Dem Rep Jamie Raskin says Trump "may destroy" the GOP / GOP Sen Josh Hawley goes further:"The old party is dead. Time to bury it. Build something new"

You can’t expect independent voters to vote Republican unless you give them an agenda they care about

 

[Mac1958]

This is gonna be fascinating as hell. Some pretty interesting questions coming up:

• Does Trump announce this week?
• Have party leaders finally had enough of him, and are they ready to toss him under the bus?
• Who runs against him, knowing damn well he'll go full kindergarten bully on them?
• Does De Santis wait for one more cycle, or jump into the mud?
• And best of all, how low does Trump go? We already know there is no bottom to this.

Any Republican Party with Trump playing a major role is untenable

Too bad Republicans can’t do anything about it

 

[Rambunctious]

When the democrat base went hard left their representatives went with them they didn't stand against them... in other words they honored their commitment... Now that the republican base has gone America first the republican party stands against them at every turn....
In other words they failed at honoring their commitment...

We'll need to wait for the 2024 GOP primaries to see how this plays out.
Will Trump win the nomination, or will someone else take the marble from his hand?

Trump owns MAGA
If multiple Republicans run, MAGA will ensure Trump wins
If Republicans settle on one candidate and that Candidate gets the GOP nomination, Trump will declare that candidate cheated and he is the legitimate winner

Republicans had multiple chances to rid themselves of the curse of Trump
Let them choke on him

Regardless, Trump will refuse to admit he lost the GOP primary and will turn MAGA against the winner

 

[Mac1958]

Definitely. He claimed that Cruz rigged a primary:

Trump accuses Cruz of stealing Iowa caucuses through 'fraud'

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Wednesday accused rival Ted Cruz of stealing a victory in the Iowa caucuses and called for another vote or nullification of Cruz's win.

He wouldn't think twice about burning down the party to protect his brittle self esteem.

The party knows it, but the rubes don't.

You go and build something new Josh. Let us know how that works out for you.

Oh he announces. He's running. Even DOJ indictments can't stop him from running. And MAGA will support him..and destroy any challenger who dares stand against him.

This week just keeps getting better and better.

I do not want to be called a hater. He deserves karma though.

Trump claimed the Emmy Awards were rigged when The Apprentice didn't win.

Trump claimed the Iowa caucus was rigged in 2016 when Cruz won. Trump demanded a do-over.

We should have seen January 6 coming from a mile away.

Defeated Donald is the worst sore loser in history.

 

[g5000]

Josh Hawley is one of Trump's most subservient cucks. I would like to know what he means by that tweet.

Will it involve running away like a little girl, Hawley?

Now that he's wounded, we find out how low he'll go to protect his brittle ego.

And what will it do to the overall system if Trump takes half the duopoly offline for a decade?

I have no idea. This has not happened for 150 years. The worst of Trump's damage to the political system may be in the future.

Oh, all you have to do is watch.
