The plan I heard Trump put forth will raise inflation and increase deficit spending. A few members on here have said gas prices will go down once Trump says "drill baby drill" as President. Trump has said he will end the Ukraine war in 48 hours. Many seem to believe if Trump is elected everything will be like it was in 2018 and 2019 before Covid. It ain't happening. Immigration might be the only issue where his plan will lower the number some. If we have a recession, as I think we will in 2025, that will lower immigration as it always does. But the numbers will go back up afterward. Trump's reaction will be to give away large sums of money fueling a new round of inflation as we exit the recession and running up the debt to record number again. But Biden would not do much different, so not sure it really matters which of the two idiots win. Neither candidate has a plan to solve the real problems and get us back on track. It will be a rough four years no matter who wins. I think the President who wins in 2028 is going to have a tough job ahead of him or her. That person will be staring at a 5-year deadline on Social Security and have to convince Congress to make tough decisions. Along with public debt that will likely be near $35 trillion and total debt exceeding $40 trillion. My biggest concern with Trump is the damage he is doing to the Republican party. I am afraid after his next four years, it may be impossible to get another Republican elected for quite a long time. i don't care if Biden fucks up the democrats, they need to reset anyways. But if Trump fractures the GOP as I think he will, you're looking a very liberal lean in 2026, 2028 and beyond. I am trying to learn more about Vance. Some of his ideas are not terrible. Some are slightly nutty. But he might be the best out of the four on the ticket right now, If he gets out from under Trump's thumb and makes decisions on his own. Right now he is just playing Trump's second to get the VP position. Thanks for your predictions!! The Republicans are damaged goods already, I doubt Trump makes them worse. I made no predictions, just my opinions on what can happen. A prediction would have started with a definite statement like "The airlines will be bankrupt by the end of the year" Or "The pilots will go on strike" I said "If we have a recession, as i think we will" and expressed what i think will happen if that even take place.

I seem to recall someone around here saying something about nuance being lost on many....and they are quite right.
And that's saying nothing about a disconnection from reality and not knowing the meaning of (or just ignoring) the word "if" and "think".

Folks also tend to both read too fast and respond to fast. Myself included at times.

No Bush's, no Cheney's.... seems like the republicans are moving in the right direction. Need to get rid of the rest of the neocons.

Biden is about to resign in shame. His own party is kicking him to the curb. That just makes me feel MAGA.
