I don't think any of them have a realistic shot at beating a sitting President in a primary. I'm voting not Trump no matter what, and I'll be happy to vote for someone other than Biden, but realistically this is the match up. Biden will get the nomination and the supreme court will eventually rule that Trump can't be kept off the ballot. I've accepted it.
At least I think it will be really fucking hard to campaign or raise funds from the hot seat in a criminal court pretty much every day leading up to the election.
Who is there though? In four more years we need another person to run against Trump… again…
Obama was plucked out of obscurity and was an okay President. There are plenty of people who could stand up and get the job done, but about 5 minutes after this election is the time to start vetting them and making sure they have a better position on the middle east.
Also if Trump doesn't win this time he's done.
I honestly think if Trump was put in prison it would increase support and donations from average fans of his, it helps seal the idea that he is a persecuted outsider fighting against the deep state.
The end goal of the money, besides grifting, is to get him elected. That's just not going to happen if he's convicted. I really don't think it will happen because he'll be so busy with 3 or 5 or whatever criminal trials that he just won't have the time or ability to campaign effectively.
So honestly I'm so for these saps throwing their money at him to set it on fire. Better trump than someone competent.
