There is an unwritten rule that past presidents do not criticize following presidents. (Not that this ever stopped the deeply unclassy Trump.) it actually takes quite a bit to get a past president to do so, and usually such comments are couched in vague terms.
I don't think Trump is talking about elections with candidates when he mentions a third term. More like martial law and suspending elections due to a national state of emergency over a few states thwarting his rule and allowing trans people to exist.
Trump's dementia kicks in pretty soon, and he hasn't even served 4 months in THIS term. It's always a bunch of BS with him to take our attention away from the crap that's going on. I also think the 2nd amendment people may have a say, unless he takes that away, too.
And Obama doesn’t even have to govern. All he has to do is win and then turn the govt over to Michelle Obama, or Hillary Clinton, or Kamala Harris. They don’t even have to move back to Wash. Trump barely spends any time there, so we know it’s fine. Perfect plan!
Plenty of people want those people to be president. Hillary Clinton beat Trump in the popular vote by 3 million votes. And Kamala Harris only lost by about 1 mil. Biden beat Trump by more than 8 mil. Almost as many people voted for Harris as Trump. Nobody wants Elon Musk to be Pres, not even MAGA.
Harris and Clinton lost because they offered nothing. No sane person wants them to run again. The US desperately needs an alternative to neocons and fascism.
Disagree. They must have offered something or they wouldn’t have garnered so many votes. Hillary Clinton’s popular vote margin over Trump was the highest in history at that point. It’s possible they lost because they are women. Also, Russia interfered to help Repubs win in both elections.
STOP ENTERTAINING THIS NONSENSE! TWO TERMS AND YOU'RE DONE.
DOTARD, OBAMA, BUSH... I DON'T CARE.
STOP SUGGESTING BARRY COULD THEN RUN AGAIN! STOP TRYING TO LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN FOR MORE THAN 2 TERMS!
SLAM THE DOOR SHUT AND SAY LOUDLY NO!!!!
Al, the opening of your most recent podcast is exactly how i am feeling. Thanks for saying it out loud.
Total aside, now you can say i was a senator AND i played one on tv. It was such a fun romp.
If Trump launches a war in 2028 he can claim a wartime postponement of a federal election. He could milk that for another 3-4 years. That wouldn’t be available to Obama.
He can claim a lot of things - he does already - but a wartime postponement of federal elections is not a thing. Not in the Constitution (not that he gives a crap) and no precedent for it in US history.
The states would elect new Dem congress leaders and impeact/convict/incarcerate #presshitbag.
My prediction is that he declares some kind of emergency and gets the Red state governments to go along with him to postpone elections. Law abiding states hold elections, but Trump will claim that without all states, the election is null and void. He will have to be forcibly ejected from office.
Yes when term limits were set in 1950s it seemed to resolve that possibility. I just wonder if he’s watching Zelenskyy delaying an election on this basis and doing some election calculus.
Call me old fashioned, but I believe the Constitution should be upheld as law. How on earth would the courts allow this? If Trump is on the ballot for 2028, our nation is done.
They've already said that they would revise it to state that it's as long as you didn't serve 2 terms consecutively to ensure it only applies to Trump. You know how they roll.

Also, I think it's horrible that because we eat our own, you're not in the Senate anymore.
