“President Trump or Trump coalition candidates dominate the 2024 leaders,” McLaughlin told I&I. “With or without President Trump running, Trump voters will pick the next Republican nominee. The establishment, Mitt Romney-type candidates will be crushed.”
On Fox News on Tuesday, author and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza warned, “the traditional Republican Party by itself cannot win a majority” and the MAGA movement alone cannot win either. “But together, they have the potential of winning a majority” as they unite rural, working-class, and suburban America, winning “the heart of the country.”
D’Souza adds that “foolishly, Mitch McConnell and the traditional Republican Party are making this easy” for the left as it divides this GOP coalition. “Driving a wedge between the traditional GOP and the MAGA movement – this is what the left is all about right now. This is the key to their success.”
It was Aesop, 16 centuries ago, who first imparted the wisdom that “united we stand, divided we fall.” Some prominent Republicans appear too stupid to understand what even a child knows from fables.

Politics are dead. They've been Kabuki theater for some time but it was made official in 2020. We're now a Kleptocracy where the handlers for the Uniparty rig elections with impunity.
Who would donate, volunteer, or vote in rigged elections? Who's still going to be Charlie Brown telling themselves that Lucy isn't going to pull the football away?
On the plus side, it's clear to any voter that the solution lies not within the false halves of the corrupt system but outside of it, as proven in 2020 by the power brokers who corrupted it.
“Who’s still going to be Charlie Brown telling themselves that Lucy isn’t going to pull the football away?”
Lotta them on this thread!
I could see the start of a right leaning conservative party. I could also see the start of a middle libertarian party.
Neither would win in 2024. Especially after the heartbreaking rise to power for Kamhala. (however you spell it.). (Sarcasm)
“Dems own it all. Are we seriously expecting them to unfix the fix?”
Ah, there’s the rub. If they can dial in any candidate they want the GOP is gone forever.
The only shot we have is for the next two years while there are some GOP AGs to prosecute the fraud. AND, anyone with ahem, standing, needs to bring civil suits against the low level slobs who actually perpetuated the fraud at the local level. Bankrupt enough of them and they will think twice before trying it again. Civil suits only need the preponderance of evidence to succeed.
I always wondered why notably Republicans, but politician’s in general, did things that seemed damaging to the goals of their party. I have come to believe that just being in a position to bargain for your party-damaging vote is so profitable that they don’t care. I read that the ten “Republicans” who voted to impeach Trump collectively took in 170 million dollars. For that price I think the average politician would slit his mother’s throat.
The author of “The sociopath next door” wrote that although sociopaths made up only ten percent of the population their percentages in management and politics were much higher.
There won’t be a country to worry about at that point.
Why would anyone care whether any future President is a "Republican"? I'm more interested in whether they respect the Constitution or not.
Frankly, so far as I care, the "GOP" can go right straight to hell with Fox news. They both had their chance, and we, the USA, might not live thru this anyway.
So let them both just burn in hell for all I care.
A******s.
the only winners in upcoming elections will be those candidates chosen by CCP, regardless of party
which will turn into a race to see who can sell out bigger and faster
The GOPe are the ones hammering in the divide - and they blame the great unwashed.
What policies do Mitch and MAGA have in common? Judges, I guess. Beyond that, what?
And just look how those judges turned out.
Would they be referred to as Charlies Brown or Charlie Browns?
You’re connected?
The Reform Party was quite successful for a short time. Unfortunately it seems to have been created for the wrong reason (a vendetta by Perot against Bush) and so didn't last long.
A populist party led by Trump or a Trump-ist might be able to gather steam quite quickly, especially with financial backing from Trump.
Meanwhile in the GOP: You and I can give a limited amount to individual true conservative candidates, while radicalized corporations can shovel huge amounts to the party. That money will always be controlled by RINOs and siphoned off to their preferred RINO candidates.
Yes we can win a race here or there, but is there any real hope of taking back the GOP when the purse strings are held by the likes of McConnell?
No more GOP ever. They betrayed us for 20 years and actively joined with the enemy now.
Elections? You have to be kidding. The republic has s over.
Are you kidding? After 4 years of Biden/Harris the country will be primed for another Republican.
The Republican Party was a new party that succeeded the Whig Party. The first President of the Republican Party was President Abraham Lincoln. Some consider him the Father of the Republican Party but he isn’t he was the first Republican President. What was happening then to the Whig Party is in a sense what is happening now. The country deeply divided (our country is really deeply divided even if people do not want to think so) and it ended up a fight between abolitionists and non-abolitionists. Secession was talked about long before it happened in the South. There are a lot of correlations going on today and what happened leading up to the Civil War of 1861. People like to focus on the CW but people need to look at before (from before the Revol War with the ratification of the Constitution and Bill of Rights which people think happened simultaneously, it didn’t) and after the war (up to about 1931, maybe through the 1950’s) to understand what is going on today to see the patterns being repeated. Unlike most believe, the USA has been in a constant state of turmoil even before its founding.
