What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

This. No free lunch for the GQP. They actively supported lunatics who, via the FUD they constantly spewed, caused deaths due to Covid that could readily have been prevented via a vaccine. It's a party with rapturite murderers at the helm. Why else the strong support by the likes of Pompeo for moving the US embassy to Jerusalem, a completely unnecessary thing? To accelerate the end times.

That segment of the GQP needs to go and hopefully keep the GQP out of positions of influence for a decade or so. TFG vs. DeAthsentence will hopefully be a WWE-class throwdown lasting for months. And, should the GQP nominate someone else, hopefully TFG start up his own Conservative/National Socialist/Whatever party and draw more votes away.

I dont think he has a choice. He knows the DOJ will be indicting him so he'll want to declare his presidential run before that happens so he can use the indictment as a "political witch hunt" tool. In any case the GOP is totally screwed. They'll never get rid of him and his poison.

Yeah. I have said this many times previously. The GOP had perfect outs immediately after Jan 6 domestic terrorism/insurrection action (Let's be honest here). But they didn't take it and I cannot understand why.

The GOP had the opportunity to denounce trump and his cronies in the party and his ... fans. They absolutely would have lost all his fanbase and it would have serious impact on the party in the midterms. But even in 2020 everyone knew the global markets were dropping. That we were heading for a period of stagnation globally. At best! I couldn't understand why they didn't look at the big picture. Not 2022 but at 2024 or maybe 2026/2028. They would have been wiped out in the 2022 midterms. We all know that the global economy is going to suck for the next couple of years at least. Let's just say 2 years. NOW the newly invigorated GOP of 2024 comes to the rescue. The global economy beginning to turn. Devoid of trump, his cronies and ... fans (Not slagged off or frowned upon. Simply never mentioned again). Here you had the opportunity to say "Look what the Dems did in 2020-2024. We're back, baby!". Basically come riding in on a big white horse. With their "new" image and new younger leader. Back to core GOP values. The crazies back in their box.

Yes, they would have lost 2022. But they would still have had enough to stir sh*t. It doesn't matter how much Biden got done or not between 2020-2024, if the GOP came back with a vibrant new candidate, just as the economy is turning then they could romp home as saviours.

TLDR: They should have taken the hit immediately after 2020 as the world economy was going to crap and been in a position to fingerpoint at the global economy between 2020 and 2024 and say "Look? Nothing to do with us". That thread on YLYL/political is basically just them doing that anyway... (Their mantra is "He specifically ruined the economy while eating ice-cream and..... the irony..... is inappropriate with children" .... REAL classy and not the least bit ironic)

Is the nomination process that open to manipulation? I do think they'll at least reverse their decision to not hold debates in the primaries now

If Trump doesn't run, or gets beaten in the primaries, his base will simply move onto DeSantis (or whomever) because the line will be that it must be anyone but Biden (or whatever Dem).

It is the exact reason Trump won in 2016, because they successfully make HC out to be so evil that almost anybody would be better.

One thing the 'right' tends to be better at in politics is being able to go with the best option, even if it is their preferred option.

They will b1tch and moan, then simply move on. Trump thinks, and has persuaded large parts of the GOP, that he alone controls the base, but in reality I think the base will follow anyone who says the same message. DeSantis will simply repeat all the same nonsense that Trump does and that will get the base on board.

In which Mr Donald "Hamberder covfefe" Trump accuses someone else of not being able to string two sentences together....

Whilst of course not missing an opportunity to spew more lies about election interference, a crime he apparently confessed to earlier.

What an utter piece of sh1t.

Fetterman has the excuse of having a stroke back in May. I wonder what Trump's excuse is.

Let's hope Lyndsey Graham was correct.

'If we nominate Donald Trump, we will get destroyed. And we will deserve it.'

His tweets used to be amusing but he seems to have completely gone off the deep end.

Its Narcissism on steroids.

Was it your good self that emphatically called Liz Cheney a RINO?

Given how you've gone off trump recently, wouldn't that make you a RINO?
