    This is true but at the same time, it isn’t like the Republicans are getting better candidates to replace him. I mean, the bar is so low from what Trump set, the Republicans will just find cretins that can simply step over that bar.

    Tim Cotton as senator, Mike Johnson as speaker and DeSantis aiming for presidency. It’s like, these people aren’t any better, they just aren’t as destructive as Trump was which isn’t saying alot.

      I agree. There’s no path forward that isn’t terrifying. If Trump can’t run because of this decision, then whatever Trump wanna be gets the nomination gets the “not the devil we know” bonus.

      I’d argue they could be more destructive than Trump because they won’t be screwing up their chances to destroy the democracy for stupid reasons.

        Yeah, we’d just be back to seeing how scary Republicans can get when they even remotely have some intelligence but still as crazy. It’d be like the Bush years again or Reagan years or more.
