GOP senators are skeptical damaged Trump can win in 2024
The Hill ^ | July 30 2022 | BY ALEXANDER BOLTON

The damaging revelations of the Jan. 6 committee hearings are fueling skepticism among Senate Republicans that former President Trump can win the GOP nomination in 2024 or even run for another term in the White House.

One Republican senator, who requested anonymity to comment on the former president, said the “cascade” of embarrassing details about Trump’s conduct in the weeks before Jan. 6, 2021, and during the attack on the U.S. Capitol will seriously damage his political viability ahead of the 2024 election.

“ A second GOP senator, who also requested anonymity, said the overwhelming majority of Republican senators don’t want Trump to be the party’s nominee for president again. “

This is what Trump gets for endorsing all these guys for reelection instead of fielding primary candidates against them.

"Actual conservatives are skeptical about turning out for another GOPee puppet in 2024"

They MAY turn out in 2028 for Ron DeSantis.

Regardless of Trump’s “damage” the pissant GOPers need to learn to fight for their party and principles.

“ Eff GOP Senators. Traitors.”

Every one of them endorsed by Trump.

In contrast, Desantis threatened the RINOs in the Florida senate that he would ruin their political careers if they didn’t start backing his agenda. They fell in line because they fear him. US Senate Republicans don’t fear Trump - why should they when they could block his wall and still get his endorsement?

You sound like a Losertarian.

Passionate about their politics, but they ain't got the brains God give gophers when it comes to political calculation.

Karl Denninger is like that. Brilliant guy on a whole range of different subjects, but says some of the stupidest Mitt when it comes to national politics.

So sure of their convictions they demand anonymity to state them. Typical milquetoasts.

Republicans who don’t want to do anything about voter fraud and who never wanted Trump to win. Remember all those Republicans who signed a pledge in 2016 that they would endorse whoever won the Primary, but only Huckabee actively endorsed Trump?

US Senate Republicans won’t fear DeSantis, either.

“ A real conservative publication...Yeah, riiiiiight...”

So you’re saying that you believe the GOP Senate supports Trump? Is that what you’re saying? Mitch, Lindsey, Thune, Sasse, Cornyn and the othe GIP Senate leaders support Trump? Yeah, riiiiiight ….

Well a couple of them were forced to retire, the rest will be taken care of in their next election. We know who they are.
