      I would imagine there's a significant chunk of people who voted for Trump in 2020 that would not vote for him in 2024 given his antics after he lost by a landslide. In other words, I can't imagine he would pick up many votes, but likely has lost millions.

          If it is Trump v Harris, I can't imagine Harris getting any votes, not even one.

            That scenario would change my mind. But I don't see it happening unless Joe resigns.

              Resign?

              At Joe's age, he may not live that long.

                Yeah Joe won't run again. Presuming Harris is the defacto Democrat nominee, I could see Trump winning the primary path and becoming the candidate again, resulting in Harris vs Trump. It's how he did it in 2016 during a GOP field that was too large, I could see it happening again.

                Can you imagine how many snowflake heads would explode if Trump won again?

                  He didn't lose by a landslide. It doesnt matter how many times you say it, it won't make it come true.

                    I don't think the Dems will run her. Too polarizing, too little accomplishment at the border. Cory Booker is more likely.

                            At https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/politics/democratic-party-presidential-nominee-odds/ is a list of possible Democratic candidates with their nominee odds. Biden is at the top, then Harris. Then Elizabeth Warren, then Michelle Obama. Further down is, wait for it, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez -- which, though farcical, is not surprising, though I'd have thought even that shark would've had the grace to wait for a bit more maturity.

                            Anyway, unless a sleeper emerges, and we can always hope, the Democratic field looks pretty hopeless.

                              She would turn 35 only a few months before taking office. I checked because I figured she's too young to even run in 2024, but I was (barely) wrong.

                                @89th She's too everything else though -- stupid, annoying, oblivious, short.

                                I wasn't thinking of chron age when I wrote that. Something more epiphanous, more wisdom-ish, as unlikely as that is.

                                Come on, 89th, tell me the mental image of AOC sitting at the Resolute desk doesn't fill you with the cauld grue.
