    So who is supposed to run against Trump in 2028? Biden can’t… does he think the idea is to just kick the can down the road another 4 years?

      Whitmer I reckon, Progressive governor of a swing state, and who knows first hand that the ultra right are fucking dangerous loons that need the hand of God brought down on them.

      Trump won’t win the nomination in 2028, so if he’s still alive and still semi-intelligable, he’ll launch a third party campaign that splits the conservative vote and gives the Dems 4 more years. You saw it here first.

          The question wasn’t who the best candidate is, It’s who is supposed to run against Trump.

            Why, so we can 4 more years of the status quo thats killing all of us? Trump isnt the problem, hes a symptom of the problem.

              I don’t like him, it’s just that I think he’s the most likely candidate that we’ll be stuck with.

              Assuming the party doesn’t just go with Manchin as a fuck you to progressives.

      Pritzker or Manchin (though I doubt the democrats would allow it) have enough crossover they could get votes from all sides.

        Manchin (though I doubt the democrats would allow it)

        Honestly, if he announces his candidacy for 2024, I suspect a chunk of the “You’re a Trump supporter if you are even slightly dissatisfied with Biden” crowd will happily jump ship.

        I hate Manchin so much. But I would definitely vote for him over Trump. Better an ordinary asshole grifter and a fascist grifter with his own cult.
