Do you think that Trump will win the 2024 election?

Permanently Deleted

I doubt it. Polls conducted this early aren’t worth much. People who tend to vote for Democrats may wish for a younger candidate than Biden, but when confronted in the voting booth with a choice of fascism or Biden, most will choose Biden.

Conservates: He already won in 2020 just you wait until he rides back in on a bald eagle and jails all the pedophile aliens from Georgia who stole the election. Hunter Biden!

Liberals: I learned my lesson making predictions in November 2020.

Probably. I don't follow US politics closely, but it does feel like we're in the darkest timeline.

Besides, he kind of goatse-d the overton window. Nothing would surprise me now that it's already happened once.

Probably. It's america after all

He doesn't have a chance in the popular vote. He already lost it once (twice, technically). And with how polarizing he's become, only the more extreme fringe actors are outright supporting him, and those with real money want a "safe" candidate that allows them to keep grifting behind the scenes without causing such a big ruckus. He'll lose a lot of big donor support, and people are growing tired of the constant outrage news that he generates.
We've seen how he performs a symphony of a clusterfuck in a 4 year term, and not even the GOP itself is jumping right at the idea of embracing another 4 years of that struggle- they're waffling at the idea, and a lot of the extremist upstarts that got a foothold under Trump now want to knock him out of it so they can have their own moment of glory. But Trump was a one-time shot. He was THE face of "The Big Businessman, doing a Business" that appealed to the older, more bootstrapy kind of crowd that still unfortunately dominates the actively voting public. All the younger extremists are trying to parrot him and can't quite get away with the same level of "crazy" energy without looking actually crazy, since they don't have the gold-plated toilet of "American Success" to back them up.

But regardless of that, will every hard-right extremist fight tooth and nail to ensure he still wins, including but not limited to high treason, rushed gerrrymandering, voter intimidation (or outright slaughter) and the active dismantling of every aspect of democracy down to the local voter box level? You bet your ass they're gonna try here.

I’m going to say no. The loudest people don’t always seem to make it to the polls. Here in Illinois, we heard lots of hate for Pritzker. Anti JB signs everywhere. Only 58% turned out to vote and Pritzker was declared the winner within hours of the polls opening

I think it's a coin flip. You could point to ten reasons it's "obvious" Trump will win and I could give you ten reasons it's "obvious" he won't.

Yes, until proven otherwise… call it a coping mechanism.

In 2020, Trump was blamed for exacerbating the pandemic, the economy was struggling, the Black Lives Matter movement was at its peak, etc. the stage was set for an easy win, but democrats barely won control of the senate and Biden’s victory was close enough to let Trumps election nonsense get traction.

Now going into 2024, Biden is taking the blame for everything, is in a no win situation on Israel, and is doing poorly in polls (especially concerning since lately polls have under represented trump voters.) then there are all the protest voters who imply they will vote for trump out of spite or just cause they hate Biden and the DNC…

My two big questions right now are 1) will trump be in jail (seems unlikely considering how nothing ever sticks to the man and he has a stacked court in his favor) and 2) what effect will the actual campaign season and especially political ads have on voters (a brilliant campaign could do wonders for Biden).

There is also the chance that the average American’s experiences with the economy improve next year. Inflation is down, wages are growing, unions are seeing success, the Israel situation will hopefully be done well before the election, etc.

I’m hesitant to laugh it off and say “there’s no way”.

I'd bet money on it. Joe Biden's failure to do anything material for the public, the crushed railroad strike followed by what happened in East Palestine months later, his unquestioned backing of Israel, failure to materialize any meaningful student loan debt relief. He's running the Obama playbook without any of the charisma.

My 100% honest, best guess is that Joe wins the popular vote and loses the EC, just like how Trump won last time

There is a strong movement to hold a constitutional convention before the next election. It is backed by a right wing group called ALEC. They think they have a loophole to make it happen and the new speaker of the house backs the idea. I think if they had a wider majority it would already be happening. They will rewrite the rules to ensure a hard right anti-civil rights candidate wins.

I don't believe Trump will be the GOP nominee. He will run third party.

No. I think a lot more people on the right were excited about him when he was an unknown quantity. Now that they’ve seen him in office and none of what they wanted happened (no wall, no Hillary arrest) a lot of the energy has diffused and the election is going to be decided by middle - upper class suburban whites who crave normalcy. I lived in Florida in 2016 and everywhere you looked there were trump flags, trump merchandise, etc. I just drove across the country and saw like three trump signs, one in Indiana, one in Kansas, and one in Colorado, and the one in Colorado just said, “thank you for trying to make our country great again”. Loser shit. The energy just isn’t there.

Also consider the shifting demographics. A lot of older people who tend to vote republican died of Covid these last few years while a lot of young people who grew up on anti-trump media and naturally skew left are entering voting age. There are some right wing young people but not a ton, especially compared to previous generations.

We might not have another republican president for a few election cycles. I think when we eventually do, it’ll be a young, savvy politician who doesn’t talk about culture war stuff as much but “just wants to keep taxes low and put America first”, like a further right Pete buttigieg. The current strategy of latching into divisive culture war stuff isn’t working. They want to recreate 2016 but 2016 was such a one in a million aligning of specific conditions that it’s unlikely to work again, even with bidens falling approval ratings due to unpopular support of Israel.

No Biden is set to carry it all, despite what the media wants you to think (so they can get outrage clicks on their websites-looking at you CNN)

Stock market is at record heights, unemployment is way down since the cheese turd was in office. The Drumpfers are definitely loud but their prison bait leader is going to lead them all to another Jonestown disaster. Believe it or not, I think the Supreme Court will be the ones that end the Era of MAGAts.

Never underestimate the stupidity of voters.

I think it’s a bit early to make any kind of educated speculation and wild speculation just isn’t really all that helpful for anyone.

I think he'll die from the stress of 4+ (and counting) simultaneous criminal trials well before any of them are held

Yeah. I do think he will. Most people I know are pro Trump and have been consistently and vocally since last election.

Yes.

Biden has been a damp squib of a President, so even if people dislike Trump they're not going to come out in force to vote for Biden again, whereas Trump supporters certainly will.

considering that he doesnt have the nomination, no. he may not get the nomination. if he does? oh yeah.
