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.

...unless we do a big steal again, which will be a bit more tricky this time around, or succeed in our next assassination attempt.
I think the sh#tocrats steal elections. I also believe that many Sh#tocrats don’t realize that they steal elections. They honestly believe they they are the party of the Angels.
They are really that stupid. They believe their own propaganda.
Republican majorities mean nothing.
Republican leadership is Uniparty. They showed they hated Trump already last time.
I don’t believe anything out of socialists mouths.
Democrats should just stay home. It’s not worth going out to vote.
Not ‘til ‘29, and even then, if his VP runs, they’ll pile on him/her.
If Biden stays and loses big maybe Soros will shrug it off and the others who gave up $91 million and more will laugh it off and say “maybe next time in four years but we’ll support America’s new president.”
OR NOT.
💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣
Oh bullshi’ite! This is a smokescreen to induce us to be complacent. The dems are running the ballot printers at warp speed.
Of course it’s not over.
It’s just begun.
Forget the GOP. We’re on our own and Donald Trump is our hope and prayer.
I was just wondering the other day if this old Leftist hack was still on two feet and breathing.
My expectations of his not have been shattered.
Wow, what sage advice. /sarc.
I do not know of one "complacent" person, on either side, at this point....
“..We’ve all resigned ourselves to a second Trump presidency..”
Omitted part: “..so we’re planting timebombs; sowing weeds -EVERYWHERE WE CAN in order to make sure he gets the blame for them..”
I hope many of those a**holes resign themselves to prison.
Oy vey! That sounds likely from those Demonicrats. Too bad for them that they’re fighting our Warrior President and his MAGA army (I’m trying term for Trump voters).
As much as I appreciate your optimism/enthusiasm, I think you’re giving the republicant’s far too much credit.
Not buying it. Commiecrats never give up.
“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?”
Yes
Yes
Yes
Absolutely, yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
Translation: Trump is so popular after that assassination attempt that we can’t rig the election enough to keep Diaper Brains in office.
Shouldn’t they rename that guy William Dunning-Kruger? He strikes me as another joker who typically believes he’s the smartest guy in the room.
