    Donald should drop out now to see if dropping out second puts the GOP back in the running.

      Christ. How much you wanna bet that the GOP is going to try and push him out like the Dems did with Biden, but unlike Biden, Trump decides to turn on them and rip the party apart.

        One of the R core strengths is falling in line. Not a chance they even whisper about ditching Trump.

        Stop, you’re making me hard!

        It won’t happen though. Trump has the GOP over a barrel and they both know it. Him splitting the vote and causing both to lose would only stroke his ego.

        If Trump were to make his own party, would be be called the MAGA Party?

          He would name it after himself.

            And there would be 10 levels of membership you could buy into.

              Sounds like Scientology.

                Comparing scientology to trumpology… scientology would look like DWB is running it vs whatever the fuck the turnip would come up with.

        Dems were genuinely disappointed and embarrassed by Biden.

        Repubs have deified Trump.

        I will put enormous sums on him riding through to the general.

        The thing is in the wake of the 2022 elections, it seemed briefly like the GOP might actually grow a pair and throw the Donald under the bus for screwing up what they thought should have been a cakewalk. And they came back, even though he lost in 2020, his taint spoiled 2022, but they hope that he will take it in 2024.

        If he loses yet again, then I imagine GOP will finally just start expelling Trump and his minions hard.

          Hard to expel folks that are the foundation of your party. Trump isn’t an outlier, he’s the crux of the movement. People literally worship him, like some kind of Florida Pharaoh. He can’t be removed. He’s grafted to the party’s soul.

        Yeah trump ain’t gonna stop running since it’s the only thing keeping him out of prison. He’s literally only running to serve himself.

      He was literally just made the official republican nominee this weekend wasn’t he? I think that ship may have sailed. maybe that’s why they waited until now for Biden to drop out. Trap him in the race with a much younger and much more charismatic opponent

        If we can humiliate Donald with a Harris landslide, then I guess it’s okay if he stays for that.
