Closing in on the last two weeks of the 2020 Presidential campaign…
Losing in the polls…..
Republicans ARE beginning jump ship on Donald Trump….
And Trump is keeping a list…..
Washington Post: “In competitive Senate races across the country, including states where Trump remains popular, Republican incumbents are facing a conundrum: how to prove their pro-Trump bona fides to a MAGA movement that sees many longtime Republicans as insufficiently pure while stopping the hemorrhaging among suburban moderates who wonder why they have enabled the president.”
“The result for Ernst and as many as a half-dozen of her GOP colleagues may be the worst of both worlds, in which they risk alienating energized Trump backers if they criticize the president but then, if they stick with him, lose some centrist voters who have soured on Trump and are open to voting for a Democrat.”
…
Daily Beast: “Two individuals who have spoken to Trump say the president has expressed suspicion that members of his own party believe he will be defeated by Joe Biden. That sense of paranoia has been fed by the president’s aides and confidants, who have flagged news coverage for him of Republican politicians either openly criticizing his conduct or else trying to distance themselves from a looming possible electoral bloodbath.”
“According to one of the sources with direct knowledge, the president is already contemplating retribution.”

I have expressed the view ,at various times ,that Trump May blame a defeat on the Republican Party itself.
He will claim they weren’t sufficiently supportive of him.
You might be seeing the opening bits of that.
Scott P says
Maybe CG’s dream will come true and Trump will quit the GOP in the closing days of the campaign.
jamesb says
Maybe he’ll follow thru a quit the country….
The guy DOES have a whole LOT of people after his money….
Putin would probably love to have the ex-US President come over hang at HIS dacha while he laughs at America for being so stupid and gullible….
jamesb says
That ain’t a stretch….
He ran against them to get the nomination 4 years ago….
My Name Is Jack says
Steve Bannon says that if Trump loses he will run again in 2024.
jamesb says
That was a joke Jack…..
NEVER happen….
Scott P says
I’ve been saying that for months. Now there’s talk of Trump Jr. running for Pat Toomeys open PA Senate seat. There is no indication he could win there though.
In short, the Trumps own the GOP and evicting them won’t be easy.
jamesb says
And he’s have to move there for a period of time….
Imagine THAT?
Scott P says
Remember how Trump Sr. talked about running for office several times before actually doing it. I bet his kids do the same thing to try and stay relevant. Talk about running, eventually don’t most of the time. They’ll keep being a thorn in the side of the GOP.
jamesb says
THAT they are….
But they ARE ALL in for some legal trouble after daddy leaves the White House…
Democratic Socialist Dave says
New NBC unreality series (running against ABC’s “Shark Tank”) — “Dynasty”
Or maybe the family will take the title rôles in Shark Tank (or Pirhana Pool, or whatever..)
bdog says
The Legal Problems need to stick, or unfortunately Don Jr. will be getting into Politics…Funny how Scott said the Republican Party is going to have a hard time evicting them…anyone who ever had a Tennant squatting will be able to relate to that statement…

jamesb says
This IS part of my view that Trump IS losing support around the edges of his base….
Even some Grand Ole’ Party lawmakers are making space between themselves and Trump…
Let’s see how many GOPer’s jump ship to save themselves?
