With Donald Trump facing felony charges over his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, the former president is flooding the airwaves and his social media platform with distortions, misinformation and unfounded conspiracy theories about his defeat.

    They have to win with trump here and they know it.

    They cannot win with Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump and they know it.

    If he loses he’ll be too old next time around and the demographics are already shifting.

    They can counteract that for at least 4-8 years simply by getting a better candidate than Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump.

    They know he’ll run and split the vote if they don’t give it to him anyway…

    They know they will lose with Loser Trump anyway. If they dumped him they would be in much better shape for 2028. But I think if they had someone besides Loser Trump they would have an actual chance to win in 2024.

      They have no choice. If they don’t run him they split the ticket. If they do he def loses.
      Let’s say they dump trump and anoint desamtis or anyone. Trump will run third party and the gop loses all those voters forever.

      I don’t think people quite realize how much the tail is wagging the dog in the GOP right now. There is no way they “dump trump” and still remain a party that can win.

        The GOP will lose in 2024 anyway. Loser Trump is their least likely candidate to win the general election because he is the most disliked politician in the country. All their voters will be back in 2028, saying they never really liked Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump.

          Again I think u underestimate how 100% on trump and no one else many of his voters are.
          The GOP can afford to lose an election. They cannot afford to lose committed trump voters.

            They will lose the election in 2024 with Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump. In 2028, there will not be any committed trump voters. He will be in prison or will have kicked the bucket.
