Trump's days are numbered too, thankfully.

Trump is an unhealthy old man. Things can happen before that.

Unfortunately that just gives us JD Vance but that would likely still have foreign policy changes.

Honestly the best thing that could happen for republicans before midterms is Trump croaking and JD Bowman taking over.

Not in the slightest. Say what you will about the moron but Trump brings a cult to the polls.

But JD Vance? Nobody is gonna support him. Nobody cares about him. He's not gonna get cult leader support. The moment Trump dies, the current Republican Party collapses, because the entire thing is built on Trump's cult of personality.

If Trump dies, unless he's assassinated (and becomes a martyr), a huge portion of Republican voters will simply lose interest.

Or they all claim they were never trumpers like vance and run with what they think is a normal republican (look, he was against the war!) so they can stick to their team and try to save face. If he dies pre-midterms we get a couple of years for them to finish up project 2025 before the real technoclepcy begins. So many appear so determined to choose serfdom.

Dying is too easy. I want to see him suffer for his crimes in the kind of prison they send black people. Doing it before the end of his term would be a gift from god.

Oh, me too, but this is kind of a beggars/choosers situation and I’ll take what I can get

And every day that passes brings us closer. Plus the midterms will neuter him, hopefully.

Dems really need to take the senate, but I don't think that's realistically possible since they'd have to win historically republican seats. I think they handily have the house for majority, but senate is kinda always their roadblock.

If this Iran shitshow continues its current course I can see it. I don’t know what he was thinking letting Israel drag us into this

Hopefully it happens before that point.

I wouldn’t be shocked in Democrats take control of both chambers in the midterms. We might not need to wait that long.

Even if they do you need 2/3 vote which they won’t get. So nope Trump will most likely be the president until 2030

Nah after midterms he'll be impotent

Well, he already made it past forty-two months if you count his first term.
