Trump Ready To 'Burn It All Down' If He Doesn't Get His Way With GOP: NYT Reporter
Huffington Post ^ | November 11, 2022 | Mary Papenfuss

Posted on 11/12/2022 7:14:19 AM PST by lowbridge

The Republican Party may be girding for a brutal internal war amid the wreckage of its midterm elections — and Donald Trump is ready to “burn it all down” if he can’t keep his grip on the GOP, predicts New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman.

Who or what remains standing after such a clash is far from clear, she noted Friday.

The throw-down is likely to begin next week when Trump is expected to announce that he’s running again for president, against the advice even of some of his allies. Trump has already been trashing potential primary rivals, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and possibly Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and former Vice President Mike Pence.

Trump is “vulnerable” to internal attacks now in the wake of the Republican Party’s dismal showing in the midterms — but “that has happened before and he’s survived,” Haberman pointed out in a series of tweets.

“Extremely few major donors ... want to do anything for him right now and a number of them are having active conversations about the best way to stop him,” she added. “But. Again…sound familiar?”

Nevertheless, the party appears ready to do battle to shove Trump aside to improve Republican chances of future ballot box victories.

Never put stock in your opponent’s propaganda.

Burn it all down I say. Because what we have isn’t working anyway.

I would not trust the Slimes to not have some angle to set up for a lie if they told me the sky was blue.

At this point I am totally ready to abandon the GOP elitist RINO BS establishment. They are cuckholding, simpering wimps and schemers who don’t want the power to decide this country’s future and adherence to the Constitution. They are very happy with the second-tier power that Democrats deign to give them. Their fealty to Democrats in power makes the RICH.

The Republican Party did not fix or address the fraud in 2020

The Republican Party used fraud as a fund raiser, but did nothing.

The Republican Party doesn't care about winning, but loves mediocrity.

If it is time to tear it down and rebuild, OK then.

He is too much of a fighter. “You looking at me?” Must be his favorite movie quote. It’s good that he goes after Democrats. But he will go after Republicans too with gusto AND he does that even when he’s winning.

That’s the point. The Slimes doesn’t need to run propaganda when Trump is busy making an ass of himself direct via his own channels.

It needs to be - these sham elections in Arizona and Nevada and Michigan and Pennsylvania are outrageous and MUST be stopped.

ONE day of voting, no mail in ballots, voting must be done in person and counting must be completed within 24 hours.

I’m done with this BS

I'm in the mood for "going completely Galt". The Democrats will bring our society crashing to the ground faster if the Republicans get out of the way.

The thought of that will make GOPe types running for the doors, but the GOPe has been aiding and abetting the Democrats.

I'm an old veteran who actively dissuades young men and women from joining the military, too.

The extent of my involvement in the future lies with the True Texas Project.

The left has more fear of Trump now than the had the first run waders required for the deep propaganda.

LOL!

They most certainly do not. Trump front and center has now cost the GOP three elections in a row.

The chatter from the Left now is that Merrick Garland needs to hold off from indicting Trump to ensure there's nothing stopping him from running in '24.

They WANT Donald Trump on the top of the ticket!

The Left's greatest fear is that Republican voters dump him for someone like DeSantis.

This first requires winning elections in these states.

The red wave did not materialize because establishment Pubbies refused to support Trump. He put it the effort. They did not. It really is that simple. One man cannot do it alone. It takes an organization to fight an enemy that is deeply and broadly organized.
Trump is going to have to rebuild the Republican party from the ground up. No one else is capable of doing it. There are some excellent Lieutenants but they require a general.
Trash burns easily. A good plan.

Javanka are the ones leaking to Haberman. They have been for years. They’re also the leakers to Jonathan Swan at Axios..
