Republicans are privately debating 'how best to accelerate Trump’s exit': report
Raw Story ^ | September 04, 2024 | Brad Reed

Some Republicans believe that they are better off with Trump winning the White House on the grounds that he will be theoretically term limited and thus can be shoved off the stage after 2028.

Should he lose to Harris this fall, the thinking goes, "he would once again insist he was cheated and hold out the possibility of a fourth consecutive bid, prolonging the party’s capture."

Other Republicans, however, want to have Trump gone as quickly as possible and they think that they could hold off major policy advances by a Harris presidency by retaking the Senate this fall and by having a conservative Supreme Court restrict any objectionable executive orders she issues.

FTA: "One high-level Republican, conceding it may only be 'wishful thinking,' even floated the idea of a Harris victory followed by Biden pardons of both his son, Hunter, and Trump," reports Martin. "That would take the issue of both cases off Harris’ plate and, more to the point, drain the energy behind Trump’s persecution complex so that Republicans can get on with the business of suppporting Democrats winning elections." Fixed.

Well just throwing this out there what if Trump is jailed, loses the election and Harris comes in and strong arms everyone and manages a Democrat Congress, GOP becomes a minority party, overturns the SCOTUS and packs it with hardcore Leftists what is our options?

You’re wrong. I am sure that Raw Story is the first place Republican elected officials would go to discuss their future plans.

These loser “republicans” need to jump off a high bridge. Their self-centered, self-loathing knows no bounds. Really they fear for their incarceration when their corruptions are put to light. The **** with these reprobates.

It’s time for the GOP to either die of natural causes or be euthanized.

They can get rid of Trump, but they won’t get the Republican Party back.

The only thing they loathe is us. Like their fellow Democrats they seem convinced that “MAGA” is one guy and the rest of us will return to our sheep pens if he’s gone.

They need to realize that the potential of peaceful political representation is keeping things relatively calm so far.

We have had the following GOP Presidential Candidates.

1988 GHW Bush
1992 GHW Bush
1996 Bob Dole
2000 GW Bush
2004 GW Bush
2008 John McCain
2012 Mitt Romney
2016 Donald Trump
2020 Donald Trump
2024 Donald Trump

Until Donald Trump does anyone recall there being a single prominent Republican who said: “I am not going to vote for the Republican Presidential Candidate?”

personally, I make that argument a lot, that if we want Trump off our backs, the best way at this point is to elect him, which also has the advantage of saving our country for 4 more disastrous years of Harris and democrats screwing everything up.

RINOs fall into the “OTHER REPUBLICANS” category.

Mitch the Chinese Bitch thinks he can hold off the worst of what President Harris would do in the Senate, and then deflate the MAGA movement over the next four years.

Look at how bad things are now with the economy, foreign policy and their domestic agenda for the trans crowd, the enviro nuts and Hamas whackos.

McConnell thinks he can control this?

If that’s true, then where has he been for the last four years?

He’s delusional, him and his China-loving treasonous clowns.

They would rather see America destroyed than to relinquish their control over their cherished slave-labor China trade.

Every bad thing that has happened in the last four years, beginning with the stolen 2020 election, falls on the shoulders of these dirtbags.

McConnell and his buddies on Capitol Hill should be charged with treason and removed from office.
