Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

Minnesota is a no go, it's the Right's Texas at this point. Virginia... possibly. If Youngkin keeps his quiet and steady approach it will engender some good feels, and if Trump can dial his rhetoric in a little it will cinch it.

I don't think anyone should count VA as being a swing state; at least for candidate Trump. The Karens of Loudon might have grudgingly voted for GOPe Youngkin because McAwful decided to derail his own campaign over the rape case, but that doesn't mean they broken free of their TDS just yet.

Unless of course, Biden does something similarly exceptional.

More points to Tulsi then.

The pendulum will swing back the other way before 2024. Two years in [current year] is a long arse time. Just look at what changed between 2019 and 2021. The uniparty may (or may not) be well and truly dead, or on its' last knees, by 2024, and she will be the best candidate they have. As it stands now, she's the best anti-Trump defence the left have.

They won't run her, is the problem. The Uniparty's influence wanes but it will take more than 2 years to die. It'll remain around for a decade at least, slowly losing all power and relevence. But it won't be gone. And for at least the next two, probably four election cycles it will hold enough power to block candidates.

Virginia and Minnesota are tough.

Virginia is full of Bill Kristol Republicans and a lot of left leaning independents. Youngkin winning was while carrying Trump's base while picking off the left leaning independents who swung.

Minnesota would be the "easier" of the 2 to flip, judging by 2016 and 2020 margins. However, the problem is the structure of the Minnesota Dem party is extremely strong, because they are branded differently. The DFL (Democratic Farmer's Labor) thus takes the Democratic urban base while scooping up labor and union workers in the Iron Range to the north of the state, eating into the rural margins needed to flip it. It's similar to how the Reid machine in Nevada kept the state blue for over a decade, due to hotel unions in Las Vegas shoring up the votes to keep it blue. However, if the DFL gets taken over by the incompetant Democratic Socialists like in Nevada, you may see a collapse for them.

For Virginia, Republicans have to do better with independants and consolidate. For Minnesota, Democrats have to collapse.

I heard somewhere that Trump and Desantis can’t be on the same ticket because they are residents of the same state?

Is that a rule, or political math?
Click to expand...
iirc it's not a specific "you can't do this" rule, but there's something about it queering the math on the electoral college votes for some weird reason?

They will never run Tulsi, not while any of the old crones like Pelosi or the crocodile tear kikes like Schumer hold any power. And tbh, after the way they fucked her over last time, I'd be surprised if Tulsi even ran as a Democrat. She's been edging closer and closer to the Republican side, or has been mentioned itt, it's more that the Dems have left her behind the same way they did Reagan. I think if she runs again it will be as a republican, the Dem power base hates her and the voting bloc of golems they have programmed still think Tulsi is a Russian asset because Rachel Madcow told them so. There wouldn't be any point to it, and she's had a good glimpse now at what the modern left has become, a snarling disgusting beast which should be put down.

I'd be very curious how Tulsi and DeSantis would get along. They both seem to be very intelligent and Tulsi could provide an asset to DeSantis in helping persuade independents that he wouldn't go full Trump mode and would have someone from the other side there to check him. She's liked enough among republican voters that even if she didn't get the ticket nom she would be a great VP for the right president for that specific reason.

Tulsi would have to compromise hard on her gun control positions to get there. Because if she had her way, Kyle Rittenhouse wouldn't have had that AR-15 he defended himself with.

Honestly, I think she would. And that is coming as someone who actually isn't terribly fond of her. She is pragmatic and, unlike a lot of people on the left, aware of the twin follies of the left. If compromising one position is what is required to help prevent the total collapse of the American political left, she'd probably do it.

We're going into political thriller movie territory here. I can see the tagline already: To save the left, she must go right.

Is the informal sector in the US that large that they think they can get any substantial sum out of trying to squeeze the small guys? Somehow, I don't think so.

Of course, closing corporate loopholes is completely off the table because guess who has the entire federal government in their back pocket...

If Trump picks her as VP, I can't imagine her going quite easy on Trump. I'm sure they'll butt heads.

Liberals don't like Tulsi for voting present on Trump's impeachment, defending Rittenhouse, the Assad stuff, the Modi stuff and criticising Biden and Hilldawg over the years.

Progressives don't like her for endorsing Biden over Sanders in 2020 and coming out against the trans sports shit.

We haven't seen the last of her but she will definitely not stick around in that party

I guess she can join Yang lol
