My guess is that someone else will get the nomination, and Trump will be in the background. 

There are a great number of people who I prefer.

I wish it was DeSantis but I really, really don't believe he will run.

Do you think he will?
"I don't DeSantis wants it yet."
Cognitive dysfunction at best.

Duh!

" Florida’s top Republican leaders say they are willing to change state law to smooth the way for Gov. Ron DeSantis to run for president in 2024."

 Commenting on Desantis firing a state AG, the judge in the case brought by the fired AG had this to say about DeSantis:
"This whole thing is chock-full of animus toward [reform-minded] prosecutors," Hinkle said on the last day of a three-day trial in Tallahassee. "Florida law does not allow a governor to remove a state attorney because the governor disagrees with a state attorney's general approach."
"DeSantis declined to testify in his own defense, which O'Neil said left "a massive hole in the center of [the governor's] case."
"Judge Hinkle, meanwhile, expressed concern that no one affiliated with DeSantis contacted Warren or any of his staffers to inquire about his office's practices and policies."
"You do understand he's not getting paid -- they've taken his job," the judge told Newman while he was on the stand. "Didn't you think you owed [Warren] any due process before you suspended him for months? ... At least pick up the phone and call him?"

Animus: "Hostility"

The same thing judges across the country found at the root of Trump's cases brought against innocent parties in whatever frivolous lawsuit he brought forth and lost...

Animus: "Hostility"
No wonder Rich and the mighty righties love him...

from OpEd

"Truth in advertising, though. Mr. Trump is giving Republicans a taste of what they’re in for if they nominate him again in 2024. His presidential campaign is less than a month old. Already Mr. Trump has dined with anti-Semites and a white nationalist, while calling for himself to be reinstated as President, even if this requires the “termination” of whatever in the Constitution stands in the way. What he’ll really terminate is the GOP."
And Kevin McCarthy, the wannabe majority house speaker, said all house Republicans will have to read out loud the constitution when they're sworn in office in January.
As has been said, what he needs to do is to go to Mar A Lago and read it to Trump in his dining room...

Family of Fallen Officer Snubs McConnell, McCarthy at Jan. 6 Gold Medal Ceremony

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Sicknick’s mother, Gladys Sicknick, and brother, Ken Sicknick, were among those who declined to shake the Republican leaders’ hands, according to multiple reports."
"The 42-year-old Sicknick collapsed during the riot, suffered two strokes and died the following day. Capitol Police have said Sicknick “died in the line of duty, courageously defending Congress and the Capitol.”
"Sicknick’s mother ahead of this year’s midterm elections attributed her son’s death to people such as failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake (R), who espoused former President Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election had been fraudulent. The fallen officer’s former partner said she blamed people surrounding Trump for not speaking up before the attack."

I thought Jim Brown told us that Trump is just a big buffoon who doesn't really know anything so whatever happens like his former campaign manager colluding with Russian operatives is just a non-sequitur...

“Mr. Trump is explicitly sanctioning tax fraud,” Joshua Steinglass told jurors in closing arguments, according to the AP."

I seem to recall a con or two on the forum and elsewhere stating Trump was just being smart in avoiding paying taxes because he's so clever and successful as a businessman...
