Wrestleknownothing Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Donald Trump's legal fees are eating away at his campaign funds. Trump's committees and allied Super PAC ended June with $63 million, second to DeSantis' $109 million. Meanwhile, the two entities footing Trump's legal bills ended the month with $4.2 million, about enough to cover one more month of expenses. His legal expenses are expected to be around another $40 million before his cases are through. And he will have to keep spending to win the primary in spite of his current sizeable lead. Will Trump have enough money left for the general election to defeat Biden who does not need to spend on a primary?

DJT Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 To beat Biden, Trump really only needs enough money to fund Cornell West’s campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mspart Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I don't think Trump will be the nominee. I don't think Biden will be the nominee. mspart predicts - The contest will look a lot different in a year from now. mspart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you see a scenario where he steps down, with or without encouragement from his party? Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mspart Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I think you are witnessing it now. Hunter will be his downfall. But the D's don't want decrepit Biden in office again. He is an embarrassment. Like it or not, but most US citizens want a with it President, not some guy who can barely walk and talk. The D's don't either. Do you honestly think that Hunter would be getting so much attention if the Ds really wanted Biden to run? It will be like Lyndon Johnson, he'll bow out to prevent humiliation. That's my opinion. For Trump, he will continue to shoot off his mouth and turn people away from him. He will show how toxic he is and with the indictments against him, there is too much baggage. They keep piling up. Now maybe he is the nominee, but that is far from what I want. I was wrong in 2016 when I thought he was a sideshow freak. He actually won. I don't think lightning will strike twice. There are too many "anyone but Trump" voters out there. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJT Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) It will be Newsom/Obama in some order, and it will be after Biden wins the nomination, so the DNC can insert them onto the ballot without either being in the primaries. RFK will likely (haha.. definitely) sue. Edited August 1, 2023 by DJT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mspart Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Can Obama run even as VP if there is a chance he can be POTUS afterwards? He's done his two terms. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A person can be president for more than two terms, just not in a row. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12th prohibits anyone who is not constitutionally eligible to hold the office of President from holding the office of Vice President. Due to being ineligible to be President via the 22nd amendment, he cannot be vice President via the 12th amendment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if said speaker is a two term President. Edited August 2, 2023 by Plasmodium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries… it’s only the 22nd amendment… It can’t be that important. Side note, isn’t it sort of peculiar that there was a prohibition on alcohol (18) then we gave women the right to vote (19) then immediately decided we needed booze again (21)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely they’d just skip the SOH and put the President Pro Tempore in as President and the Secretary of State in as VP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
