Bill Maher’s 2024 presidential race predictions

CNN’s Jake Tapper speaks with Bill Maher about the comedian’s predictions for the 2024 presidential field. Maher’s show, “Real Time with Bill Maher” airs on HBO, which, like CNN, is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery.

Most people wake up in the morning not being ultra-liberal or ultra-conservative. They just want a good job, a safe town, a good school for their kids, and a bit of hope for the future. Politicians seem to miss all that.

[@W81Researcher]

But some of us want distinguishment and respect as well. You won't get respect if you disrespect yourself. It's sad that some states and a bunch of overachieving kids with two parents are making it seem like struggling in school is bad. School is supposed to be hard.

Spoken like someone who already has those things. It's not just about you, your town, and your kids. It's about making this country a better place for everyone, including the environment. Making it about "me and mine" is exactly why this country, and world, is so messed up in the first place. We don't need anymore squishy, self absorbed, low stakes moderates.

You are talking pre-2000 era politics. That ship sailed long ago. Bush and his stolen election (thanks to his brother as governor in Florida and its dirty politics and the right wing Supreme Court picking the president) had destroyed the art of political gamesmanship of "gentlemanly negotiation." Then Trump came along and obliterated what was left entirely. When authoritarianism and fascism enter the game, you cannot play by normal rules. Recall that pre-WW2, many countries tried to "negotiate" with Hitler too. How did that go for them? Easy question if you know anything about history.

A lot of them want DeSantis to further prove himself and finish his governor term before ultimately running the country. All my Florida family thinks he'll be an automatic 2028 winner. But, my family does want Trump to finally get his payback first. Desantis' term will end Jan 5 of 2027, so if he announces his run on that date he'll have about 22 months to campaign, perfect timing really. The way I see it he's kind of become the GOP's insurance policy, and he should just stay out of Trump's way so that he won't get shot down by Trump in this election cycle or shot down with Trump if Trump's administration gets torpedoed by the swamp again. I think Trump and DeSantis really need to do this for each other just to absolutely ensure that they have ample time to clean the swamp after Biden is up.

Basically if you stick a rainbow on Big Pharma and DEI on Big Business, suddenly the Left is all for these giant conglomerates, the left is all for NAFTA/TPP now, it's shocking how complete the corporate takeover of the Democrats has been. A Governor punishing Disney for LGBTQ would be a 1990's-2000's Democrat position, Bill Clinton signed the ban on gay marriage (DOMA) and Joe Biden himself was against LGBTQ up until 2010. The Democrat party was against big corporations and against LGBTQ up until 2012, I think the Libertarian/Ron Paul corporatist wing of the GOP (socially liberal/business "conservatives" for low taxes) must have joined the Democrats alongside the Neocons who switched to Democrats (Bush/Cheney types) in 2016.

"If ever", is pretty close to correct. The founders didn't care about the "little guy", they wanted an oligarchy. The mid-1800's and early 1900's had a few, but most were governorships or Mayor's, a few state representatives. Still they never held a majority and most were scattered across party lines (not just the Republicans and the Democrats, but also the Socialist, People's Party, Progressive Party, etc.). Not all of them were driven by the same ideology, but common interests. WW2 and McCarthyism/Red Scare pretty much ended most of that representation, and new factions coalesced. By the '70's and '80's most of the gains made during the New Deal/Trust Busting era was being overturned.

Totally agree on Trump winning the Republican nomination. He is going to win 30-40% in every state while everyone else running splits the vote. They will have to decide amongst themselves who is going to be the only one running against him in order for it not to be him which won't happen, or it will happen entirely too late as everyone wants to try to win their own state as if that proves something.

[@redmanlaw0002]

Trump is still the best choice for President. Biden is clearly the worst and Kamala is a joke that's never going to happen. DeSantis doesn't need to rush and can simply take over after Trump and have a much easier time. Get over it people. Trump was hated because of mass media bias and a lot of Hillary worshipping feminists and Woke morons pushing lies and propaganda about him that all proved to be false. Trump ran America great during his 4 years despite more opposition than any other President has had to deal with in generations. He'd be light years better than Biden at the very least when you look at how terrible Biden and the Democrats have done while in power. The President is not your friend, he's not your daddy, he's a man with a job to pass the right laws and protect our nation. Enjoy Trump's policies that help all Americans live better and put our nation first and don't watch him on TV or look at his online posts if you hate him so much. Basically just get a life and reap the rewards of having an America first President with good policies for once. MAGA!

[@jomangeee9180]

your problem is your buying the kool aid of the MSM and bill maher, Trump is very popular among republicans, his followers are not just fringe groups, he is also popular among moderate democrats, the ones who don't like drag shows for kids. Democrats love war, war in syria, ukraine, libya, china, eventually iran. They r in war against regular people who don't conform to their ideals, climate change, GPTQ+, illegal immigration---, wokes are vindictive, cancel regular folks to the point of targeting their employment and livelihood, religion, as if people don't have a right to their believes, or to being stupid!! Maga people don't threaten others, it's the woke left that is killing american democracy and driving this country into chaos.. maybe that's why they are pushing trump and the demented biden, they want a showdown!

[@jlpowell51]

I think most of those other people will drop out long before the actual primary vote. It's not like any of them have even a remote chance. Republicans who want to win will back DeSantis. Voting for Trump in the primary is voting for four more years of Biden/Harris because there's no way Trump gets enough of the independent vote to win.
