"They'll never say it publicly," Politico reports in Thursday morning's Playbook. "But Republicans in Washington are dreading Donald Trump's return to the stump, predicting his rallies will cause a major headache for the party as it mounts a bid to take back Congress in 2022." Congressional Republicans are privately relieved Twitter and Facebook banned Trump, Politico says, but the resumption of his rallies in June likely means he just gets a new platform to "spout conspiracy theories about the election and air his grievances," denying the party a chance to move on and attack President Biden's agenda.
"If we win the majority back in 17 months, it's going to be in spite of Trump — not because of Trump," one senior aide to a House Republican considered one of Trump's top congressional supporters told Politico's Playbook team, anonymously. "He will totally take credit if we win the House back — but it won't be because of him. This guy is a disaster."
A surprising array of Republicans say they would like Trump to fade back and allow a Republican with less baggage to represent the party in 2024, Politico's Olivia Beavers and Burgess Everett report. "Of course, most of them would sooner retire than attach their names to that opinion. As one publicly Trump-praising Republican lawmaker put it: 'I'd like to see a fresh face. I think we have a lot of them.'" Other congressional Republicans similarly pined, anonymously, for Trump's retirement.

We'll see.
Trump will talk about the stolen election, and undermine the credibility of the Usurper Administration. And he will hammer away at its manifest failures.
Politico definitely has the GOP’s best interests at heart, we should be grateful to them for writing this important article filled with inside information. /s
News from Yahoos.
The truth is most of the Congressional Republicans are Assistant Democrats and need to be replaced.
If we keep re-electing Assistant Democrats, they will keep assisting the Democrats.
Taking back the House with people who want to Make America North Mexico will still result in us losing our country.
The GOP is the reason we do not have a completed wall.
Name names or it is a lie.
We need to start rejecting faceless gossip as news.
Personally, I don't doubt there are some who dread his return, the same ones who stabbed him in the back.
And they damn well should be concerned, because Trump doesn't seem much like a "Forgive and Forget" kind of guy.
Work with trump and Win It All and of course save the United States at the same time
Trump was a disaster for the treasonous "assistant Democrats" who only wanted to share in the spoils of a declining United States.
more anonymous sources. I’m dead sure that the establishment GOP dreads Trump’s return to rallies, etc. When have any of them really challenged any of the Media-Dem Party agenda? They just want to be able to go back to the cool cocktail parties, get good press, and have drinks with their Media-Dem Party buddies after a hard day of doing nothing for the American people.
Yahoos fling their poop at one another. Dirty smelly hairy creatures.
I bet they are. Because they know he will take over. Whomever he endorses will win. Unless they cheat again.
Who are we going to believe, actual real voters or anonymous “sources” from a leftist rag?
Most Republican politicians are cowards.
If these twerps would simply support a Trumpian America-First agenda, they would likely win the House back. 40% of the Latino vote and 20% of the Black vote is no small thing, people. Just do it.
And don’t think it is a lie. The secret (and public) anti-Trumpers within the GOP Congregation are legion.
