In my mind, the first party to drop their Old Man for someone under 65 will win the 2024 general election.

If both parties keep their Leader From the Crypt, the No Labels Party gets onto the field and things at least get interesting. Hope might be too much to ask, but knowing a reasonable person could theoretically become president and the country would begin healing.

Currently, the Dems are ruining their chances of victory by trying to knock Trump out of the race.
The Republicans have a better chance beating the Weekend at Bernie’s, but keep trying to kick him to the curb a multitude of ways.

For you Dems, are you semi secretly (until now) hoping a non-Biden Dem becomes the nominee?
Republicans and Trumpers, are you seeing an opportunity for a new, non orange blood at the top of the ticket?

And if not now, under what circumstance would you drop your Trump or Biden?

I would LOVE for a valid candidate under 60 to appear for the DEMs... or any non Biden Candidate for that matter as i think the country will not step away from extreme tribalism until both Biden and Trump are out of the picture... i believe Biden could beat trump again... doubtful he beats anyone else on the Republican ticket other then maybe Ramaswamy and Desantis... i feel that if the GOP put up Nikki H. they may even get some Dem votes and probably most of the swings.

The candidates are a symptom of the polarization not a cause…if you keep rooting for status quo you’re gonna get more and keep pointing your fingers at the same thing expecting a different outcome.

Understand and agree with you.

What would be your answer to my posted question?

Would you relinquish your support of Trump if it meant a Republican would win the White House?

80+ views and only one person, a Democrat, in a Politics forum which is probably 88.2% Republican is the only guy to even post a consideration of a candidate not named Biden or Trump.

Even I'm surprised in the complete inflexabilty of thought outside the box you created for yourselves.

Good luck.

Did you ever consider the fact that there is no candidate not named Biden or Trump? It’s kinda like asking what would you do if it snowed in Houston in August.


OK, since you’re fishing for a Republican answer let’s assume Trump is imprisoned or assassinated and now the door is open.

I would prefer DeSantis by far but might get stuck with 2011 World Economic Forum Young Global Leader Nikki Haley.

Coming up on 8yrs with the same endless argument. I'd be cool with at least switching for new names. Don't even care who. Carrot Top vs Mr Hankey the Christmas Poo would be fine

Electing Carrot Top is an existential threat to Democracy.

Mr Hankey the Christmas Poo Would be a strong candidate because he recognizes the impacts of climate change and understands the urgency.

I will primary vote for anyone (Haley) over Trump, but NEVER Desantis.
In the general election I hope my choice is between Bidden and Haley as I would vote for her over him in a heart-beat.

This is the type of dialog I was hoping for. Well, maybe not Hockeydad’s, although his snarky cynicism is on brand.

For me, for the moment, it is either JFK Jr. Or Haley. Wisconsin is on the backside of the election cycle so likely it be decided before I get to the booth.

The wildcard in this is the threat of the No Labels party getting into the ring if Biden and Trump are doing a rematch.

Only fools and dead people never change their minds. He’d prefer Halley over Biden. That is refreshing, just like the other Democrat who would prefer almost any other Democrat over Biden. No hint of that flexible mindset upon the Trumpians.

That creaking sound is the balcony full of Better Dead Than Not Vote Trump Red, people. That balcony (which reminds me of the old farts in the balcony of the Muppet Show) which will eventually collapse.

Who are we kidding. It started collapsing with the 2020 election, then more so after the 2022 mid terms, and again in the small group of 2023 elections. Heck even Ohio went Pro Choice. Trying to mandate women’s uteruses and All Trump All the Time peeps are going to knock the Republicans to a knee again.

Republicans have to evolve or die in the coming election cycle. They didn’t learn the last three times, so there are fast forwarding to taking their 4th L in a row. Thumping their chest along the way.

But they can say they held their position to grim death. 🌫 Winning? Nope.
