12 months from the election and what are the options for the GOP ?
Will they stick with Trump ?
Do they have time to get behind an alternative ?
What price their credibility if they continue to back Donny ?
I know the cultists on here dont have a problem with anything he does but surely educated Americans realise that something is rotten and will vote accordingly ?
In the UK a delegation of Grandees would meet with the problem and tell them that the game was over. Is that likely,or possible, in the US ?
The Republicans have a clear choice in the nomination battle. They can renominate President Trump and have a fighting chance by defending the Trump economy with the tremendous Trump war chest of political contributions.
Or on the alternative, they can tell Trump to get lost, and basically concede the election to the Democrats, accepting the New Green Deal, socialized medicine, much higher tax rates. Make no mistake about it, any of the pathetic losers that have put themselves up for the GOP nomination would be virtually crucified by the D's. And with little campaign money and no charisma, what could any of them say when attacked as Literally Hitler?
Further, once Wall Street traders realize that Trump won't be around in 2021, the markets will tank and the GOP nominee would be blamed for it. Bad news for Kasich or whomever. They could blame Trump, and undoubtedly would, but they would still get schlonged by Buttigieg or Beto or one of the other girly-men.
