What's the GOP's Plan For 2024? -

[Wingnut]

Barring some miracle turn of events Kamala is now our president, so how do you think the GOP will respond in the next election?
Given Trump's overwhelming popularity it would be hard to just put up another Mitt Romney and expect to win back your voter base, but you should never underestimate the GOP's stupidity.

Plan?

 

[Just Some Other Guy]

Go back to rolling over and playing dead?

I suspect that Trump will run again, and will likely rally the boomerwaffen and america first types behind him. Considering the attention span and voting habits of zoomers and the impact four more covid years will have on the dwindling geriatric population, I think it is questionable as to whether or not he'll win. I think it is more likely that a more presentable person with the reputation of being a "Trump ally" like McCarthy will be a frontrunner, and might even convince Trump to stay on the sidelines.

More importantly, I think Trump is going to bankroll alternative media like OAN, gatewaypundit, breitbart, etc, and make an attempt at gaining them the air of legitimacy that the mainstream media has. I don't think it will work, but it is a logical next step for a billionaire who has made an enemy of the media.

if Trump is a two term president but two separate terms like Grover Cleveland that would be even more hilarious

Plan? Most of them have proven they'd rather be "graceful" losers than have any advantage over the DNC.

Those in the Senate, House, and SCOTUS deserve none of the gains they've made since 2016, and I hope they lose everything for letting Biden get away with blatant voter fraud. Trump was too good for them, and if he ever runs again he should run as a third party (who knows, maybe he'll find more success there).

Oh, and I have more respect for dogshit than I do Biden, so forgive me if I refuse to acknowledge him as POTUS.

Donkey, Elephant, it's all the same crap. Americans have accepted that nothing will change and they're ok with it.

The only one with a plan is Trump and his few real allies out there like Desantis and Noem. The establishment will definitely try with Nikki Haley and Dan Crenshaw and Tim Scott, but right now it's all Trump as kingmaker. He runs again or his picked person is the candidate. If you even see those mega faggots from the Lincoln Project in someone's camp, they're DOA. And the nice thing is 2024 means Romney is up for reelection and I bet Trump can get someone to primary him even in mormon land.

Trump is actually able to make no matter what happens work his way. Economy falls apart or stagnates with Harris? Look what they couldn't do with what I did, and I even gave them a vaccine. Harris gets a little recovery bounce? Look what my yuge economy did for him. China just walking all over everyone now? Look how weak they made America, sad! And this time Trump will know everything he and his allies do will be watched by corrupt FBI and DOJ.

The biggest issue will be getting enough non cucked GOP in at state level to clean up voting for the next runs. I think that's going to happen no matter what but it needs to be done to make up for the next magical pandemic that will probably start in America this time for better "how dare we do this to the world" optics.

Their plan is to hope that conservatives are stupid enough to keep on voting for them because they have no other option.

They've been spineless cowards since Reagan, them letting the democrats steal the election is just completing their transformation. The last time there was an elected official who actually represented the interests of the people was probably before any of us were born. We need to face the fact that republicans destroyed themselves.

 

[Krokodil Overdose]

Find some way to commit even more ritual sudoku and do that. The way they're taking a dive on the GA runoffs tells me that they're done even pretending to be a real political party.

 

[Just A Butt]

imagine thinking anything has changed.

it will be an old white man who likes to fuck, same as the one we have now and the one coming around in January.

 

[murdered meat bag]

theyll blame the trump base for gope losses.

 

[CreamyHerman’s]

The plan for 2024 is a new and improved milquetoast neoconservative politician who will lose and will be the comfy controlled opposition

 

[Absolutego]

It'll be a battle between the ones who embrace their growing identity as a working-class party (pushing essentially Trumpism minus Trump, think Josh Hawley) and the old guard neocons pushing Principled Republicanism (TM).
I expect the determining factor for neocons will be if Marco Rubio can develop some charisma to successfully carry the torch to the next generation, since the Boomer Reagan Administration castoffs that formed the core of the neoconservative movement are getting too old for this shit.

 

[Cardenio]

if Trump is a two term president but two separate terms like Grover Cleveland that would be even more hilarious

It would mean Biden/Harris would be a straight up catastrophic failure of an Administration.

I do not want to see that.

The GOP doesn't have a plan. The factions within the GOP may have one. If this election has taught us anything, it's that unlike the majority of the Democratic Party, the GOP is not on the same page. There's a reason that a populist will never succeed in the Democratic Party and it's just how much the DNC has control over their own primaries. The one time they failed was in 2018 with the Justice Dems, but since then the Democrats have absolutely clamped down on any more populist socialists that have been trying to rise up with the support of Sanders or AOC.

The neocons are probably not going to return. The reason for it is that they've simply realized just how better it is to cozy up with the Democrats than it is to do so with the Republicans. Biden is probably going to start a few more conflicts in his term and they're not going to have to deal with anti-war rallies like they had to during the Bush era. Lincoln Project isn't trying to wrestle back in with the GOP, they're trying to grift the Democrats for more money and positions. They know how hated they are by the majority of the Republican base right now. Some, like Crenshaw, might find success, but I don't think he'll do so well in presidential primaries now that the voters are going to be coming out for traitor's blood.

The RINOs unfortunately will remain in control of the party, but the RNC isn't as powerful as the DNC. RIght now, the RINOs are going to go into the defensive. Without the Trump movement, the party is screwed. The Georgia GOP is going to get absolutely demolished in the runoffs. Perdue and Loeflerr should just concede now and save us all the trouble. Arizona seems to be going in a similar direction, but there's more hope for them thanks to having people like Kelli Ward and Paul Gosar that are currently sharpening their knives and waiting for the opportune moment to strike against Ducey's cuckolded ass. RINOs are proud, professional losers, plain and simple, and their base doesn't like losers.

Several populists will try to take control of the party in 2024, and my prediction is that they will win the nomination, more than likely Cruz or another MAGA figure like DeSantis. Unfortunately, they will lose against Biden or Kamala. @Secret Asshole has repeatedly been correct in saying that the reason Trump lost is because he didn't have a machine in the ground like the Democrats had. He didn't have people to confront the 4AM magical ballots, no boots to help when the poll watchers were turned away, no authorities to give him evidence of election fraud. He didn't do anything even when he knew that the media would be against him, Silicon Valley was against him, social media was against him, the fucking US postal service was against him, and the payment processors were against him. He did nothing despite the 2018 AZ Senate being fishy as hell and essentially the groundwork for how to do election fraud and it came to bite him in the ass. This is going to be a painful lesson that the GOP will have to learn. They can't win until they create a machine of their own.

The primary will be a chaotic 12-way slapfight where anything can happen. You may as well roll a dice as try to predict it.

 

[mandatorylurk]

The one thing the GOP has in their favor are redistricting for the census since they control more states, especially if they don't count illegals (or will the supreme court cuck on that too and now be "originalist").

I hate the way the maps redistrict and it should be a lot cleaner in cities but fight fire with fire, in Texas and Florida alone you can probably whip up about 8 more GOP friendly seats, and the more northern california areas can claw some blue away.

 

[NeoGAF Lurker]

The GOP was ackchually on the brink of total annihilation if it wasn’t for Dave Brat winning a surprise primary victory against Eric Cantor. Brat’s victory scared the GOP into temporarily aligning themselves as a more populist party. Remember the Gang of 8 and how excited Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham were in introducing an amnesty bill? Good times.

That’s all gone now. Losing support of the Reagan Democrats and rust belt independents but gaining just a little in minorities and women is going to have the GOP chase after them harder than a cat chases a laser. Like the laser, this promised land is never going to be there so they will suffer a series of humiliating defeats but that means they haven’t chased the laser hard enough.

It will come to a head when they run Haley and Rubio as a ticket, leading to an utter annihilation not seen since 1988. From there, we’ll see if the Grand Old Party even exists.

 

[round robin]

They'll run Cruz and he'll lose, next question.
