If hypothetically Trump managed to get the 22nd amendment repealed, who would be a better candidate to run against him, Obama or Bill Clinton?

Personally I would favor Obama. Clinton is the same age as Trump. Obama is 15 years younger.

    Dig up Ulysses S Grant’s corpse. Train an AI LLM on his life and politics. Tell the South to get ready.

    Have either of them shown any interest in running for president again? Or are we forcing them?

    All the things to worry about and this is what people are thinking about. Fuck.

    I love Bill Clinton but for the love of God, no. He is too old and has some health problems.

    If Trump runs again in 2028 he won’t repeal the 22nd amendment. He will either get the SC to say his first term was stolen by evil democrats or something so it technically doesn’t count. Or, more likely have Don Jr. technically run but say he will still be president.

    i would not accept any repealed 22nd amendment; that would be a red line for me.

    I think it depends on the conditions.

    Obama would do better, but frankly there is no guarantee he would win.

    Obama would crush him. Clinton isn’t as sharp as he used to be and he will have more dirt with his scandals.

    Not sure it addresses, OP’s question, but directly impacts the answer. I for one would be in favor of age limits for a president at the time of nomination.

    Neither of them would be eligible.

    They built in a clause that would make it so only Trump is eligible.
