GOP voters favor third Trump term - The american people yearn for an 88 year old orange man

https://www.semafor.com/article/08/27/2025/gop-voters-favor-third-trump-term

A majority of Republican voters would support President Donald Trump seeking a constitutionally-prohibited third term, according to new polling from Data for Progress.

The survey of 1,247 likely voters, conducted last week and provided first to Semafor, found 53% of Republicans in favor of Trump running again in 2028. At the same time, Republicans were less likely than Democrats or independents to think that Trump would try to run again — a bid that would violate the 22nd Amendment and its two-term limit.

Fifty-nine percent of Democrats assumed that Trump would “attempt to run for president again,” an idea he has indulged with varying degrees of seriousness since winning reelection last year. The president’s merchandise store sells $50 “Trump 2028″ hats, which he’s also shown off to White House visitors.

“I’m not joking,” Trump told NBC’s “Meet the Press” this spring, when asked about the third term talk. Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., introduced a constitutional amendment in January that would allow Trump to run again, but would exclude the other living two-term presidents, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.

Opposition to the idea from Democrats and independents overwhelmed Republican support. Ninety-one percent of Democrats and 77% of independents said that Trump should not try to run again. Eighty-six percent and 77%, respectively, said that presidents should “only be able to serve two terms,” while just 52% of Republicans agreed.

Obviously the voters would say that, the republicans don't really have much of a future after trump

Debatable, considering the older neocons are slowly, but sure, being replaced with younger conservatives more in line with the MAGA agenda. The party has a better future ahead of them than the democrats at this point, which is made up of an old guard desperately clinging to power.

 

[OrionBalls]

Who else would they vote for? That weasel Vance? The party has no one.

 

[Cuckoman]

Trump at 88 would be fine.

He can just spend all day at Maro-Lago and have a "lid on" day/week/month like they say
then someone in his admin can make all the decisions and just sign with the autopen.

It will be fine.

Trump will be too diminished for another proper term, and I thought that before the recent death propaganda. Age is real, and it hit him late but it's hitting him.

I don't think a constitutional amendment is possible as it requires too large a plurality between swamp creatures in both parties. I don't think he'll tell the military to make it so, either. You need to be middle-aged to kick off the Ceasar thing, not final years of life.

In principle I'd have no problem with it. Trump already won three terms on his national vision so obviously the support is there. Libs got FOUR, not THREE, but FOUR terms of FDR and did immeasurable damage to the country; good presidents having more terms is good, bad ones having more terms is bad.

Remember when the American people yearned for a 82 years old man who actually had Dementia?

Pepperidge Farm remembers and the democrats will said "it's ok when we do it" as usual.

 

[Overly Serious]

I mean, he's won three presidential elections, so he should have three terms, right?

 

[Fruttasecca]

Trump may die this term or become so sick his status as president is only a formality, which is the really scary thing because then who is going to control federal politics?

 

[KrumBum]

"OMG why would you want him to win AGAIN?!?!"

"Because it's funny."

 

[The Evil Midnight Bomber]

instead of 1488 it's gonna be 4888

 

[FieldPiece]

If you've been President twice can you run for VP?

Look at that, poll from a prog think-tank who the MEDIA will parrot to paint Republicans as against the Constitution.

Semafor -

Especially because you only polled 1,200.

You probably stopped there because the last 200 were starting to answer in a way that was throwing off your narrative.

They polled 1,200 Adam Kinzingers, Sarah Longwells, Tim Millers, Rick Wilsons, etc. Unserious poll.

Any poll with a sample of only 1200 in a country of 340m people is unserious, that’s a whopping 0.00035%

Muh constitution

If any amendment is up for debate then any amendment is up for debate, huh?

 

[The best and greatest]

Obviously the voters would say that, the republicans don't really have much of a future after trump

The republicans have options in addition to a clear heir-apparent

 

[The Last Stand]

Since when has Trump cared about laws, rules or the constitution?

Because you touch yourself at night.

Trump at 88 would be fine.

I've met a woman two years younger than looks healthier than Trump now.

 

[The handsome tard]

I think it goes to show the sorry state of politics, from both sides, when people want more of Trump because he is the closest thing to stability since the Obama years, likely even before it.

The problem isnt Trump, the problem is the quality of the options here.

Remember when Obama voters said the same thing? I don't recall it being framed as "prohibited" but rather "Oh, isn't that inspiring?" if not "Well, let's change the Constitution so he can!"

But when it flip flops?

It's all insurrection-talk.

This is so very tiring.

Especially because you only polled 1,200.

You probably stopped there because the last 200 were starting to answer in a way that was throwing off your narrative.

Again, democrats seem to almost have embraced that they are comically hypocritical, they just dont give a shit anymore because pointing it out either gives you a dismissive response that boils down to "its ok when we do it" or at worst they shame you and ask daddy government to shut you down.

Im done pretending I dont hate them.

 

[Strix454]

Trump looks better than Obama does these days and Obama is only 64. The guy looks like a literal skeleton.

That could happen to any President..... the sick and incapacitated thing. At that point? The VP steps up. Nothing to be scared of unless you're scared of the VP>

Also, we have 2 other branches in Federal government, that operate independent of the Executive, who will be immediately replaced anyway by the VP. Again, nothing to be scared of.

If anyone's gonna drag his party down and lose control of Federal politics by being incapacitated by health issues and reduced to a mere formality? We just saw that with Biden. And only then only because his staffers pushed him even HARDER to stay in office and not turn it over to the VP..... because they wanted to keep using the auto pen that had his name programed into it.

And for all of that? Nothing "scary" happened.

Stability under American politics is an illusion.
