what with all the trump hate i've been doing some research as to who's thinking about running for president. here are the big names (some might suprise you)

raging republicans
so on the rightleaning side we have first and foremost the big man himself: donny J. i mean he hasn't confirmed it but c'mon it's donald trump of course he's gonna run. ted "zodiac attack" cruz and john kasich are gonna try their luck again, joined by United Nations ambassador nikki haley (kinda interested to see how that one turns out). surprisingly enough Dwayne the rock johnson has expressed interest in running republican. y'figure he'd go liberal because hollywood but nope. also would be the first president of polynesian descent, pretty cool.

dastardly democrats
on the left side: hillary clinton is considering running for the 3rd time, but tbh if she couldn't beat donald i don't think she can beat anyone really. mayor of new york bill del balso also wants to run too. obama's vp joe biden wants to run too and is scoring an impressive 31% in preliminary polls by the dnc. there's also bernie sanders who frankly needs no introduction and his protege tulsi gabbard repping hawaii. other names include senator elizabeth "hillary lite" warren and julian castro, secretary of housing.

third parties & wildcards
the libertarians have dumped gary johnson (can you blame them?) and are placing their bets on arizonan journalist adam kokesh, who calls for " orderly dissolution of the federal government". think young, right wing bernie. the greens might go with my homegirl jill stein again, let's see where that takes them. in terms of wildcards we have the obvious kanye west who's going to...rap us to salvation? and mark zuckerberg, the nsa's bestie for life.

with that roster of candidates who would you vote for and who do you think would win? if trump ****s everything up wildly then biden's got it in the bag, but if not i'd keep an eye on the the lib's adam kokesh.

vote gary johnson again or die

is kanye actually going to run?


i know brianna wu is running for congress.

I don't see Kanye being bombastic ever again let alone run for presidency. Mr. West is now Trump's *****.

I want Neil deGrasse Tyson to be president

Let me be real here. If people don't want actual politicians to do politics, then at least pick intelligent people like teachers, military officers, doctors, professors, philosophers and just about anyone else with a sense of decency and respect for democracy. Don't choose rich rappers, reality TV people, game show hosts, Jack Thompson or people known for their cruelty.

1. Biden said he's not running.
2. Sanders, Biden, and probably Warren will all be too old in 2020, if not possibly even passed on (morbid but I'm sorry).
3. Even if Clinton tried to run again she would go absolutely nowhere. She's done.
4. de Blasio probably also doesn't go very far. Call me ignorant for not paying too much attention to local politics but I've noticed that for whatever reason New Yorkers hate him now and it's not out of the question that he's voted out this autumn.

Your best bets at a Sanders-esque candidate (and therefore the most likely to theoretically beat Trump) is going to be Gabbard.

Ben Carson.

Everyone knows that the people who are best qualified to be politicians don't work in politics and work in the private sector instead. That's a fact of life. <.<;

And for ****s sake January 2017 hasn't even ended please tell me there aren't already 2020 reports. I mean, we've yet to see how much the Red Scourge will swell up by in 2018. Yes I'm predicting Republicans maintain control of the entire federal government. >.>

yeah i know, kanyes the only one worth voting for

If people are talking about 2020 that just shows that come 2018 midterms we're screwed as nobody will pay attention.

Dwayne Johnson in 2020!? talk about ROCK the vote!

Some of my friends tell me that President Trump probably won't actually run for re-election.

The GOP seemed like they didn't want Trump in the first place.

They really didn't but when he ended up winning the nomination they backed into him because "at least it's not Hillary".

That said I'm personally convinced he resigns before his four years are up. He's gonna get tired of this if after just one week he's gotten this much push back and protest from everyone.

I don't think that he cares too much about the protesting going on because of him, but I do agree that I could see him resigning before four years.

Supposedly according to some White House insiders and staff (I cannot verify this so take it with grains of salt), Trump has been feeling pretty demoralized over the accusations of not being a legitimate president. Also every now and then he comes on Twitter and posts something in his old style that suggests some things are still bugging him even despite being in office by now.

The stress will probably get to him and he'll resign. Or we'll get a Nixon situation in that he's impending an impeachment and chooses to resign instead. Either way we end up stuck with Pence which could arguably be worse.

Are we sure he'll give up? Trump's philosophy is always win and never lose. If Trump will never admit how he filed for bankruptcy four times or admit defeat in any way, shape or form, then what are the odds Trump will ever resign?

P.S. Bannon, Pence and the rest of Trump's administration must be rid of first. They must all be forced to resign from their positions because even if America successfully gets rid of Trump, his ideals and authoritarian-rule (through his admin) will not.

He won already. He reached office. When the election was still ongoing he playfully hinted at the possibility of turning down the presidency or resigning immediately if he won because clearly all he cared about was winning the election itself.

And if, say, there's incriminating data on his tax returns or anything else that can get him impeached and in serious trouble to where he could be forced out, he will opt to resign so he can then say that he quit on his own terms and save face.

If the dude tweets out how the meeting with Mexico's president was mutually cancelled in an attempt to save face when it very much wasn't, he'll absolutely want to leave on his own terms rather than be forced out.

Also Trump's ideals would be removed if he is since his support from the Republican party exists mostly so they can get what they want done. His ideas are just a side effect that they put up with so they don't have to deal with someone like Clinton or Sanders. If Trump goes and Pence gets in, they'll just double down on what they want, not what Trump wanted.

I could have sworn I heard Donald Trump in an interview stating that he already expects to be president for eight years.

Edit: Looks like he and his administration have mentioned it a few times.

Right now I firmly believe that Drumpf is a puppet president and his strings are being pulled by Steve Bannon. I don't really have proof, but Drumpf clearly has no idea about the details of his own executive actions, and there clearly seems to be a disconnect between him and department officials (example: his saying the immigration executive order is being implemented swimmingly while Homeland Security says it's a **** show and they learned about it the same day as the public. And reports are declaring that Bannon drafted the order.)

And then there are the reports stating that Bannon is being given a permanent spot on the US National Security Council, with Drumpf choosing to have Bannon in all meetings while the Director of National Intelligence and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are now demoted to only attending meetings that pertain to their departments.

At the very least, if he is sticking around, it's clear Trump is only interested in being President of his supporter base.

Well I guess it's fair to say that Clinton and Obama may have also been puppets to George Soros. http://freedomoutpost.com/shad...olling-clinton/
