Even with acquittal, GOP sees trial ending Trump's shot at future office

The Hill ^ | 2/12/21 | Alexander Bolton

With Trump’s support DeSantis would win the nomination in a walk. The GOPe and Never-Trump Republicans will split their vote between 10 candidates. My money is on DeSantis (how about a DeSantis/Trump ticket?).

[HighSierra5]

I’ve gotten more thumbs up for my Trump sticker than ever before. By the time 2024 comes around people will be ready for a change.

[bert]

I think you don’t understand........ the 74 million are irrelevant. Biden is President

A war is required to restore America.

[Irenic]

Agreed. Yeah, I don’t know why he would want to go back to DC.

[glimmerman70]

If anything it’s made him stronger as once the trial started it showed no evidence he incited anything. They will have to cheat more than ever before in order to beat Trump in 2024. As the next 3 years go on there will be more and more evidence of the wide spread voter fraud. The dems over played the hand. They will want to keep Trump on the defense the next 3 years with allegations of BS stories that even there own voters won’t believe. Meanwhile the dems are going to have real stories and allegations brought against them.

Methinks a future trip to Alaska by Donald Trump is not out of the question. Perhaps before the Primary Election? Toss the witch, Murkowski!

[Kath]

It is not up to the spineless senators. It is up to the people and I believe he would easily win the nomination in 2024 if he wanted it, but I don’t believe he will run again.

[elpadre]

before making such a statement the writer should find out how 75 million Trump supporters feel about it.

[Altura Ct.]

I don’t care what the GOP says. In fact the GOP can go FT.

[1Old Pro]

From the viewpoint of some Republican senators

Romney, Collins, Murkowski, Sasse, Toomey - OK, got it.

[KittyKares]

The GOP will never have to worry about getting donations from a Trump supporter like me.

[jdsteel]

At this point Donald Trump has transformed from an individual to an example.

In their quest to destroy the man they have created an army of MAGA candidates who are willing to fight for America.

A massive MAGA movement.

Sure.. going through a legal process always ends things for the guy on trial. Remember, that crack cocaine footage and "compelling case" ended Marion Barry's career.

Oh wait...

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Senate Republicans, including those who do not plan to vote to convict former President Trump, say this week’s impeachment trial has effectively ended any chance of him becoming the GOP presidential nominee in 2024.

LOL - why is this even an article? Trump's chance of winning the 2024 Republican nomination is not up to Senate Republicans. It will be decided by voters in Republican primaries, and the fact is that Trump will go into to the 2024 primaries as the overwhelming favorite. If he wants the nomination, he will have it. No one is paying attention to this "impeachment" farce, and Senate Republicans are morons if they think this post-office nonsense matters even as much as last January's meaningless impeachment.

[Bearshouse]

Trump to the GOP: “2022 We take the house and make me speaker. Then i won’t run for POTUS.” Speaker for 6 years. heh heh.

Wouldn't it be wonderful for PJT to run for the senate and PJT Jr to run for president. I want to live to see that.

[M Kehoe]

Hi.

In the fwiw department, Biteme may have gotten 80 million votes, but 80 million people didn’t vote for him.

That is why we have to support fighters like Marjorie Greene. She fights. The Deep State are currently trying to marginalize her. No matter how outrageous the claims against her, just "consider the source". Marjorie is a burr in their saddle. They thought they owned Georgia lock, stock, and barrel. They are mistaken. She is MAGA.

[joshua c]

Dream on. His approval numbers are steady. But Trump or no Trump, MAGA ain’t goin’ away!
