“ How much worse could’ve things possibly gotten?” (for Trump if he had shutdown Mueller)
——————————-
The senate and house would have impeached and removed him from office. Period. No more Trump.
Your memory of that period of time is very narrow.
Your other post showing the states and Dems having 257 electorates without effort is accurate. Neither Trump or DeSantis will win the general especially against Robert Kennedy who will win the dem nomination.
I really wish you would step back and realize that the problem is the house and senate are NOT MAGA or CONSERVATIVE regardless of who is president. They have proven that repeatedly.
Trump couldn’t make them more conservative. DeSantis won’t make them more conservative nor will he enthuse the voters. If voters aren’t pressuring Congress, the uniparty thrives.
The country isn't conservative.
We lie to ourselves, telling us otherwise, but election results simply do not demonstrate this.
Abortion rights are popular. Government spending is popular. Anything that smacks of intolerance is frowned upon.
The only conservative advances in the past thirty years have been an expansion of gun rights.
People are tiring of wokeness and trans issues but don't have the stomach for the fight.
Sure, we'll have pockets of solid-red conservatism throughout the country but in the battleground states we need to reclaim, solid-red conservatives are simply not electable.
Trump is the most socially liberal president since Nixon but his demeanor and scandals turn off swaths of voters.
Trump will lose in 2024. DeSantis would probably lose as well. The Democrats will sweep the election and then move fast to pack the courts and roll back every conservative advance that has been made, particularly when it comes to 2A rights.
Short of civil war, the future will likely require a re-implementation of states rights in order for us to continue as a union. Red states get to be red, blue states get to be blue, --if the liberals will let us.
