its gonna be a fuckin mess imo. my guess is that Trump is gonna play kingmaker, whoever gets Trump's blessing will win (maybe Trump will pick himself, who knows how he'll feel in a couple years)

    the only thing i can imagine right now is more trump, and crude imitations of trump. it seems like a dead end, but i thought they hit the dead end in 2016 so idk where it will go

      I for sure believe we haven't seen the last of Trump, and once Biden is in office he will be back on cable news 24/7 as he's been the single greatest blessing for shock and outrage addiction media. Trump gets views and ratings, so they'll gladly amplify his voice any chance they get. So I'm not too worried about the names and minutiae of who will or won't run in 2024 because that depends on how the GOP will shift their strategy. If they're willing to let Trump run another soft coup and fall in line like in 2016 then they're playing with fire depending on Biden's performance and shifts in demographics. They'll also a have a "fair" open primary without any incumbent to unseat, so they might rig it against Trump if the corporate wing senses they'll lose again.
