‘If’ the ex-President, who IS losing right now, does lose on November 5th?
The Grand ole’ Party IS gonna be a shit show……
It IS ‘Trump’s Party’….
What does them people do if the Convicted Felon, Sexual Predator , Fraudster is a LOSER that wouldn’t have the ability to stop any Federal or State Criminal or Civil action against him?
This piece in the Hill is the first of many that WILL BE fronted as the Harris’s rolling numbers show her LEADING Trump in the less thna 70 days coming up on the 2024 Presidential Election…
Trump’s inability to deal with the change, rapid Democratic unification, dominant support from the media and the potential rekindling of Obama’s 2008 coalition — sprinkled with his political fairy dust of hope, joy, and “Yes, She Can” — generated considerable political momentum for Harris that might just carry her across the Nov. 5 finish line.
Based on national and battleground state polling trends, she could win in a squeaker — which means Trump could lose.
But Trump can never lose! So, if he does, expect a 2020 post-election replay with much ranting, raving and contrived evidence. Team Trump will launch accusations of a corrupt, stolen election, cheating, judicial weaponization, illegal voters, foreign interference and rigged voting machines, resulting in legal challenges perhaps all the way to the Supreme Court. Our enemies will be watching for signs of electoral instability, democratic unrest and perhaps even a national security crisis.
That aside, a Trump loss inevitably means an internal civil war within the Republican Party. I believe a “war” is inevitable between the all-powerful Trump forces and those who want to move on from the Trump era and win the White House in 2028 without any Trump family members on the ticket.
Like all civil wars, this one could be brutal, because the GOP opposition forces see in Trumpism a political dead-end with a shrinking voter base. I publicly left the Republican Party Jan. 2021 thanks to Trump’s toxic brand. Today, identifying as a Republican is not about conservative governing principles but automatic loyalty to Trump, with his MAGA troops in control of the party machinery from top to bottom.
In 2016, the “Trumplican Party” was born (some would say “hijacked.”) After Trump’s unexpected victory, Republican Party leaders and activists who initially supported someone other than Trump were purged, resigned in disgust or else acquiesced to him….
…
If Harris defeats Trump, will he step down as party leader? Probably not. Unlike Biden, Trump will not be pushed aside. Biden never was and did not represent himself as the Democratic Party. Trump and family, in contrast, are the Republican Party. Hence, moving beyond the Trump era without someone named Trump would take a tectonic shift.
Who would lead the GOP through the hazardous terrain of a non-MAGA future? It probably wouldn’t be Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), who in this scenario would just be a losing also-ran.
So who would it be? Some names are familiar and obvious: Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who each look in the mirror and see a future president. Add a new name with popular Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R), who has had a contentious history with Trump — haven’t they all, though? That experience will embolden these leaders to forge a new path for the party, maybe led by one of them, or else a new leader will emerge….
We heard this “ civil war” talk after Trumps 2020 loss and particularly after Jan.6.Didnt happen.
In my view, as long as Trump is still active ,there will be no “ civil war.”
Yea….
THAT WAS THEN…..
Trump LOSING will present an entirely different situation….
He’ll be a 78/79 year old ….
Convicted Felon….Probably on probation….
He’ll be up for a Federal criminal trial in DC and Sate criminal trial in Atlanta
He’ll be fighting about his Truth Social money that will be impounded by NY State, and EJ Carroll and the IRS…
He will be mad as hell, scared shitless mumbling fool….
And he will be attacking his OWN adopted party people for his LOSS….
NO….
The Grand ole’ Party HASS a rough road to look ahead to …..
Gonna be a LOT for people politically trying to justify their stupid , lack of balls as they jump off the Good Ship ‘Trump’….
Lot of us gonna enjoy EVERY minute of it as the media gives play -by-Play Headlines
Once again
You’ve been “ predicting “ Trumps imminent political demise for eight years now and you’ve been totally and completely wrong.
As I stated this” civil war” stuff is always being talked about .Nothing happens. Why? Because Trumps dominance of the Republican Party is complete and total( your laughable “ theories “ as to some kind of “ revolt” by the so called “ moderates “ notwithstanding)
The “ war”, if there be any , will be among Trumps acolytes as to positioning themselves to succeed him as to MAGA chief when he decides to leave the stage whether by health issues or death( he will never do so voluntarily).
First…….
Trump IS LOSING Right Now…….
Second…..
There ARE GOPer’s actually STANDING UP and saying they ARE REPUBLICANS and they are backing Harris
Third…..
Trump IS bending like a pretzel to dance with them he conquered b
Fourth…….
U may discount it
But Democrats WILL PLASTER HIS LEGAO WEIGHT ALL OVER THE PLACE
And he gets sentenced in 2 weeks
His political stock IS dropping
Now as to your mindless blabbering above?
He lost before and it had NO effect upon his grip on the MAGA party.
He’s already a convicted felon and despite your assurances that such would do him in? NO effect upon his hold on the Republican Party.
As to criminal trials?There is no assurance there will even be any. Federal? Smith may or may not be able to sell his newest indictment gambit to a federal court and even if he does, what will the Supreme Court say?Then there’s the Georgia case where Fannie Willis may very well be disqualified allowing another DA to take the case ,very possibly a Trump supporter.
Mad as Hell?Sure . So? He’s been that way all along.
Attacking other Republicans? What’s new?Thats been his thing ever since he started running back eight years ago.
Once again you are making the same type arguments you’ve been making all along.
You simply refuse to acknowledge the main point…
Republicans don’t give a damn!
Ur the lawyer
I STILL think he’s got Trials coming at him
There are still certainly principled Republicans who repudiate Trump.
But they are unfortunately a rather small minority of the Reagan-Bush GOP.
Since Jan. 6, 2020, (or November 2016) just about every goddamned Republican “leader” and every Republican seeking lower office, has shamefully and cravenly caved in to MAGA. Comparisons with Europe in the 1930’s are not inapropos. Just three examples would be Lindsey (once McCain’s strongest fan) Graham and Mitch (“riot unacceptable”) McConnell and Kevin (“how much dirt must I eat to keep my miserable job?” McCarthy.
There’s such a thing as revolutionary optimism (what kept the Continental Army fighting through Valley Forge?); and then there’s blind fingers-in-the-ears Pollyannism.
Yup DSD……..
Gonna be a LOT. Of GOP er’s with a identity crisis ft
Spurred by Trump there has been an increasing authoritarian rising and intolerance
I should have added that the reason is utter terror of their own base, of Donald Trump and of the fanatical Evangelical Right.
