to the presidency, POLITICO reported.
Trump has previously declined to rule out a third term, telling NBC in March there “are methods” to assume office again if he wanted to.
“Americans overwhelmingly approve and support President Trump and his America First policies…..
Note…
New poll has Trump’s Economy approval at just 38%…….

President Trump said Tuesday it was too soon to settle on a successor to serve as the Republican nominee in 2028, but he acknowledged Vice President Vance is the “most likely” heir apparent.…
The Hill…….
Republicans haven’t won the White House without a Trump or Bish on the ticket since 1972.
That’s 8 out of how many?
We see why with Trump, Eh?
Two different parties at this point if we look at the history.
I suggest Democrats take no chances and offer their nomination to a Bush.
Ha, ha, ha😁‼️
But the sequence IS for a Democratic Resident and. Democratic Congress historically ….
People gonna want a Democrat to have dirty job of cleaning up Trump& Co’s Mess
Democrats seem headed to a major internal division. Whoemver is nominated for President is going to have to unite the party.
If the person is seen as far to the left, then they are going to lose a lot of traditional Democrats, something that has been happening since Obama. If the person is considered to be relatively centrist, then a lot of the far-left types are going to not be on board.
The way things are headed, both major parties are going to seem very different than what they were 20 years ago.
There may internal differences
But after the split last November?
One would think the OVERWHELMING vote would be FOR WHOEVER isn’t named Vance (Trump)
Cori Bush? No thanks.
I will say again that after the midterm, assuming Trump’s health has not taken a turn, he will express a desire to run again. He will say how “unfair” and “un-American” it is that he is not allowed to run again and this will force all Republicans to go on the record and say that Trump should be allowed to run again. Almost all will, even if they do not believe it of course.
If Republicans beat expectations in the midterms, he will take all the credit. If the midterms go badly for Republicans he will say that his being on the ballot is the only way for Republicans to win.
This matter is likely to dominate political talk in the first half of 2027.
@Scott P
The string is even longer than that: the GOP has not won the White House without a Nixon, Bush or Trump on the ticket since Herbert Hoover and Charles Curtis in 1928 — a mere hundred years before our next election.
1928 Hoover & Curtis
[1932 Hoover & Curtis[[1936 Landon & Knox][1940 Willkie & McNary][1944 Dewey & Bricker]1952-56 Ike & Nixon
[Nixon & Lodge[1964 Goldwater & Miller]1968-72 Nixon & Agnew
[1976 Ford & Dole]1980-88 Reagan & GHW Bush
1988 GHW Bush & Dan Quayle
[1992 1GHW Bush & Dan Quayle][1996 Dole & Kemp]2000-04 GW Bush & Dick Cheney
[2008 McCain & Palin][2012 Romney & Ryan]2016 Trump & Pence
[2020 Trump & Pence]2024 Trump & Vance
2028 ?
Part of this is that the GOP didn’t nominate more than a couple of tickets without Nixon or a Bush between 1950 and 2005 (Goldwater-Miller in 1964, Ford-Dole in 1976 and Dole-Kemp in 1996.
As CG & others will have noticed I get obsessed with possibly-enlightening trivia like this:
From 1896 to 1988, only 6 elections have failed to include a Roosevelt (7x), Bush(6x>,Nixon(5x) or Bryan (4x) on at least one of the tickets (in 1900,TR for VP faced WJ Bryan for Pres).
A prize (?) for the first to calculate which six elections.
Time to adopt and adjust that classic Republican slogan from 1940:
