The problem the GOP has with Trump is that he’s the only national political figure in modern times who can credibly follow through on a threat to run as an Independent and guarantee that the party gets shellacked up and down the ticket in 2024.

It sounds outlandish, but based on the stories we’ve seen in recent months among some prominent political names I would not be surprised if Trump has already laid the groundwork for a possible independent run in 2024 with Tulsi Gabbard on his ticket.

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.

Hhhhhhmmmmmm. I’ve not liked Trump’s lashing out at GOP pol’s especially DeSantis. He just sounds like a basket case. But if he’s laying the basis for an independent run with Gabbard, a party-destroying run at that, I’ll change my point of view quickly. That would be a stroke of genius. I think Trump truly loves this country with all his heart and if he thinks burning down the corrupt GOP establishment is vital to our liberties then I’m in line with that. it will suck in the short term. But longer-term, I can see it being the best possible option. Thank you for this insightful post. Also,I think Gabbard is legit. I liked her before her departure from the Dim’s because she’s been consistently anti-interventionalist. I consider the constant state of war to be the greatest threat to our liberty (“Waris the health of the state”). Now she’s chimed in on the other greatest threat — suppression of speech — so I’m down. What a great ticket that would be

I don’t think it is all that outlandish. The GOPe has been screwing Trump for seven years.

I have no doubt that Trump will run as an independent if he fails to secure the GOP nomination.

Picking a running mate might be difficult because you're pretty much asking someone to join you in drinking the cyanide-laced koolaid as far as their future political life is concerned.
