They've GOT to be stopped: "2024 lookahead poll: GOP voters eye Trump dynasty"



Ready to skip 2020 and go straight to 2024? In a SurveyMonkey poll for Axios, Republican voters chose children of President Trump — Don Jr. and Ivanka — as two of the top four picks for president in four years.

Why it matters: An early poll like this is largely a measure of name ID. But it's also a vivid illustration of just how strong Trump's brand is with the GOP.
Ivanka and Don Jr. find themselves near the top of a long list of politicians who have held elected office, many of them vocal supporters of the president.
The big picture: Don Jr. has emerged as one of the most prominent defenders of his dad, frequently going after the left on Twitter, where he has 4.2 million followers, and serving as a popular warm-up act for presidential rallies.

His book — "Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us," released in November — reached No. 1 on the N.Y. Times nonfiction bestseller list.
In October, at a rally in San Antonio for president Trump's re-election, the crowd chanted "2024!" as Don Jr. spoke.
Ivanka Trump's work within the administration would be a selling point if she wanted to carry on the Trump legacy

It was all planned so well by them. First Ivanka, then him.
But yes, that's a deplorable list.

Their only supporters are old assholes who will be dead and stupid gun-totin' assholes who will also be dead from meth, alcohol and idiocy. There'll be like three surviving Pukes in 2024.

If I want prurient self-indulgence, I'll go to the smuttier corners of fanfic.com. It's less visual.

As Paul Begala has said I have not lived a good enough life for God to give me this. Most people do not like Trump. The youngest 40% of those eligible to vote hate him. By 2024 Trump will be poison in politics.

Right now, that memory is saturated with Trumpians.

In another year they won't remember who they were.

You remember, this clown and the Bush Dynasty . . .



But instead, he's the Texas Land Commissioner, in charge of all the cow pies and assorted other bullshit in the Lone Star State.

And the Bush family, in fact, has a history of public service. They're not just some sleazy pack of petit bourgeois hoteliers, grifters with a dynasty built on being predatory rentiers. Yet here we are, a dozen years later and hardly anyone even remembers the Bush boys.

If you learn anything today, this may serve you well: Remember, the face of fortune varies and knows not how to remain steadfast.

Assuming he loses in 2020 and then decides to run again in 2024. Wouldn't that be fun?
