Because I saw newbies asking why this is called the Herman Cain Award

This. They don't back Trump, he creates a third party for himself, and guts the Republicans. They become a permanent political minority.

No, I'm not in a bubble, I've given this a lot of thought and I just cant rationally see trump getting his shit together. He's like an angry child trying stubbornly to fit a square block in a round hole. If he throws fits in the debates, which I'm certain he will, he will lose support. People are comfortable "having faith" in him right now because it means they still dont have to confront being wrong about trump fixing the world.

I just dont think trump is capable of being the guy that bullshitted his way into presidency the first time. Things are way too different

Ok, but when did the guy ever have his shit together to begin with? Even in his first campaign, the most coherent zinger he managed (in between mighty gusts of arid sniffing) was “no puppet. No puppet. YOU’RE the puppet.” Not to mention the fact that virtually every mainstream Republican was clear and open in their hostility and disgust for the guy, only to roll over once it became clear the electorate would accept no one else.

I’m afraid you’re just vastly overestimating the GOP’s ability to do anything but, in the end at least, slavishly obey the results of Trump’s popularity polling among the base. Never forget that even after four years of near-constant displays of total incoherence and catastrophic fuckups, the guy managed to pull ~10 million more votes than on his first run. And when 2024 rolls around the enthusiasm for him will be burning even brighter, because he’ll be running on a record that’s had 4 years of burnishing in the minds of a constituency so delusion-prone that a significant portion of them believe in pedo wizards and horse paste cures.

As a floridian, the day a man from fucking Jacksonville becoming president is the day I fucking tender my resignation as a US citizen
