U.S. Presidential Election

Thought I’d resurrect this thread given last nights announcement…

Trump is officially running for President again in 2024:

Not that there was any doubt that he would, but considering he’s just lost the republicans the midterms and they all seem to slowly be turning their backs on him in favour of DeSantis instead, this is gonna be another fun couple of years in American politics. Cannot wait for the Republican primaries and then to see what Trump does when/if he isn’t the front runner. Cannot wait to see the party tear itself apart with Trump hanging like an albatross around their neck.

Biden was actually electable though. 
 

Just shows you that a two party system doesn’t work. You don’t vote for who you want. You vote for the least worst option. 

They tried the 3 party thing for a while in the 80s and 90s and it caused chaos.

Trump's call to eliminate the constitution is evidence of how out of touch he is.

Let the guy run. Biden will win without breaking a sweat.

It’s quite funny seeing Republicans in equal parts trying to distance themselves from him but also clinging on to him just in case he does actually win the nomination. They’re so fucked. 2020 was a real nail biter, but a Biden/Trump rematch (which I hope it isn’t, but a very realistic possibility) would go to Biden handily.

yes, quite likely now after these mid terms were seen as not so bad for the Democrats and Biden. 

Surely his age is a massive determining factor … although that could probably have been said last time … when’s this election? Need to update thread title

Christ. 

Next election will surely be 2024?

Yes, his age is a big factor...but it's kind of up to him isn't it? If he feels up to it, and that he can win, he'll probably go for it. Some people will maybe try and persuade to step aside, but he's probably been emboldened by the midterms, and Kamala Harris who was seen as the most likely to stand is now not seen as any good.

200+ pages though about the 2020 election so probably makes sense to keep as is.

Good shout. Someone could start a new topic with a new topic title

Seems to be a consensus online Vivek Ramaswamy won the first Republican primary debate. Maybe DeSantis isn't going to be the one to benefit from Trumps issues.

Ramaswamy is a f**king nutjob who seems to be pandering to the MAGA crowd as best possible. Does well in online polls but when it comes down to it, he’s dead in the water. 

Desantis is an absolute personality vacuum who has gotten less and less support the more he’s appeared to a wider audience and has just gotten far too wrapped up in all his anti-woke bollocks. 

The clear ‘winner’ imo was Nikki Haley who was one of the few who seems to have her head screwed on/not totally insane, but unfortunately for the majority of todays Republican Party, that’s a negative these days, and y’know… the fact that she’s a woman, and not white, so she’s got no chance. 

I know it’s foolish to call it this early, and we’ve still got over a year left, but I just can’t see a scenario where Republicans win next year, especially with Trump looming over them as the constant front runner. If it’s Biden vs. Trump again, Biden wins.

    • So we've signed a Horny Czech, and Bruno's turned up the training camp instead of doing Isak's nonsense.   Still not sure I believe Bruno's staying mind, but glad he's not doing the sh*t Arsenal are asking him to do to lower the price. If they want him they can stump up.   My suspicion is that whichever of Madrid/Man City don't start next season with Rodri will go for Bruno, and one of them will come in while Arsenal have f**ked about trying to get him cheap, which while I absolutely want to keep him, would still be good enough bants and a nice middle finger that I wouldn't mind it so much. I just wish we'd report Arsenal for tapping up.   If rumours are to be believed, we're after 2 more defensive signings, and an attacking player, on top of a replacement if Bruno leaves, having already signed a LW, 2 CMs, a GK, and some youth players. Huge churn, but apart from a couple of Bazou Toure's games for Ivory Coast at the world cup, I've not seen any of them play. Over 2 summers we've basically changed our entire team aside from the CBs.
    • I think the level of headliners Bloodstock get is varied    There's been bands who have gone on to play Download in quite a low spot like Meshuggah, Behemoth, Opeth etc.    Then they've had years like 2025 where you can argue that all three headliners are download main stage sub level    Knocked Loose right now i'd argue are 3rd down on main/opus headliner level while EC and FFDP are borderline main stage sub
