Had that not been touched there would've been a better chance - but (assuming Trump loses) I don't think 4 yrs is long enough to recover with any candidate that would be untainted - but perhaps in 8 yrs so long as they come with a more moderate candidate.

That being said - if Harris doesn't pick a more moderate VP then I'm going to say "not my President". I do still plan to vote all red in any local elections because IMHO Harris is too progressive.

I also honestly don't see Harris uniting the US at all in the next 4 yrs. POTUS needs to really look at ALL American constituents and not cater to any 1% or 2% groups and push everyone else aside. The "assimilate or else" group think has to stop. So if that gets worse...and we get someone even remotely viable in 4 years they actually might have a chance.

I fail to see how Biden and Harris are not trying to unite. The GOP is just that far gone.

There are many who are only voting for Harris because of the abortion/women's rights issue.

The broad coalition getting behind Harris is an even bigger tent than Biden's. If people don't see it, that is a them problem.

The many posts deriding Kelly for VP or any "straight white man" for VP is proof that Dems are not trying to unite - maybe Harris will prove me wrong, but I doubt it.

Not sure he'd be the GOP successor...but I'd love to see Matthew McConaughey rise up in the political ranks!!!!

Honestly, I’ve seen the opposite. Overwhelmingly people have been proposing a straight white male for VP and we all know why.

In fact that’s the only reason Pete isn’t the frontrunner here, which is really regrettable. He would be great! I like him and Walz.

Re: the topic at hand, Trump’s successor. I’m not familiar enough with young talent in the Republican Party. Unfortunately the Matt Gaetz and MTG suck up all the air in the room with their presence, no one can get a word in. DeSantis bombed on the national stage just now and FL is also struggling under his leadership. JD Vance is an obvious non-starter.

Maybe Hogan?

This is a really strange thing to say/cite as evidence that Harris is not trying to be unifying.

Sigh...I hope not. My son is 14 and has never known a presidential election without Trump in it. Now he might end up voting in an election with Trump in it.

He won't be. Males as fat as Trump don't make it to 82. Even then, he won't mentally be there in four years.

He isn't mentally there now, and the GOP doesn't care.

I think he may have actually lost some weight. Stumbled onto a recent fundraiser golf thing and his middle looks smaller and looser.
Of course, weight loss at that age is not always a good sign in terms of health.

My nightmare Pres would probably be Gym Jordan. Josh Hawley would have that video that got memed to death during the Jan 6 hearings. Maybe Rubio will get his day. God forbid Greg Abbott, let him be the pres of secession Texas.

Plenty of GOPers love Trump simply because of Dobbs.

I had to look it up. He dabbled briefly with backing Trump but not for long and left Congress on his own. I think it got too weird for him.

Fun fact: Through his marriage, Ryan is related to Supreme Court justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. (Wikipedia) And George Wallace (I want to see that 23 and me)
Sounds like he spends his time staying fit due to history of early heart attacks in his family. And collecting awards and honors.
