No trump will make sure that does not happen. Never has a pol been such a drag on his own political party.
Eh, he's a jerk, sure, but the modern Republican Party was dead in the water before Trump came along, and if it doesn't follow his lead, it's still terminal and dying, already. I won't miss what the post-Reagan Repub neocon era was, because I've been praying for a civil version of what Trump tries to be for 30 years. I knew my people were abandoned without a party years ago.
The Democrats already do a better job for most global corporate donors than what the establishment Republicans claim to be trying to provide. Citizens United was your death warrant, and the establishment idiot McCain got it (R)olling. If you clowns don't take advantage of the Trump boost by getting in line behind him this election, many of his faithful go away after '24, and you establishment Pubs are OVER. Just out-numbered losers left hoping the carcass doesn't get picked clean too rapidly, so y'all can limp along to your bitter ends in peace. You myopic fools will have ended your own era trying to recapture 2002, instead of adapting reasonably to "(R) + Trump", like a Cruz or Rubio. Fools.
Most of the various post-2018 swing state election law changes that kept Trump from 270 in 2020 remain in place. Some "antique" blue county voter rolls have been purged, yes, but not much else has changed. The Republicans will never face a candidate as weak as FJB again.
Yes, the Democrats sat on all this petty legal Lawfare puffery until the build-up to the '24 election because they knew that the unjust, ridiculous persecution of Trump for smear value would also elevate him in Primary season above other candidates that would smoke Joe and Kammie in a General. Yes, I know they wanted to "Primary us" with Trump, and I resent the ease with which they've used media to manipulate the electorate again. And yes, I resent the hell out of them for ultimately steering OUR primary. But that's tough. Quit pouting. You need too be prepared to just shut up and row the boat, I guess. Otherwise, you're little more than a self-defeating bitch, are you ?
Look, I wanted DeSantis. Still do. If these fools were to somehow lock Trump up, we run DeSantis and he wins, then RDS gets Orange Bastard out of jail to be a celebrity moaner and nothing more again, and finally rips the leading Democrats to shreds for ALL of it in the courts over the next 8 years like it's a side job - well, that's the dream scenario, sure. It isn't going to happen.
These Democrat fools actually have nothing but 91 counts of a Lawfare smear job on multiple fronts, being forwarded by, frankly, inept dipshytes elected by the blue morons that deserve them. It's going to be Trump v Somebody, because 'Pubs won't hijack their own Convention, and it would send all the Trump voters home to pout if they did.
WAKE THE HELL UP. You've lost that battle. Better try to win the larger war, while Republicans actually have a chance. In 2024, trying once again to sandbag and wait out Trump like 2020 is going to be a suicide pact for you goofs. Look what the Demarxists have done in 3 years, even while trying to win again with a puppet incumbent. Don't doubt it.
