    Now that Donald Trump has been acquitted of the second attempt at impeachment by the Democrat Party, do you think he should run for the presidency in 2024?

    You may vote on an unlimited basis, but you may not change your vote(s).

    The poll is intended to be a 'snapshot' of opinion now that Trump is clearly eligible to run for the presidency again.

    And, please, please add your comments!

    No, he shouldn't run, there's no way he could pull off a Grover Cleveland. Time for a younger, less abrasive "outsider" to start making moves now, better yet a young charismatic Latino or Black, male OR female (wouldn't matter to me). NEVER forget, the lame-stream insider Republican Party choked on their caviar when Trump won the primaries, even more so when he won the election. They would have been more than happy dealing with a fellow insider like Hillary. They never did, and STILL DON'T have any interest in the issues that drew voters to Trump in the first place.

    I'm hoping that someone like Senator Tom Cotton can be 'groomed' for a 2024 presidential run, which will almost certainly feature the Jamaican Voodoo Queen taking over the 'pole-position' for radical Democrats.

    If (and that's a big "IF") fuddy-duddy ol' Joe even makes it the full four years, he'll surely 'hang it up' in 2024....

    There is still a chance -- just a chance -- that Senator Marco Rubio might make a serious run for the Republican candidacy. He's smart, he's "Latino", and the Republican Party could do much worse than to consider a Rubio/Cotton ticket... or, a Cotton/Rubio ticket.

    But, yeah, I agree, it's time for Donald to enjoying life full-time as a billionaire, playing golf, stockpiling a good supply of Cialis and getting, uh 'better acquainted' with his lovely wife.... A tough job for sure, but I'm sure he could rise to the challenge! :banana:

    Seriously -- We who love this country will always be grateful to Trump for getting three Justices on the Supreme Court that can safeguard the Constitution against any more hyperliberal judicial-sludge like Sotomayor and Kagan. Now, truly, it's time for Donald to 'ride into the sunset'....

    Thank you for the good you did accomplish, Mr. President.

    trump should form his own party, dividing the Republicans in half, guaranteeing Harris a win.

    I have long advocated the idea of age limits on all elected offices but I would like to see Trump lead a new third party. I think the republican party is too divided. I see very little in common with Trumpers and I am sure they see very little common with me.

    You left out an option for wanting him to run as a Republican, but not wanting to vote for him.

    Dems should want hm to run again, and ideally, to be the GOP candidate.

    It worked very well for Bill Clinton, back when Ross Perot ran on a 3rd-party ticket. Stupid ass ME voted for Perot -- twice!

    So, yeah, it's definitely a workable divide-and-conquer tactic, even if the Democrats fall all over themselves for the next four years trying to inflict 'Obama 2.0' on a country where about half the voters are already sick-to-puking-DEATH with radical, America-hating Democrats.

    We need to flush DC in general, the bowl is stagnant and smelly.

    Time for a new outsider, Moderate with a lean either way, who won't let the far divisions of either side push them in a specified direction.

    I don't care about gender or race or color, just someone who actually cares about this country and not their wallet, believes the Constitution is the primary frame of this country and respects it, is willing to tick off some old time politicos by instituting term limits on the DC Weasels, and most importantly, ending the time change twice a year.

    I couldn't enumerate all possibilities, but I did include, "No, he should not run at all, and I would not vote for him."

    Nevertheless, be careful what you wish for. You seem certain a Democrat would win election over Trump, but even you must admit that such confidence depends on the success with which radical hyperliberals can infuse 'neo-socialism' into the national bloodstream. "Obama 2.0" will be very popular with a certain class of parasitic individuals who hope to suck welfare out of the government forever, but it's possible that this viewpoint may not 'carry the day' by the time 2024 gets here! :juggle:

    Consider: Pure Socialism has never been successful in any country it's been tried in for very long without some 'outside force' propping it up! Somebody has to 'pay the bills'....

    I think most Dems want him to run again. I don't know of a poll, though, so I could be wrong. A lot of them seem to want him to run again.

    No, I'm not certain that a Democrat would win election over Trump. I just think he'd be a relatively weak candidate who would harm the chances of other conservative candidates.

    No, that I'd have to hear argument for.

    You can't run for office from prison. ;)

    Even McConnell says he's guilty.

    Maybe in the short run but if Trump can successfully create a Patriot party I think it will lead to 3 political parties. I think he would attract about 60-70% or more of the current republican party. That will leave a small group of republicans that will probably still support strong fiscal and immigration policies and probably are probably more socially progressive since the evangelical wing will go with Trump. The remaining group will be a combination of suburban and urbanites that will be educated and not anti-science. I think that the new republican party will attract a lot of middle of the road democrats who think Sanders and AOC and her squad go way too far left. This will leave the country with 3 fairly evenly sized parties with remaining republicans and moderate democrats making up the middle and the extreme right and left on the wings.

    Won't happen, not unless we get rid of our old friend the Electoral College.

    In 1991 Ross Perot got 13% of the popular vote and NO EC votes. The way it is set up purposely excludes third parties right from the beginning. This is another point in favor of getting rid of it. though I am really no friend of 3 party schemes

    Anybody who really understands the Constitution cares more about their wallet than anything, the Constitution is a moneymaking document, first and foremost and was written as such by a consortium of rich and successful men who wanted to stay that way. Smart rich people want to be free and know they can't do that alone.

    Ending the Time Change was the entirety of my platform as a candidate for President in 2004, How can we remain a sane country if we're all stumbling about in the dark asking what time it is?

    After four years and seeing all of his administrations accomplishments, having made us more secure, stronger, more just and prosperous, with the Abraham peace accords, snuffing out ISIS and other terrorist leaders...I voted for him with gusto in 2020. I also liked the way he nailed the media for its fakery.
    But after what has transpired with the DC riot and Trumps four years of off hand remarks which gave the liberal media license to mock him, bury his accomplishments, divide and dumb down the populace and hand the election to Biden. I don't think that he should run again unless he can completely change his personality and style which I don't think is possible.

    I voted for Rubio in the primaries. He's sharp and I think that he gets it as far as the motivation of our Founding Fathers. IOW, his oath would mean something.

    Trump will run in 2024, he doesn't want to be President, he just doesn't want to be labeled a one-term President, it's all about Trump's fragile ego, he doesn't care about this country

    that said, Trump will lose in 2024, the question is, will he incite more violence?

    I don't know what you mean by an 'outsider' .
    But I am done with amateurs in that office. I want an actual record in office I don't care whether it is inside Washington or a Governor though to compare with what he says he can do. I want someone who has actually held a political office so I know he has the political skills and acumen to be effective working with politicians, the parties, and working in this field at all.

    Can Trump run for office while in the middle of a divorce? Cause unless he has a new wife by election time, I don’t think Melania is going to go through that again.

    I couldn’t vote as my answer isn’t available
    A: Yes, he should run as a Republican, and I will not vote for him.

    He should run as a Republican (and if they don’t let him as a MAGAt) from now till he no longer can.
