Shellshocked GOP ponders future with Trump
The Hill ^ | January 07 2021 | JONATHAN EASLEY,BRETT SAMUELS AND MORGAN CHALFANT

Posted on 01/08/2021 1:25:46 AM PST by knighthawk

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.

You are feeling the way you are because we are now living in Biden’s Weaponized Banana Republic which is unofficially now China’s 24th Province. The Republicans are “shell shocked” because they know they screwed the pooch so bad there is nothing left of the GOP.

Remember this? No one did anything about this.

Do these dumbass GOPers realize after Jan. 20th the Republican party is FINISHED? TOAST?? That they will NEVER win another election again? Do they forget Schumers announcement that the occupiers intend to stack the court, dump the filibuster rule and stack the Senate?

Pres. Trump is exposing, not only the radical left, but traitors. Almost every Republican, including the vice president it seems, has abandoned him.

Pres. Trump has tremendous courage and I STILL stand by him!

*****************************************************

I DO TOO. His acting like most men do (an irrelevant point, actually) is not different than 99% of all the men I know (the other 1% are gay guys). I have heard the 99% say the most outrageously funny expression of exasperation or in anger and I laughed with them.

I cannot and will not excuse the ignorance and stupidity of the remaining GOP who include Romney, etc. They are GOPers in name only but are actually part of the Deep State or defacto Dems. Pelosie must have put out a lot to achieve her status and now she is feared for what she could say but to keep her status she must not.

I felt great sorrow and feel great sorrow for what has transpired this past year. In the future I will not be listening to Democrats, friends or foes as they do not have brains capable of logic. This past year they have demonstrated vast amounts of ill-gained power almost insurmountable hubris and stupidity and basically stupid people have fallen for it.

What a place to live in. Geez.

I think a lot of GOPe does not care. All they want is a piece of the pie like Romney (check his son) and they love the globalism the Dems arrange for them. Cheap laber they also love so yeah, a lot of GOPe cannot care less.

We may not have any political power once the occupiers take over, but we have numbers and once the low infos see the nightmare the occupiers have planned for the country we will have even more.

I agree. And hopefully someone can take lessons learned from Trump and carry the torch of rebellion and freedom. We are the new counterculture and our numbers will grow.

According to them, they lost all center-right voters. They have already lost MAGA voters. So what are they left with?

Folks, Deep State just stole elections nationwide.

They are likely holding the POTUS and First Family hostage.

THEY DON’T NEED VOTERS ANY MORE.

The GOP “Fox News’ed” themselves.

It’s too bad their “viewer ratings” are only published every two years.

The GOP has no future because they deserted Trump. They know the election was stolen but are too cowardly to do anything about it

Dems may not need voters. But GOP needs them. GOP has the short end of stick. They are supposed to play a controlled opposition with decent share of votes. If their base abandon them, they can't even play the role. The void will be filled by the left or another conservative party. In the former case, there will be open warfare between Pelosi/Schumer wing and AOC/Bernie wing.

“May the MAGA part emerge, and do it quickly!”

The fear of a “MAGA” party is why they are trying to impeach President Trump with 12 days to go.
