If Trump loses, expect a Republican civil war

[SweetSue92]

Looks like the civil warriors above are ill prepared for a potential loss.

I'm still flabbergasted that an actual American man could put such a ridiculous cartoon as his avatar. For...wait for it....KAMALA HARRIS

Then maybe you should cease and desist. I applaud your self awareness.

trouble is your the one who said something you cant back up...why could you not back up what you said?..

Conservatives can read the tea leaves and are starting to consider what the Republican Party will look like after a Trump loss. Conservative writer and Bush campaign creative team director is predicting a Republican Civil War if Trump loses.

Questions:
1. Does Trump go quietly if he loses?
2. Who can pull the Republican Party back together after it has been defined as a party of personality?

If Trump loses, expect a Republican civil war

To have one family in complete control of a major national political party is an aberration in our country. Daughter-in-law Lara Trump, installed as co-chair of the Republican National Committee in March, naively spoke the truth in February when she said of its fundraising, “Every single penny will go to the number one and the only job of the RNC — that is electing Donald J. Trump as president of the United States…”

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. 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.

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.

I doubt you see “civil war”. If trump loses this time around, I think that’s the last we’ll hear about Trump. He will go off quietly into retirement.

Repubs haven’t rioted yet, other than J6, but you didn’t see them in the streets in full riot mode, I doubt you will see it if Trump loses.

Maybe some interns power struggles, but that will be the extent of it.

You know deep down, he will win. She isn’t strong enough for the Trump god.

I know she is climbing, and he is dropping.

They came back from the Nixon Debacle in short order

True – it should have devastated the GOP for years; the voters are capricious with short memories.

Indeed, it’s Democrats who have kept Republicans in power over the years – the consequence of Democrats being easily divided and just not bothering to vote.

 

[SeaMajor7]

Yet ANOTHER narrative.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

im not talking about anyone here ....you have die hard assholes just like the right has in your party....and they are capable of violence just like they are....

He’s correct – Democrats aren’t lying about stolen elections, cheating, or non-citizens voting; that sort of dishonesty is the sole purview of the right.

jones you never stick to what is being talked about....why is that?....now why dont you comment on what i said or dont ******* quote me....

Seems unlikely... so many of these folks only talk a good game. When the rubber meets the road, they'd mostly turn tail and run.

Yep.
Specifically, the ones who DO talk the tuff guy game online are exactly the ones who will run for cover and hide before everyone else.

A lot of these angry leftist are posers. Some not even American citizens. Some in China etc.
Others are enjoying a free ride off the taxpayers and so they literally are enamored with big government (for now).
Yet others are God haters who are gender confused and angry at life in general, so they come here because misery loves company.

During WW2 there were Jews who willfully tattled on their fellow Jews and worked with the Nazis to expose Underground Jewish efforts to defeat the Nazis. That's the type you are dealing with in CG and Tommy etc.

Trolling. He’ll either win by a hair or lose in a landslide. He has no path to a landslide win.

Where have we heard that before?



In 2028 the GOP has Nikki or Desantis. The democrats have Gavin Newsom. Its not that complicated.

Youre not bothered by the traitorous insurectionist actions and speech by Trump but you are by my avatar? Makes sense.

Noted Proud Boy leader "sobs for mercy". Quite the soldier.

He won by a hair that year. If he wins this time it will be another very close one. Thanks for proving my point.

Not a lot a real thought as to what happens from our local conservatives if Trump loses. It's like they cannot comprehend a world where he loses. This thread lends credence to the idea that a civil war will erupt in the Republican Party if Trump loses. They are not prepared for any other option.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

It’s 50/50-ish right now. You have to be prepared for the possibility of a loss. If it occurs, what is next?

You should prepare for the US becoming irrelevant.........soon

Democrats have a higher probability of a civil war than Republicans. It will be the progressive/Hamas wing vs the union wing.

There are no wings of the Republican party to go to war. Nikki and Desantis aren't that far apart on policies.

The largest economy in the world by far? You need to pull your head out of your ass.

Its not difficult to see whats transpiring. The economy is nothing but a bloated govt bubble that will explode. It aint gonna last much longer. You may need to peel the scales off your eyes. Surely, you know this.

Only if the government keep over-spending and the dollar collapses. Other countries are in even worse financial shape.

IF congress cuts spending back to sane levels ($5T?) the US should be fine.
Trump's (non-Covid) Budgets were about $4T, Biden's budgets are about $7.3T.

Biden’s 2025 Budget is $7.30T with a $1.8T deficit______TOTAL BIDEN $6.9T (in theory)
Biden’s 2024 Budget was $7.30T with a $2.0T deficit
Biden's 2023 Budget was $6.13T with a $1.7T deficit
Biden's 2022 Budget was $6.27T with a $1.4T deficit
Trump's 2021 Budget was $6.82T with a $2.8T deficit___ TOTAL TRUMP $7.6T (actual)
Trump's 2020 Budget was $6.55T with a $3.1T deficit
Trump's 2019 Budget was $4.40T with a $0.9T deficit
