The Barbershop: Dennis Byrne, Proprietor
Please, Mr. President Donald Trump, your majesty, don’t run again in 2014

You’ll lose that one too.
Just like you lost this one. I know you don’t think so–how can we forget, you’ve brayed on and on about it–but you need to look only to yourself for losing the 2020 election.
Consider: Republicans in state down-ballot elections not only didn’t lose, like you–you loser–but they gained House seats that they were expected to lose. The only thing that can explain that Republicans did better nation-wide than you, is, well, you.
It’s not like you are the only one who can represent the constituency that has support you. Many of those who voted for you, really voted for the populist, low tax and small government agenda. Not for you.
In four years of campaigning for 2024, you only would alienate more voters with your untamed mouth and tweets. Can it possibly be otherwise with your bloated ego.?
Bowing out would display your commitment to the agenda. Plenty of other conservative/Republican leaders are available and more likely to win. If you demand that you are the only one who can carry forward that agenda is a betrayal of those very principles.
