I have changed from two days ago on this question. More evidence has poured in, the reality is hard to deny…as much as I’d like revenge for what they did to Trump, it’s just not going to happen. The moment passed and in the end it’s become a tragedy heading toward what will be a farce if he tries again.
Nothing to be done about it. Biden and Obama handed him his ass in a head to head matchup in Pennsylvania. They kicked his ass all across that state. That’s the future staring at us.
I think Trump would get crushed very badly if he tried again. I happen to also think DeSantis will get beaten in a national election…just maybe not as badly. What yesterday showed us is the high water mark for Republicans when everything was stacked in their favor. Beginning in 2024, they become a permanent minority party, and there will never be another Republican president.
The demographic time bomb we’ve heard about for many years has gone off.
Or disappear entirely, which would be much better.
The wise man built his house upon the rock. The GOP is sand.
There is NO POSSIBILITY that the GOP can form the foundation for what I want, what most of us (I think) want, which is a right-wing governing majority. On Inauguration Day 2017, I posted that Trump had six months to renounce the GOP and to find and fund 435 House candidates for 2018 who would run on a MAGA agenda.
He didn't do that. He thought it wiser to pretend to be a Republican and try to drag the GOP elected officials into a MAGA program (or it was a con from the beginning). At the time, I thought he was looking at it like a hostile takeover in business, and that McConnell and Ryan were middle managers who would just kneel before the new Chairman.
Anyway, it no longer matters. The GOP happily surrendered 40 House seats in November 2018 just to screw Trump. The GOP Senate warned Trump that he would be removed if he interfered with the Weissman investigation, EVEN THOUGH they all know it was based on fraud and perjury.
The GOP is rotten to the core. it will NEVER be converted into what you want it to be.
It's time to move on.
