    What’s your over/under on when he suggests he should get a third term?

    Why didn't he suggest that last time?

    He still had a second term to look forward to. But he did once suggest he was owed 2 more years in his first term due to the Russia investigation.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      That's reasonable.

        Did anyone have 3 days on their bingo card?

        I didn’t make a guess, but had I done so it would have been around midterms. Trump is already outperforming my expectations.

          Trump doesn't like to lose, but if the rule says he has to retire in 2028 when he's 82 I don't think he'll mind stepping aside and letting his protégé (Vance) take over in 2028. That would be a good GOP legacy, and it doesn't involve him risk losing.

          To your original point @LuFins-Dad I think that is a good analysis. He was certainly caught off guard in 2016 when he won, but now he knows how the Swamp works.

            I think the better reason why Trump won't try to run for a third term, is that he'd need to amend the constitution to do so.

              Call me a n00b but I always thought it was a limit of two terms consecutively... I didn't realize it was a total of only two terms.

                  Easy fix… Just make him Speaker of the house after his term, then have the duly elected President and VP step down…

                      We'd have just elected Obama for the fourth time.
