The damaging revelations of the Jan. 6 committee hearings are fueling skepticism among Senate Republicans that former President Trump can win the GOP nomination in 2024 or even run for another term in the White House.

One Republican senator, who requested anonymity to comment on the former president, said the “cascade” of embarrassing details about Trump’s conduct in the weeks before Jan. 6, 2021, and during the attack on the U.S. Capitol will seriously damage his political viability ahead of the 2024 election.

“The Hill” Hill of what, I always wonder.

[Joann37]

So two of them. Now they can say Senator(s) plural!

[pepsi_junkie]

I'm with you. They aren't who they say they are. There are virtually none of them that supported him in any way legislatively. They give more support to Biden and that's not really debatable (and don't give me the judges argument, they're supporting Biden's nominees too).

They simply are not who they say they are.

[joesbucks]

Wait! I thought no one was watching. And anyone that did didn’t see anything that would sway their vote.

[pepsi_junkie]

The GOP needs to be careful or he could go bull moose.

They'd love that. In their mind it would guarantee a democrat win and they don't mind that at all. They like dems. It's conservatives they hate, and Trump is with us so he's gotta go.

WGAF what these RINO dinosaurs think? And I note they’re speaking anonymously.

[Rummyfan]

“ A second GOP senator, who also requested anonymity, said the overwhelming majority of Republican senators don’t want Trump to be the party’s nominee for president again. “

I bet they don't. They are afraid of him. And that he'll lead a primary campaign to dump them.

[Cobra64]

Yup. “GOP” stands for “Gutless Old People.”

[Political Junkie Too]

Why don't you all first deal with the damage that your own leader McConnell just inflicted on your 2022 chances?

Mitch McConnell gave away the GOP 2022 advantage by believing that Schumer would hold up his end of a deal. McConnell sold the farm for a handful of magic beans, and now we're stuck with being a part of the bipartisan CHIPS bill while Schumer reneges on his promise to McConnell to not use reconciliation. The Schumer-Manchin deal will do exactly that, follow the reconciliation process.

President Trump will be better served if he ignores things like this Hill head-fake, and instead works on seeing Mitch McConnell removed as the Republican Senate leader before he can do any more damage to the party's chances in November.

They need to look at the polls, and how Trump has vastly expanded the Republican Party.

“...Actual conservatives...”

That’s like saying actual women are called that because they say so. They may be, until they get caught with their pants down. And a lot of GOP “conservatives” have been observed already.

[dfwgator]

Like Mitt Romney saying he’s “severely Conservative”.

[Tommy Revolts]

It’s not up to them. kma.

[joshua c]

they have always been never Trumpers

nothing new

[Michael.SF.]

apparently the RINO’s and RINO wanna bees are watching.

[stars & stripes forever]

An overwhelming majority of AMERICANS don’t want the majority of Republican Senators to be in office.

“One Republican senator, who requested anonymity to comment on the former president, said the “cascade” of embarrassing details...”

Cascada???

Romney — has to be.

And yes, it is very possible to find Republican senators who hate Trump.

[SoConPubbie]

Seems fitting it would be you, a Never-Trumper, who posts NeverTrumper trash Propaganda from the Far-Lwft TheHill.

They’ve never met a conservative they won’t lie about

[Honorary Serb]

The Jan 6 committee is 100% BS!!!!

The new 2023 Republican House should investigate and discredit the “Jan 6 committee”!!!!

And we MUST reelect President Trump!!!!

[yuleeyahoo]

Repeal the 17th Amendment.
