Report: Senior House Democrat tell Axios, 'We've all resigned ourselves to a second Trump presidency'

A senior House Democrat reportedly told Axios that many in Congress have resigned themselves to a second Trump term following an assassination attempt on the former president’s life this weekend.

While most lawmakers who spoke to Axios said that they could not make any proper predictions until after the Democratic National Convention, at least one senior leader believed that former President Donald Trump will win the election.

“We’ve all resigned ourselves to a second Trump presidency,” the lawmaker was quoted as saying.

This anonymous quote sparked numerous reactions on social media.

“If you’re a ‘senior Democrat’ that feels this way, you should absolutely retire and make space for true leadership that refuses to resign themselves to fascism. This kind of leadership is functionally useless to the American people. Retire,” said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

“Beyond pathetic,” said Never Trump Republican Bill Kristol.

Aside from Trump, other congressional Democrats told Axios that the move to replace President Joe Biden as the nominee has likely ended due to the attempted assassination.

“Congressional Democrats’ all-consuming angst over President Biden’s candidacy has taken an abrupt backseat in lawmakers’ minds in the wake of an assassination attempt against former President Trump,” reported Axios.

Democrat lawmakers said in private they will be shifting priorities to their own security and that of their staff as opposed to settling political scores in the hopes of bringing the country to a calm.

“We’re all just focused on expressi....

Don’t let them lull you to sleep - this is not over.

What is it they’re so afraid of?

A robust economy?
A thriving job market?
A more balanced international trade market?
Control of our own borders and national sovereignty?
Manufacturing returning to the US?
A restoration of energy independence? The Keystone Pipeline?
Xi, Putin, Kim Jong Un, the ayatollahs, Hamas being reined in?

Exactly. Democrat tears fill my cup with schadenfreude, but evil never rests. We cannot get complacent.

Is there a current shortage of ballot forgers?

They are afraid of Trump lifting the hood of this corrupt government, just look at the reaction they had over Trump trying to find out what the hell was going on in Ukraine they IMMEDIATELY impeached him for a phone call!! THAT is what they are afraid of! NOW they have made the situation much worse Trump will surround himself with people who will dig into the corruption far more than he probably would have!!

Mr Kristal, you really have to give it up, you wretched POS. You’re about to be swept into utter irrelevance, loser

Don’t believe it. Massive fraud is coming, and now they will redouble those efforts in House and Senate races.

NEVER believe most of them are ready to peacefully open their scaly claws, and release the power of The Office.

Some Dems are already writing rough drafts of Biden’s
“Comeback Kid” speech they want him to give after he ‘turns it all around’ for election in November.
The assassination attempt changes nothing except their likely tactics!

Trump will need one hundred Jack Reachers to do that.

What question was Bill Kristol responding too when he answered "Beyond Pathetic?"

Was it perhaps, "How would you describe yourself?"

Trump winning the presidency is not sufficient. He will need a majority in the House and in the Senate to try getting anything done. Rest assured the entrenched bureaucracy will hamstring his every effort to institute reforms and to isolate and prosecute the guilty.

“...this is not over.”

Of course not, you know they plan to steal this election too.

The borders were/are open just to create the amount of ‘voters’ they will need etc.

I wonder if massive fraud would work this time. With Trump as strong as he is and Joe as weak, stealing the election this time might be too obvious. It would prevent them from using it in the future.

My theory is that they will once again try to stack his administration with Neocons and Goldman-Sachs employees.

If I were Trump I would fire every appointed official. Then instead of trying to fill the positions, I would leave them vacant and ignore any regulations or rulings that came from the departments as having no official leader.

Focus on closing the border with military troops if necessary, turning down the heat on foreign wars, and giving domestic policy over to gridlock.

Feigning surrender is an obvious subterfuge.

It was obvious the last time.

My guess is Trump’s popularity exploded yesterday, and he is going to win on 11/5/2024 with a landslide, electoral college plus Senate and Congress. G-d just saved his life for his purpose. I’m gonna enjoy that night plus the next four years (plus lots more, as Republican popularity hits record levels).

My take—use every means and invent a few more to steal the election and start WW III to cover it up. Get Trump in a shooting war, that people will hate, start anti-war, anti-draft movements to unseat or force Trump to do a Nixon. Don’t dig too deep or the truth about a bunch of assassinations will come out.
