What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

Dare I say it, it does look like they are finally looking to move on: They have their young new star with his pretty wife and photogenic family. He is spouting the requisite GQP hate and insanity (Florida was the voice of sanity during Covid. Mwhahahahahaha). As I mentioned prior. Really towing the GQP line. The next generation of trump.

I don't know much about his politics prior to the rise of GQP so I don't know if he is a believer or simply spouting what they want to hear. But yeah, it's looking like trump's star is begining to fade. But powerful enough to really do damage to the Republican Party.

MGT and all his letchers were never really a viable option for GOP voters. They know that they would get creamed in any real debate as presidential candidates. Now they have their option. Trump is already bashing him but now it's looking like "OK gramps, calm down" for many. But trump's ... fans will of course stay and refuse to vote for anyone but him. Which is basically (un)civil war. And as the GQP/GOP eats itself alive, the Dems need to shape up and stop eating THEMSELVES alive. And probably get a stronger, more vocal and vibrant candidate for 2024

This. No free lunch for the GQP. They actively supported lunatics who, via the FUD they constantly spewed, caused deaths due to Covid that could readily have been prevented via a vaccine. It's a party with rapturite murderers at the helm. Why else the strong support by the likes of Pompeo for moving the US embassy to Jerusalem, a completely unnecessary thing? To accelerate the end times.

That segment of the GQP needs to go and hopefully keep the GQP out of positions of influence for a decade or so. TFG vs. DeAthsentence will hopefully be a WWE-class throwdown lasting for months. And, should the GQP nominate someone else, hopefully TFG start up his own Conservative/National Socialist/Whatever party and draw more votes away.

Yeah. I have said this many times previously. The GOP had perfect outs immediately after Jan 6 domestic terrorism/insurrection action (Let's be honest here). But they didn't take it and I cannot understand why.

The GOP had the opportunity to denounce trump and his cronies in the party and his ... fans. They absolutely would have lost all his fanbase and it would have serious impact on the party in the midterms. But even in 2020 everyone knew the global markets were dropping. That we were heading for a period of stagnation globally. At best! I couldn't understand why they didn't look at the big picture. Not 2022 but at 2024 or maybe 2026/2028. They would have been wiped out in the 2022 midterms. We all know that the global economy is going to suck for the next couple of years at least. Let's just say 2 years. NOW the newly invigorated GOP of 2024 comes to the rescue. The global economy beginning to turn. Devoid of trump, his cronies and ... fans (Not slagged off or frowned upon. Simply never mentioned again). Here you had the opportunity to say "Look what the Dems did in 2020-2024. We're back, baby!". Basically come riding in on a big white horse. With their "new" image and new younger leader. Back to core GOP values. The crazies back in their box.

Yes, they would have lost 2022. But they would still have had enough to stir sh*t. It doesn't matter how much Biden got done or not between 2020-2024, if the GOP came back with a vibrant new candidate, just as the economy is turning then they could romp home as saviours.

TLDR: They should have taken the hit immediately after 2020 as the world economy was going to crap and been in a position to fingerpoint at the global economy between 2020 and 2024 and say "Look? Nothing to do with us". That thread on YLYL/political is basically just them doing that anyway... (Their mantra is "He specifically ruined the economy while eating ice-cream and..... the irony..... is inappropriate with children" .... REAL classy and not the least bit ironic)
