Lets talk about Wisconsin! I've heard that Wisconsin votes with the winner of the presidential election, so a lot of people are looking at this as some type of bellwether, I think it's too early to call it that. However, when it comes to the SC of Wisc, Dems seem to win. In fact, the last two elections Dems won by +11 points both times. I'm curious to see if Dems pull out a win and if so, if its above or under the average.

Musk has now announced he's stepping down from DOGE (I've seen it a few places, but hasn't hit the MSM for some reason), I won't believe it until it actually happens, but I wonder if this is a ploy to try and salvage Wisconsin. I'm also curious that if the GOP loses this race or loses by a lot, if Trump will finally, publicly sour on Musk. Trump hates a loser and will never take the blame for it and we know that blame has to go some where.

Anyways, if we can't win this, I don't have any hope for this country.

Outside of a constitutional amendment (which is a near certainty to never happen), there is no path for a 3rd term. The 22nd and 12th are explicit in that.
22nd amendment...Text. Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.
12th amendment- But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
Since Trump would be constitutionally ineligible to be President, he can't be VP either.
