Trump pulling 59% at CPAC continues to show his hold on the GOP is definitely slipping. Desantis within 30 points of a former President at this stage is a good sign for his chances.

I think you have to account for the fact that the bill of speakers, weighted heavily pro-Trump skews this at least a bit, so actual numbers by be closer to, or just below 50%, but the important thing is his grip is slowly slipping. How his endorsees do in mid terms will be a huge indicator of where he truly stands. |

If DeSantis has the balls to challenge Trump in the primary, he'll be vanquished pretty quickly. My guess is nobody from the right is willing to run and face the prospect of having their political career ended at a Trump rally. Any challenge will come from the never-Trump side and that won't go very far. If it's someone like Liz Cheney I expect the party will rig things so she can't debate and won't appear on many ballots.

Yeah, Trump's not going to allow someone to upstage him. I think DeSantis is positioning himself for 2028 or VP or in the event that Trump dies. I don't think he's stupid enough to challenge Trump head on. SI

It's amazing how much power Trump has. Everyone in his party just waiting for him to either die or announce his political intentions going forward. For him to essentially grant or deny them permission regarding their own lives and careers.
How in this world did this happen. |

So if the US has cut off access to Russia's banks, does that mean Trump's ATM card doesn't work now?

If you wanna read some cringe, a local 1/6 insurgent killed himself recently and the funeral log book is interesting for sure.

It seems like the family wrote the obituary. They raised a terrorist and you can clearly see where he got his values from. You reap what you sow.

Louie Gohmert, one of the lowest of the low in the Republican party, gave up his safe House seat to run for Texas AG. He finished 4th in a 4 man field, which I hope brings a fitting end to his political career:

The Jan 6 select committee says its evidence has shown that then-president trump and his campaign tried to illegally obstruct Congress' counting of electoral votes and "engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States."

No. He just completely polarized the country into two and caused an armed insurrection of our Capitol. Ho hum what a guy.

He didn't need to, he was willing to open doors for them and kiss their feet, not fight them. Who wants to fight the people offering up hand jobs and golden showers?

Of course not because we do still have checks and balances and even in his admin there was rationality. But that's not the point, you need to be a balanced, rational leader that thinks of consequences that come from emotions and/or flippant comments like this. Unlike others I don't just attack the messenger for the sake of hating Trump, I am attacking the message, which given the severity of the situation, is pretty fucking stupid. It shows he continues to either not grasp, or not care about the reality beyond Trump world and the adulation he receives there. |

No matter how hard Bill Barr works to clean up his reputation, this is the most important fact. He says he'll vote for Trump in 2024.

Maybe I'm wrong/glossing over our history (certainly not within the past 100 years or so), but I just don't think our political process was ever tested in the way it is now with someone like Trump as president. Meaning, there's never been someone who has shown himself to be this unfit continuing to run for office to where partisans have ever had to make this hard choice. Closest would be Nixon if he had decided to run again, I guess.
It's always been assumed you vote for your party, because that's your identity. If you're a Republican voting for a Democrat, or vice versa, are you still aligned with that party? Until now, there's always been someone who objectively you could vote for, even if you didn't agree or personally like them. They weren't a danger to the country. Now, for the general public, it's much easier to switch but with social media and so many actively engaged people, there's a not insignificant portion of the population who are functionally out-there partisans for whom the party affiliation matters over all. And then you add in the Trumpers who would follow him regardless of party affiliation, and it's turning into a potentially lethal cocktail.

If you were McConnell/McCarthy/Pence/Barr/etc. and you wanted to get rid of Trump (I'm not sure if they do or not), isn't the play to act all nice to him now and then take out the knives after the mid-terms?

There definitely has to be some long-term play from all of the behind-the-scenes people who supposedly want him gone ASAP. The wild card, I guess, is finding a suitable replacement without losing the engagement of his cult. It seems that's Desantis right now, what with all of his faux-performance art demonstrations in front of the media.

The point being, someone that thinks like him, shouldn't have nuclear codes, whether he used them or not, and that applies to a couple of other world leaders too. No need to exercise mental gymnastics over it, dude does not have the emotional stability or the critical thinking skills needed to run a country, where he cannot just steamroll over anything he doesn't like, the way he did in the business world. And I have voted more republican than democrat in my life, but will never vote republican again until they move past him. |
