2025?

[TexasFreedom]

Ok folks...

I'll make the 95% assumption that Trump dominates 2020 and sits in office brutalizing liberals through 2024. It's going to be a fun 5 years. That's a given. The only real question is who is going to lose to Trump, and how badly.

But here's my question. What happens in 2025 (2024 election)? My crystal ball first looks back at Reagan; his incredible 8 years were followed up by his VP (the lame HW Bush). Looking back, I was far from impressed. But right now, Pence has an easy job: do what his boss tells him. Keep doing that for 5 years and Trump will support him for what should be an easy victory (but he's got a lot of growing in these next 5 years to follow Trump's lead). Pence is no Trump, but he can be his own man. Of course, how different will the media be then (I suspect not much)?

And maybe let me expand the question... what is Trump going to get accomplished by 2024? The majority of the wall? How many more SCOTUS appointees? Which Dem's will he take out, prosecuting their crimes? Will he attack the national debt? Any Constitutional amendments? So many fun things to predict!

Well, fortunately, Pence is no GHW Bush either.

Honestly I'm not sure is Pence will run in 2024, we may see Nikki instead, I wouldn't mind to see a Pence/Haley ticket or Haley/Jindal

The Haley Jindal ticket would cause the left to commit suicide, both are none white, both are son and daughter of immigrant parents, a none white women leading the ticket, both are conservative, theirs not a lot the left can say without insulting a whole lot of people forcing them to bite their tongue on a lot of things... it would be fun to watch

Wow, I didn't know about Haley's background. Actually that makes me more concerned about her. Partially raised in India and Canada (liberal worlds). Dad was(is?) a professor (out of touch with reality for most). Went to Prep Schools (again, not in touch with the common American).

I like some of the things she's said/done in the past, but this immersion with the Left really raises my eyebrows. Might she be a RINO? She's made quite a few 'political' moves over the years. Don't know...

I have always thought Jindal was an asset to the Republicans. He has been under utilized in my opinion. They keep trying to recycle the same people ( like Romney) over and over.

Texas, she is Punjabi, and her parents are Sikh, but she is Christian. (she still proudly identifies culturally with Sikhs) Not your typical Indian by a long stretch. Sikh are generally very conservative. Many Sikhs will not fly commercially because they aren't allowed to carry their kirpan (Sikh knife or sword). Many places exempt the kirpan from knife regulations (including the UK)
The reason they carry the kirpan is: "Sikhs are expected to embody the qualities of a Sant Sipahi or "saint-soldier" with the courage to defend the rights of all who are wrongfully oppressed or persecuted irrespective of their colour, caste, or creed."

So it should come as no surprise that Haley is an ardent supporter of the Second Amendment.

It's a no brainier; Hillary/Moochelle. Or Moochelle/Hillary with Oprah for sectary of State. They cover all the bases, colored, trans, "female", lezbo, Socialist and mentally disabled. They appeal to the Democrat base. Plus they'll get Barry Hussain and Slick Willy to campaign for them. How could they not win? That's my prediction.

I don'y see Moochelle running. She has posted about how bad it was on her children and she is making money on her books, without all the trouble of politics. Hellary may need to run just to try and stay out of jail. I don't see any strong candidate wanting to run against President Trump. If the impeachment goes to the Senate, I think Biden is going to get roasted. President Trump has too many verified accomplishment going for him and the Democrats have done nothing in 3 years. Biden was talked into running to save the party and now he is flailing. The latest entry, the billionaire, will split the party. None of the progressives will vote for him and that is about half the Democratic party.

I do like the idea of Nikki Haley. Not sure about Pence, don't know if he is strong enough personality. Pence would make me a bit doubtful but certainly better than an current Democratic possibility. I would certainly vote for Nikki.
