    The GOP is now talking about either Junior or Ivanka in 2024....by then trump will have appointed half the federal judges in place. The US is well on the way to becoming just another Authoritarian Regime.

    Have hysterics much? Dems are if anything, blatantly hypocritical.

    You forgot that the dems are talking about Michelle Obama jumping into the 2020 race for president? Before that they were talking about Chelsea running for the Senate and then off to the presidency. And, BTW.... Hilary actually ran for president twice.

    It's what these sycophants do, they place the children and wives of a past presidents up on a pedestal. As if simply being around a president somehow imbues their family members with presidential powers, or some crap.

    So, only Democrats can have family members succeed them?

    First it was Bill and then Hillary was Senator and she attempted the Presidency and lost and then the left-wing media fawned over the possibly of Chelsea running for office.

    Then there was Barack Obama and now the left-wing media is fawning over the possibility that Michelle will run for office.

    But that's OK, right?

    Utter garbage . Far less so than alternating Clintons and Bushes as far as the eye can see, both little more than acceptable figureheads for the ever growing administrative state.

    A political dynasty on the making, but the GOP's will oppose that I'm sure, a lot of them wanted to become POTUS as well.

    Wow you on the left real loop like to go off half cocked. The poll ask if they would support any of the candidates and to vote for all that apply. I do think that a guy who makes up a poll and put names down on a question equates to the Republican party is supporting and talking about about have a Trump kid run for president in 2024. You silly dems and your completely irrational hatred of anything Trump occupy much to much of your thoughts.

    Neither would ever win, though both would be better than their father, course that bar is pretty low

    Please just stop with the inept use of jargon you plainly don't understand. Nothing about the U.S. is an "autocracy."

    If Trump is reelected and you don't like that, you have no one to blame but yourselves. You could have used the vast media superiority subtly, and could have simply hybridized and stolen Trump's policies for your own, then subverted them later.

    You chose the brickbat route that fools no one in the net age though. Now you will have to commit fraud to a degree never before seen to win. Best get busy hiding away ballots, you're going to need ten million or more.

    So I guess you had better just accept it. Peace and prosperity is the new future not some left wing living hell.

    It's really scary when you think about the possibilities; remember Dubya got elected and he was no mental heavyweight either. Stranger things have happened.

    A hellofalot better than a socialist take 70% of my income, illegals get everything free, government gets to decide who lives and who doesn’t get medical treatment, citizens are limited to one gun with one bullet environment that some political party wants to do to with my country.

    A vote for a Democrat is a vote against your freedom.

    Thankfully, Trump prevented the 3rd term of Saul Alinsky and the fascist left. We have alot to thank Trump for. If not for his resounding victory, the US would look like Venezuela, or worse, San Francisco.

    President Trump is the worst authoritarian ever. No authoritarian ever has cut regulations by a third, cut taxes and taken the "boot of government" off of the "neck of business". There's no doubt that President Trump is an authoritarian, he's just so bad at it that I think we should reelect him.

    President Trump is the worst racist ever. No racist has ever been of more benefit to those not of their preferred race than President Trump.

    President Trump is the worst war monger ever. No war monger has ever passed up more opportunities to go to war against their avowed enemies than President Trump.

    Like I said, we should reelect this incompetent authoritarian, racist, war monger.

    And, don't even get me started on what a terrible robber baron President Trump is.

    That would be freakin awesome? Can you imagine the liberal meltdown if Ivanka was elected as the first women president? By the way, you wouldn't know an authoritarian one ran over you.

    Well, that's silly.

    We just had the wife of a former president almost get elected to the presidency, and I didn't here you warning of an Authoritarian Regime over that.

    If we want Ivanka or Junior or Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton, or Chelsea Clinton, we'll vote for them ... or not.

    The presidency is fast becoming authoritarian for sure. But the problem isn't who has held the presidency or which party. It's that congress continues to cede their powers to the administration and different government agencies and departments. This has been happening for a very long time. The problem is that members of congress that are of the same party of the president act more like they are members of the administration than members of the institution of congress. They try to give the president of their party all the power and everything else he wants even if it means weakening and making congress irrelevant.
