As Rump gets nuttier and hemorrhages voters

[tavernier]

do you think republicans will finally remove him and put their bets on Pence having a better chance to win the election? I think that has always been a possible alternate plan for them, but they hoped they could contain the nutter until November.

1. Pence would never win...nt

[tavernier]

5. I don't think so either,

but as their train goes off the rails some republican candidates might think it a good strategy for their own elections.

2. Or boot both of them

And pull someone else out of the hat.

[tavernier]

6. That might be the Romney plan.

7. I was going to mention Romney

But the MAGAts would go berserk. Romney voted to expel him and that is against their religion (such as it is).

3. Nope.

I don't think so. They are heavily invested in him because their party is on the verge of obsolescence in more way than one and they are desperate to remain in power irregardless of their backwards policies, catering to vested interests, obstructionism, and the list goes on. They can't and won't really be able to adapt to a rapidly accelerating, technological paradigm that is in progress now and we need to progress in order to survive and adapt to the host of challenges we face. It is vital.

They no longer even represent a real opposition party, other than the fact that they oppose everything. There was a time when the Democrats and Republicans were counterparts in our political scheme and now the GOP has become a breakaway oddity and a detriment to the country overall.

They have become political dinosaurs that have seen the a big ball of fire in the sky. The demographics alone spell the end of their current form of deception-based governance and corruption.

It seems that Trump is important to them in that regard because he can and will act in the most illegal and contemptuous manner to strong-arm the country into a compromising position. All those rats in the corner figure this obese, orange rat may be able to go for the throat of America and rip open the carotid artery of Lady Liberty to take her out and give them free reign as any regime would demand. The complicit behavior makes sense.

4. Or simply the McConnell strategy ...

Grab as much money as you can stuff in your pockets before it all blows up?

8. +1. They are looting everything they can on their way out

[Aristus]

9. How many times do I have to say this? The Republicans will NEVER get rid of Trump.

He is the end-result of forty years of effort on their part to place in office an utter imbecile who brings the entire framework of American governance collapsing to the ground and into the cellar hole.

They've been dreaming of this moment for decades; the guns, the tear gas, the innocent minorities murdered by unaccountable cops, every tradition of freedom and civil liberty that decent people treasure, threatened by thugs in suits and thugs in camo and body armor.

They will NEVER get rid of Trump...

[SoonerPride]

10. Nope. They are welded to this ship and when he sinks they go down too.

They will not abandon this titanic disaster no matter how much water it takes on.
