Incumbents who lose are nothing but political roadkill when they try to run again.

Only one has ever succeeded, and Cleveland lived over 100 years ago. He was the last ex-President to ever try a comeback.

Actually, Teddy Roosevelt was the last former president to try a comeback. But you're right, it's traditionally a lift so huge as to be insurmountable.

OTOH, it is Trump. And Trump has proven again and again that he can con and grift gullible people in ways we thought impossible in America until 2016.

Trump received the most votes of any Republican presidential candidate in history. If not for the barrage mail-in ballots, he would have easily won re-election against the feeble-minded Biden.

And judging how bad the Biden/Harris economy will be in four years, I wouldn't be surprised if Trump runs again and pulls it off. How many times has he proved the doubters wrong?

Well, he didn't prove the doubters wrong this time, did he? He lost. Convincingly. And if he's still alive in 2024 he'll either be in a nursing home or a mental hospital.

I think before moving to a 2024 run, we better sort through the disaster that Dominion Software has made of our election.
There is zero information of any software issues with the election, so that is false and unfounded must be another far right wing non-verified news source that is spouting falsehoods.

I would say that in the likely event the economy collapses within the next year or so, a rock could run against any democrat and win in 2024.

lol at this statement...Mail-in votes are still votes. So if not for the fact that Biden got more votes in the election, then Trump would have easily won...
