No one really knew Trump very well outside of NY, NJ & CT. That's how he was able to claim himself as an unknown candidate & run off of it.

I don't really agree with this. Trump was a pretty big celebrity for a while and The Apprentice was huge at its peak.
It wasn't unopposed, it was worse than that, her opponent was basically bullied out of the race.
I remember even in the early 90's Trump's name would commonly come up on lists of people/celebrities who were thought to entertaining the idea of running for president. Everyone laughed it off then too, lol. Trump has always been such a joke.
Reality shows never determines a person's full character. The majority of America & the rest of the world had to find that out from 2015 to early 2021. Trump was more like a D-List celebrity if anything, & The Apprentice was his only big claim to fame.
Celebrities holding office of any sort never works out very well. See Ronald Reagan & Arnold Schwarzenegger.
I do not believe she is popular enough to run as a VP. I have to believe the majority of people will look at her statements and scoff.
This is just objectively untrue. Like, this is one of the most wrong things ever posted to Era. Trump has been a household name since the 1980s.

Trump was well known before the Apprentice, it is why he has a cameo in Home Alone. He had the name recognition. People also knew he was horrible, as he always mouthed off when he went on Howard Stern.
I hope you're right. However, I can't help but remember how so many experts said that about Trump. Political experts also said the same about Ronald Regan at the time.
I'll never underestimate how low the GOP will go.
Getting a bit of deja vu here since I swear I heard the same argument when Trump annouced his candidacy as well.
Trump was so widely recognized and mocked they made him the villain in Back to the Future 2 and the Super Mario Bros. movie.
Remember all this shit Trump had done and said before the 2016 election? Remember how it didn't matter at all? Yea all this "dirt" on her is gonna do nothing.
Agreed and he was also at the forefront of the Birther Movement bullshit levied against Obama.
She would literally start a shooting war with China day 1. I'm not exaggerating, that's absolutely what she would do.
Not as fair a comparison. We live in a world where Trump lost, handily, and people are wiser to these Qultists than before.
Palin ultimately hurt McCain. She was appealing to the very same people that like Trump and Greene, but also scared the shit out of an even larger portion of the country when people saw just how crazy she was and how little knowledge she had. Greene being put on the big stage would have all of her conspiracies laid bare to the majority of the country. From her Sandy Hook was a hoax belief to her believing that Democrats drinking the blood of babies.
Yeah, one big plus for Trump in 2016 was that he was a relative unknown. As soon as he spent a term in power, he got ousted with such force that it broke the Republican groupthink and his party started turning on him a little. Even a little is absolutely bananas
Marj ain't gonna have that advantage. She's gonna have a few years of crazy behind her on the national stage.
Marjorie meeting with 45 doesn't make her the "new face of the GOP".
Trump is out and has absolutely no platform.
This. She's a crazy house member that's probably about to be permanently suspended from Twitter. Compared to the POTUS she's delightfully easy to forget about.

After what had happened with Trump & with the way of how the GOP party are currently showing themselves, people are going to remember.
That's exactly what I'm talking about earlier in regards to Trump.
I was listening to the Meidas Touch podcast, and they framed the GOP correctly. The few GOP members like Romney and Cheney who, will still horrible but have resisted being Trump cult member are now the Fringe of the GOP, since they are the small minority. The likes of Greene are now the mainstream GOP.
Exactly. I'm putting all my chips on the next GOP candidate to be more similar to Biden mannerism-wise than trump. A wink and a smile.
I think there's too much history available on both of em. It's gotta be somebody that can walk the line of deniable plausibility while still handing out all the dog-whistle shit Republicans love. Trump was too blatant but I'm betting they're closer now to the sweet spot than they've ever been.
Not while Trump can still run. Even then Jr. is eagerly waiting on the bench. My guess is he's looking for allies in a party split.
Not sure about Kasich but the republicans HATE Romney. Dude has no shot unless they somehow rebrand in the next two years and we all collectively develop amnesia.
I honestly wonder if figures like Magic the Gathering here are just dumb enough to actually believe all the bullshit, or just sociopathic enough to weaponize it. Either way she's a dangerous and ugly goblin.

This is irrelevant as it is a mythology based around him. He has signaled several times his approval for these people.
The thing about greene is she has no accomplishments to accel her forward. Trump was a billionaire and the face of a popular TV show and famous before that too. I mean even palin as VP was at least a governor, albeit of alaska but some executive experience. Being just a representative from a backwater district won't be enough imo.
"Let it happen" implies we have the ability to stop it. All we can do is hope she doesn't get more popular.
This would be a good time to go on the chans and start posting how she's a plant from the deep state trying to take the power from Trump. She'll be on their stupid list in no time.
The GOP has a lot of power at the state level and still has a strong presence federally despite being a minority. There is no 'claiming,' they have it
No one is disputing this. "actually believes" in Q was the distinction in the original post. A bunch of people in Washington right now exploit the Q bullshit. It would be an escalation to get an outright believer in the highest office.
