Yeah, people look at two data points and draw a pattern.

It's not dynasties that suck, it's the Bushes and the Clintons that suck.

That’s what another user made me realize. With Jr, I’d mostly support him out of trust. Trust here matters more than anything. I won’t vote for someone I think can be bought off.

Ron Paul...

I voted for Ron Paul several times. He thought having the best, most sensible policies was enough. It's not. You have to have the best ideas AND be a mean mofo that doesn't take shit from anyone. Cue Trump.

Ron Paul was too nice and isn't capable of the savagery necessary to actually win.

How can we know since he never had power? Tearing the system down would be a good start.

Candice Owen / Ron Paul ticket would be amazing

While I agree in principle, Ron is too old to be president. Maybe Rand, but he doesn't have the fire in the belly to energize the electorate.

I'd question Owens as a VP—I see no reason at all she should be the primary. (Except, I guess, to have the fun of watching the liberals unironically call her a racist/sexist, because that's their only framework for the world).

Candice could get the votes but hopefully she doesn't have dirty laundry.

Just watch Succession to see how different siblings can be. I don’t know anything about Ivanka tbh. Couldn’t blindly vote unless I was sure she would uphold the legacy.

Seems like Trump’s been grooming and positioning him for it this entire time too. He seems to work more closely with his father on things, he represents him more on TV and the internet, he even made at least one appearance on Crowder. He’d still have access to Trump obviously and all his resources and connections. Seems like a genuine guy too. So far to me, he seems like the one that Trump himself wants to be the next president more than anything else.

Would admittedly be funny to see the media blasting the Trump name for 16 years straight. He could be going into his second term after Trump and they’d still say he had a 1% chance of winning.

What does him being Jewish have to do with anything?

We have seen behaviors out of Jr already.

As long as he can prove that he works hard and puts America first there isn’t much else I care about. Try to say that about any other recently politician before Trump.
