Even with acquittal, GOP sees trial ending Trump's shot at future office
The Hill ^ | 2/12/21 | Alexander Bolton

Posted on 02/12/2021 5:46:20 AM PST by Bearshouse

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.

From the viewpoint of some Republican senators, the compelling case presented by House prosecutors carries a silver lining: It means they likely won’t have to worry about Trump running for president again in three years, while at the same time eroding his influence in party politics more generally.

Biden and his army of criminal illegals plan to totally eliminate it by 2022, 2024 at the latest. It’s destined to become the southern sector of the United States of Northern Mexico (some say it already is!).

Murkowski needs to worry about her own arse. If Sarah Palin chooses to primary her she is toast no matter how much money the Democrats and RINOs throw at her.

Agree with every point you’ve made. What we need to do is relentlessly pound the poop out of all those RINO basta*ds at every opportunity. If I was younger I would create a website solely dedicated to exposing everything they do that undermines our God-given and Constitutionally recognized rights and freedoms. I despise them at least as much as I do the ‘rats!

Trump can not effectively run again simply because will be too old

“I don’t think they understand the number - 74 million.”

74 million is the number of votes that were credited to Trump. That does not include the thousands or millions of votes that Trump received that were switched by Dominion to be Biden votes. 74 million is a very low estimate of the number of Trump supporters that were and still are supporting him now and in the future.

I think Trump’s next move will involve transforming the GOP into the MAGA party, by supporting real conservatives in primaries against pseudo-cons

They aren’t called “The Stupid Party” for nothing.

They are NOT "stupid". They are corrupt. There's a difference.

The GOP Establishment has the job of PRETENDING to resist globalism, of PRETENDING to look after their base, while always doing the bidding of their Donor Class, which wants cheap labor.

If Trump RUNS the GOP, why did they help the Democrats cheat him out of office?

I think you’re probably right. I’m hoping that the 2022 and 2024 elections will make that unnecessary. If they don’t, I think guns will be the only recourse we have left.

You say DJT will be too old to run in 2024/2025.

Joe Biden sits in WH right now and he is 78 going on 79 and brain is fried...

DON’T RULE DJT OUT... he is a non smoker and non drinker...he very easily can win..and if he runs...HE WILL WIN...ALL Republicans are scared of him, he knows too much and he is well liked...

Our support for DJT IS STRONGER THAN EVER...even here in liberal Maryland, there are Trump flags and signs still on display...I love it...

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.

Well and truly said and every word of it!

There will be no more real elections.

The fraudulent method for stealing has been established and accepted.

With the influx of illegals and forgiveness of student loans.

The Africans will be bought.

There effectively will be no elections. The voters have been bought and paid for.

To rely on elections for federal offices is proforma. The results were decided beforehand

I don’t consider myself a Republican. I just vote for them because it’s the only way to oppose the Democratic Party.
.....................................................
Which is a good argument for why we need a viable third party, and President Trump (currently in exile due to the coup) is just the leader who can successfully establish such a party.

True. This is why I will no longer vote, ever again. I’m no longer even registered. This country can not be saved through elections. It is far too corrupt for that to ever help the people - who are no longer free but are merely now subjects of the oligarchs/new royalty.

MAGA2 is coming!!
......................................
What we need to do is figure out a way to solidify and grow the base on a day-to-day basis. It worries me that unlike prior to the “steal”, when I was only one of hundreds of people in my area wearing Trump hats and flying Trump flags, I now see very few hats, flags, etc. People are naturally fickle, have other things to be concerned about, etc, etc. Nevertheless, I’ve been thinking of starting a local coalition of die-hard Trump supporters willing to participate in car rallies and other public demonstrations just to let the ‘rats and the sleepers know we’re still a force to be reckoned with!

Watch and see who becomes the loyal opposition to the Democrats. Will it be Trump or the GOPE? We all know the GOPE couldn’t and wouldn’t try to fight their way out of a burning outhouse if they were trapped inside unless the Democrats told them too and then they would fail.

Trump will be the guy more than likely taking it too the Democrats once he decides on a media platform and the Democrats will be attacking him daily and ignoring the GOPE because they know the GOPE is not a threat to anyone.
