Can the GOP comeback in 28?

The Trump era is over, and the party is in shambles and leaderless. Who will step up and take charge? Vance distancing himself from the policies that brought on this situation is the correct move and perhaps the first step in his bid to be president. I am no Republican but he is capable.

It's still going to be called the R party but it will be R/America First vs the DSA going forward.

Vance has zero shot as President. Dude needs to focus on his young kids, maybe run for the Senate seat up in Ohio in '28 and take that back from the Democrats.

It can come back and win with the 24 platform if we actually get serious about campaigning and messaging.
If we decide we can just ignore the votes we need and call them stupid if they don’t vote because well we aren’t as bad as Dems, then no.
The left will step on its own dick for us, we just have to take the opening

2 years ago, this board and lots of pundits were claiming the Democrat Party was dead.
4 years before that, the pundits were saying the same thing about the Republican Party.
It’s cyclical. It’s bad, for the moment, but the sky isn’t falling…. Yet.
However, if Democrats somehow gain control of Texas enough to rig elections like they did in California, Nee York, Minnesota, and other places, then yes, the GOP and the nation is lost.

I'm not a big Rubio guy but he is a very capable politician with decent conservative principles. He could get some real traction from his performance on the global stage as Sec of State. He's done a commendable job.

Of course they can. Politicians, regardless of party don't care about the country. They don't care about you or your problems.
They only care about your vote.
Just like with Trump and the Republicans, the Democrats won't listen to the people. They will chase power and money and will overreach and focus on things that don't help the average American.
In 2 years, the Republicans will blame the Dems for all the problems and claim they will fix it.
Rinse and repeat.

Yes. Democrats will undoubtedly overplay their hand. America First is on the rise. The playbook remains the same:
• No New Wars
• Affordability
• Immigration
The retarded wing of MAGA was neutered Tuesday night. The other 95% will migrate to whoever takes up the America First banner. Whether that is Rubio, Vance, DeSantis or some unknown. A lot can happen in two years.

It can definitely come back. Between Dems doing nothing but pushing revenge show trials, DEI, and communism the next two years the Republicans will have ample opportunity to present themselves as the "normal" party.
Parties have come back from arse whippings like this before so you never say never.

He’d probably lose, especially after 2 more bad years in this administration. He really wasn’t all that great of a candidate in 2022, either. Every single state-wide Republican won by at least 17% in Ohio and Congressional R’s won the PV by 13%. In a Biden mid-term, and facing an opponent who voted with Biden 100% percent of the time, Vance only won by 6%. DeWine and the other state-wide R’s had to drag his arse over the finish line.

It'll largely depend on how Trump acts and what he does these next couple of years. It's clear most of the country is sick of him. This term really showed how truly out of touch he is with a lot of this country. It's really only the cult that backs him now and he'll probably be toxic for any candidate.
If he doesn't mess it up for Republicans and the Rs actually choose someone worth a damn to lead the ticket, sure they can come back. I just wonder if Trump is capable of doing what's best for the party instead of what's best for him. Up to this point, he seems incapable of doing something like that.
Vance is going to be a loser on the national stage if he's the leader of the ticket. He'll have the Trump stench on him and he's also an extremely awkward person that'll get exposed on the national stage.

No. GOP comeback will start midterms of 2030.
Posted on 11/5/26 at 12:06 pm to BuckI
Yes...but the old guard in the GOP needs to step aside. We have to give young blood the reigns and we cant then backtrack and start attacking them when they actually take action and are a bit radical.
We have to bring the "far right" into the party. This is the Nick Fuentes, Joel Webbon, Lotus Eaters(for the Brits) far right Christian Nationalist wing of the party and we have to quit attacking them for saying mean truths.

FWIW, apparently he has told some people that he’s not going to run.

Of course. It seems like practically every election for the past 20 years has been accompanied by people catastrophizing about the imminent death of one party or the other. And that's a good thing. Not the catastrophizing, but the fact that neither party is immune to electoral defeat. Regardless of which side of the aisle you're on, a single-party state is bad for everyone, including the people who support the party in power.

Agreed, but if 2028 looks like 2008 and winning is nearly impossible, you can’t waste a good candidate. There is talk that Rubio is not going to run, Cruz isn’t going to run now that TX has a Dem Governor, and DeSantis likely won’t run based on his comments yesterday. In that case, you trot someone out to be the sacrificial lamb. But unlike 2008, I would recommend pouring all the money into down-ballot races. Have JD going around with a cup begging for money and fund the shite out of Senate and House races. Have every Senate and House candidate campaign as someone who will put a check on whoever the Dem nominee is to win over Independents.
