Welcome to the 2028 presidential election.
"Gentlemen (and ladies), start your engines!"
Who will be the first media jamoke who will proclaim immediately after this presidential election who will be the leading candidates in the 2028 election?
Sound crazy? Just wait. Someone will want to be the first to declare that the election of Trump or Harris will position so-and-so to make a run. Rack it up to the media compulsion to be the first, at anything. Scope! Exclusive! Never let caution or prudence get in the way.
Never mind that the 2024 presidential election started a couple of years ago. It’s been like a nail driven into our heads—pollsters, commentators, reporters, political scientists, historians, law professors, all wielding the hammer. Lord, stop it!
Please, please, please. 2028 is four years away, so we beg you, don’t start now!
If we knew who would be the first, he could beat him to it by duct taping his mouth shut.
Wait. Wait! I’m too late. I just ran across this headline: “Trump 2028: If Ex-President Loses, Most Republicans Back Another Shot—Poll.”
And this: “2028 U.S. Presidential Voter Guide”
And, and, and this: “Who will win the 2028 United States presidential election?”
AArrrrrgh!!
