Shellshocked Republicans on Thursday said President Trump’s grip on the party is significantly weaker after he incited a mob to attack the Capitol, but some questioned whether their party would be free of his hold anytime soon.
The challenges to Trump are clearly mounting. There is chatter his Cabinet could invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him, an idea favored by at least one GOP lawmaker. Tensions between Trump and his long loyal vice president are clear, and there is evident anger in the Senate GOP with the president.
National Republicans interviewed by The Hill said Trump may have permanently alienated millions of center-right voters who were disgusted by Wednesday’s ugly scene.

GOP has to ponder its future, it has a snowflake chance of getting elected anywhere when it pisses on its own voters.
The anti Romneys were purged from this site.
Trump is not going away and his base of support will either bolster a Republican Party with Trump as a major influence or build a new party with Trump at its head.
Between fraud and apathy the GOP is dead.
I’m confident Kameltoe’s incompetence (after she does Sleepy Joe) will bring those “Center-rights” back. But it will be strictly on MAGA terms as their suburban hoods will literally be in flames.
GOP will be no more. They made a comeback because of Trump. Now they’re officially done. We are not the party of globalists.
Good, let me know where they bury it so that I can piss on its grave

I am in contact with my local clerk/election board trying to figure out how to reregister as an independent
I have been GOP since turning 18 in 1985 and I cannot get out of that den of sniveling sellout cowards fast enough.
More damn lies...guess that’s how the story shall end, no different than it’s been for over four years.
I found some elements of his agenda to be questionable at best and destructive at worst. I’m a big fan of fixed tariffs imposed uniformly on all products imported from any given country. But imposing tariffs on a commodity-by-commodity basis never struck me as a good idea.
Trump's fixation on protecting the U.S. steel industry, for example, was baffling to me. It was great in theory but terrible in practice. It probably cost him tens of thousands of votes in key Rust Belt states. A few months ago I came across a labor report with a bunch of statistics by industry. It said there were fewer than 85,000 steelworkers in the U.S. as of 2018 or 2019. Protecting the jobs of such a small cohort of voters never made any sense to me, when you consider that for every steelworker in the U.S. there are probably 15-20 people employed in OTHER industries that rely on steel in their manufacturing processes and were seriously disrupted by the rising cost of steel. At least one major Japanese auto manufacturer (Mazda, I think) shelved their plan to build a new plant in the U.S. due to their rising cost projections for domestic materials.
But hey — what do I know?
That is very true. We live in dangerous times.
Fat lot of good that will do for the rest of us. Justice delayed is justice denied.
And justice is a terrible substitute for goodness to begin with.
He’ll be as old as Bumbling China Joe is now and I’d bet a million times the brain power.
Biden stole the election, but Trump’s political career is over.
