For all his faults, Donald uniquely has the charisma to pull this act off. His children are all rizzless goofs. My personal feeling is that anyone trying to do “The Trump” will fail miserably. What we’re more likely to see is someone else come along with a different style but that’s also charismatic.
Yeah, everyone else trying to be Trump 2 has spilled their spaghetti. Ramaswamy even tried to out crazy Trump and make up for the batshit insanity of his ideas by just doing a Benny Shaps and talking fast, and he couldn’t beat old puddin’ fingers. DeSantis tried his ass off to set himself up as the rightful heir to the throne, and ended up speedrunning a failed campaign. Haley’s having better success by just trying to do her own thing. I kinda think that MAGA is really a cult of personality around Trump, and there isn’t really a MAGA movement without him.
Anyway, if he runs again in 2028, man, just drag America out behind the shed and put it down. It’s just getting too painful to watch.
I honestly thought DeSantis stood a better chance. He’s got the traditionally ideal resume, although he failed to really leverage that in his campaign, probably out of fear of angering the MAGA base. He’s certainly smarter than Trump and possibly more malevolent. But, he lacks the charisma and personality of a used care salesman and doesn’t have the Vince McMahon like faux tough guy image that Trump has spent a few decades honing.
Trump is a moron, but he’s smart enough to know that there is an alarmingly large segment of the American population for whom politics is like wrestling. He doesn’t have to deliver on jack shit. He just has to put on a great show and the "fans"will keep coming back for more and emptying their pockets for him on the way in. Hell, that’s what he’s done for his whole career.
Haley knows she can’t compete in that arena which is why she isn’t even trying. She’s hoping to pick up enough disgruntled traditional Republicans to make a dent but I’m not not sure there are enough left to give her any serious momentum.
