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.

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.

"Here, drink this! We're going to lose spectacularly and when it's over, I'm going to blame you, and nobody will ever give you the time of day."

That description fits Tulsi Gabbard to a T — which is why I specifically mentioned her.

What we are seeing is a major political realignment in the U.S. that has been years in the making. It’s not about conservatives vs. liberals anymore (if it ever really was), but about nationalists vs. globalists.

Ultimately, the biggest loser in all this is going to be the Republican establishment — because the powers in D.C. have already demonstrated over the last 2-4 years that they don’t need Republicans to implement their political agenda. That’s why we saw a flood of those “Republicans” endorsing Joe Biden in 2020, and why we are seeing a continued migration of establishment dopes like Liz Cheney away from the shrinking GOP camp.
