Mulvaney: I Hope Trump Doesn’t Run — GOP Doesn’t Need His ‘Baggage’
Breitbart ^ | 19 Jul 2022 | PAM KEY

Posted on 07/20/2022 7:48:10 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

Former Trump acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said Tuesday on “CNN Tonight” that he hoped former President Donald Trump doesn’t run for president in 2024.

Anchor Laura Coates asked, “If he were to run for re-election yet again, we don’t know if he intends to do that. If he is the RNC nominee, do you intend to vote for him?”

Mulvaney said, “I am one of those Republicans who hopes the former President Trump doesn’t run. In all fairness, we don’t need him anymore. He changed our party. We have a lot of folks, a new generation of folks, Ron DeSantis, Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, go down the list of folks who could give us the same that Donald Trump gave without the baggage. As a Republican, I am thinking if the election were on today and Joe Biden was the nominee for the Democrats or Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom, there is probably only one mainstream Republican who could lose, and that’s Donald Trump. Knowing what I know, I would be hard pressed to support Donald Trump again.”

He added, “I think we moved beyond Donald Trump clearing the field. I think that is one thing that the January 6 committee has accomplished.”

He concluded, “To the extent they wanted to wound him politically, I think that happened. There has been polling data recently, for the first time, says that a majority of Republican primary voters would prefer somebody other than Donald Trump. That’s a big change over the course ever the last six or eight weeks.”

The only baggage Trump had was all the swamp creatures he trusted.

And whose fault is that?

Like almost all of SC’s elected GOP, Mulvaney is a Bush League Republican.

The most important thing to Bush League Republicans is completing the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).

Nice - you deliberately nuke a thread with a wall of text because a discussion isn't going the way you'd like.

I only glanced through it, but a huge number of the things you listed were transient at best. They were reversed or otherwise ineffective because the swamp killed them. And Trump failed to take out the swamp because his appointments were for crap.

And I'm just going to point out that you refused to compile a listing of which Trump appointees you thought were good.

This voice speaking nonsense... he is supposedly educated? I’d guess he just came in on the hay truck from the pit... ignorance is not smart.

Trumps only mistake—trusting the wrong people and thinking the media would give him a fare shake. He will not make that mistake again. That’s what they are afraid of! The levers of power will be swept away from NYT, MSM, FBI, CIA, Lobbyists, Corruptocrats in both Dems & Rino Parties. His biggest foe will be RED CHINA. More and more Americans now see China as the biggest foe. China and her allies are ganging up on the Old Western powers to take us down. They Include the Cartel controlled Mexico, Central America, South America, most of Africa, Russia, Syria, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, Maybe even Canada. The new war will pit the would against the USA and England.

“ And whose fault is that? “

Much of it was McConnell’s fault.

That quote tells me all I need to know about this black-hearted piece of filth.

Perhaps some of it was, but the majority of the blame is Trump's. He nominated those people, and he chose to accept McConnell's recommendations and not challenge them. And, if Trump is elected again in 2024 and is fortunate enough to have a Republican senate, McConnell would again be the majority leader for the first two years of his term. So if that was the problem, there is no reason to expect that a second time in any different.

The other point is that it is only executive branch appointments that were subject to Senate confirmation anyway. In terms of White House staff, including Chief of Staff, etc, the president has absolute discretion in can hire anyone he wants for those positions. For the majority of his Presidency, his Chiefs of Staff were Reince Priebus, John Kelly, and Mulvaney. He's got no one to blame for them but himself

The election law allegation in Georgia is baggage that may or may not bite him.

What the heck is that supposed to mean?   Here in Georgia the cheat was on Video along with a plethora of other evidence.   Our Georgia Secretary of State did sign a consent decree of the court to enable the cheating, unconstitutionally circumventing legislation.

You can go stuff your so called baggage.
