GOP Worries Trump Is Tanking His Re-Election
April 10, 2020 at 9:30 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

“Republicans are increasingly concerned not only about President Trump’s daily briefings but also his broader plan to ease the nation out of the virus crisis and back to work. This concern is acute — and spreading,” Axios reports.

“Trump can easily address the briefing worries by doing fewer, but the lackluster bounce-back planning is what worries Republicans most.”

“Some think he has only weeks to figure it out. The consequences of failure would be a November defeat, some warn.”

1. I think they are more worried about their own re-election than trumps.

[Wounded Bear]

5. Ab-so-fucking-lutely!!!

As much as they "seem" to care about Trump, he is just the coattails they want to ride to maintain power.

With any luck and some hard work on our part, Trump will crash and burn and take the Repub party with him.

[GemDigger]

8. They know that without the idiot at the helm

that everything they have gotten pushed through is because he is an idiot and signed whatever was put in front of his face as long as they left him alone to do his own destruction they are fine with that.

21. Wrecking crew has free reign, Trump loves chaos, eye poking and sticking it...

to the "experts." He claims to be so smart, but he could not name 40 state capitols. I'd love to see him be tested on all sorts of common knowledge a grade schooler would know.

[GemDigger]

24. Wrecking crew is a good name for that bunch.

He doubt he can even name the capital of NY or FL. I would love to see the results of an IQ test.

[PCIntern]

35. Didn't you know?

He has the highest IQ of anyone who was ever President. Maybe Newton, Einstein, and Feynman had higher measured IQ’s but The Great One, blessed be he, is immeasurably Street-smart.

[GemDigger]

38. Gutter smart maybe, street smart......doubtful.

[PCIntern]

39. I'm just " quoting him. Nt

[MontanaMama]

12. +1

Self centered assholes.

[dalton99a]

2. Hang Trump, the 17,000 deaths, and this Great Depression around their necks

every goddamn one of them

[uponit7771]

3. Wait till unemployment stays at 20 to 25% for two months. People will start asking why

[empedocles]

34. Yes

[Claustrum]

4. How many reports that they are worried about him now?

We see these articles weekly. When the time comes, they will vote for him. They don't stand up to him even if they are worried and then Trump gets worst and worst. Worrying behind the scene does nothing. Call him out and put the check and balance on him or shut up.

[SamKnause]

6. The Republican Party is dead.

Call it what it is, "The Party of Trump".

[NutmegYankee]

15. Trumpzis.

[kentuck]

7. Translated: They are worried he is going to tank their election.

They are more worried about maintaining power than the lives of the American people.

That should be an automatic disqualifier.

[thucythucy]

9. Shouldn't they be worried that he's tanking the country?

Shouldn't they be worried that he might actually win re-election (or successfully steal it) and what this will do to what's left of our democracy?

Fuck them being "worried." I for one am terrified about the prospects of another four weeks, let alone another four years of this monstrosity.

[crickets]

25. Yes, thank you. nt

[Hermit-The-Prog]

32. GOP values the country only so much as it enriches and impowers them.

If the country does not reward them, they will happily assist in its destruction. See 2016 - 2020.

[Vogon_Glory]

10. Right-wing ladies and gentlemen: you built that

Don’t expect me to play Kate Shelley for your impending train-wreck.

I hope your party and your presidential candidate lose BIGLY!

[MANative]

11. Please proceed... Nt

[shockey80]

13. Fuck you GOP, you are cowards.

Turtle face must be worried about losing the Senate.

[Mc Mike]

14. Like he's tanked everything else he's ever done in his life, always.

Including, incidentally, his current presidency.

[greenjar_01]

16. "lackluster bounceback planning"

Trump's not really a "planner" or a "doer." He's more of a "sayer" and a "spewer."

[SMC22307]

17. I think the seriously big money people are going to start turning on him...

and when they do, game over. I'm talking about the WSJ crew, the ones he called "Fake News." And the big money pro/college sports owners and coaches. I saw a poll last night where something like 60- or 70 percent of Americans won't attend games until there's a vaccine. And the property owners, the ones losing out on mortgages and rents because, well, workers aren't working.

Trump's mismanagement needs to be hung around his neck. His disregard for our healthcare workers, first responders and service workers, especially. And his complete lack of empathy over the loss of life. Rick Wilson's/George Conway's Lincoln Project is going for the jugular and I truly hope its message gets through to some voters.

[ProfessorGAC]

18. Thoughts & Prayers

Or, not!

[Baked Potato]

19. If Trump wasn't worried about prison he would've quit already.

[Tom Rinaldo]

20. "The consequences of failure would be a November defeat, some warn." That's unfortunately secondary

The consequence of that failure is tens of thousands, if not a hundred thousand or more, Americans needlessly dying. This is bigger than losing an election.

[demtenjeep]

22. oh boo hoo

you knew he was a jackass (ahm Graham) when you elected AND found him not guilty

you bought him you keep him

[Cha]

23. Well trump is his own worst enemy.. why would this

be any different?

[TeamPooka]

26. Funny thing about a Golem, it always turns on its creators.

[OAITW r.2.0]

27. Better book a cruise to Russia. ASAP.

We are coming after you, too.

[Hoyt]

28. Won't be surprised if they force him out.

[Indykatie]

29. Trump Hasn't Figured Out that Massive Ratings for his Briefings Don't Meany Massive Approval Ratings

The more folks see of him up close and personal the more they realize he's insane. I'd actually like him to do 2 briefings a day and for all channels to carry the bizarre episodes.

[liberalmuse]

30. Americans are dying and this is what they worry about.

What a craven bunch of degenerates. Let's vote all of them out, bury the GOP once and for all, salt the ground, and may they never, ever rise again as god is my witness.

[Demovictory9]

31. yes..

[canetoad]

33. Interesting use of the word 'tanking'

Which I've always understood to mean throwing away, deliberately, your chance of winning.

Trump's hubris was always going to be his downfall; he worried me more as his term in office progressed and he started to relish the power POTUS has. Given the legal strife he will face at the end of his term, I can't see him 'tanking' deliberately. More a final, desperate effort to impose his 'strong-man' will on the US.

It won't end well for Trump. Joe Biden will be President Elect come November and Trump will do everything available with his final shreds of lame duck power to destroy a country that wouldn't bend to his obviously superior power and intellect.

You guys don't need this now or at any other time. Hope you and yours are doing well and hunkering down.

Love ya Sis.

[DFW]

36. It will take more than Trump losing the election to get Trump out of there

Just ask Hillary Clinton.

To defeat Trump in the election to the point where even Republicans have to acknowledge that he lost, Biden will have to win overwhelmingly to overcome Republican electoral fraud.

Under that umbrella, I include the whole package: suppression of voting rights, discarding and hiding voter registrations, Republican programming of electorinic voting machines, foreign hacking of the electoral process at any stage, destruction of Democratic paper ballots, curtailing of mail, absentee, and advance voting opportunities, and elimination of polling places in cities with large Democratic precincts.

My goal (and I know how utopian this is) would be twofold: a mandatory ten year minimum jail sentence for any interference in the electoral process, including the Republican sleazebags who register people to vote and then dump the registrations in the nearest garbage dump, as was filmed last time. A guaranteed ten years behind bars might discourage some of that.

The second part of my goal is simple: a law, affecting the whole country, saying simply that if you are a citizen of the United States, you are registered to vote on your eighteenth borthday. Period.

Once we get that done, then comes part three: move election day from the first Tuesday of November to the first Sunday of November. If that takes a Constitutional Amendment, then, let's get started!

[beachbumbob]

37. lol, so how big is the trump anchor all the GOP'ers tied themselves to? Big enough to sink

their party in November

[Mossfern]

40. Trump doesn't want to win

If he does, then he'll be responsible for cleaning up his own mess.
He most likely won't mind leaving it to a Democratic administration and taunt them because of it.

He's taking a shit on the world and demanding that someone else clean it up. That's what entitled people do.
