Will Trump be Ambushed for 2020 Nomination?
January 22, 2019 at 4:31 pm
Here's a challenger that the Republicans might go nuts for:
Joni Ernst

Just imagine how humiliating it would be for Democrats if the first female president were to be a Republican. This would be a really smart play for the Republicans.

We could do worse.
In fact - we are.

Because the Democratic Party feels that they have worked the hardest to promote female politicians, and the First Female President trophy was supposed to go to them. The Republican Party is routinely disparaged as being white, male, and misogynist.
Personally, I am hoping that a strong challenger comes out against Trump for the Republican nomination. I think that Ernst would be a very strong challenger. Would she be strong enough to knock off Trump? It's never happened before, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. I think that a strong challenge from her would weaken Trump, and it would set her up to be the Republican nominee in a 2024 or 28.

As bad as we are doing, I am sort of more afraid than usual of a strong and popular Republican emerging as president in the wake of Trump's mess.

Um no, she would simply be another Nader all gender aside.

Uh yeah, we aren't talking about a third party challenger. We're talking about a primary challenger.

Doesn't matter. Even if another male challenges Trump on the GOP ticket it will end up being their version of Bernie taking away votes from Hillary. Don't get me wrong. I want someone in the Gop who is not a racist fuckface to take enough votes away from him to sink him.

So it would weaken Trump like I said in post #4?

The orange turd is in a very bad spot right now. Even without a in party or third party challenger, he is on the hook for the shutdown alone. He is facing House investigations too. It wont scare his base, but that should be enough to erode the swing voters he got the last time.

The conjecture surrounds the GOP running a female candidate? Pigs might fly, too. 
They've gone the other way, entirely. They didn't do this awhile a go..or complete the process..it's what they're still doing - defining themselves by an outlier demographic opposed to the democrats voting bloc. Defining themselves into opposition of the very idea, lol. Hoping that motivation will hold back sheer numbers long enough to cash in..and then out.
John Boehners a weed salesman..now, just something to consider.
The GOP rejected the ideology of inclusivity that it had cultivated in preparation for this demographic shift when it was completely annihilated in the primaries by rabid nativism.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
