Republicans Reportedly Have "No Idea" about Trump's Agenda for a Second Term

From the article:

Republicans on Capitol Hill don’t know what Donald Trump will do with a second term. Reports over the Fourth of July weekend claimed the GOP has “no idea” what the President’s agenda could be.


Trump twice failed to explain what his second term agenda will be in recent interviews with friendly news outlets – a fact that has reportedly worried senior Republicans.

This article could also be titled "Republicans have no ideas". Like the "repeal and replace" nonsense that was heard after the ACA was passed.

The GOP has no ideas.

his whole strategy is based on attack politics, something conserves are supposedly "tired" of. Of course, what they're tired of is being criticized themselves for their own negative qualities while meanwhile engaging is the lowest forms of shit slinging.

Anybody with "ideas" has been culled from that herd years ago. There are a few Repub senators left who used have cred as "moderates" but they've been largely sidelined by Trumpists and cowed into submission.

Vote Blue, no matter who.

It's identical to the first term: to Make America Great Again!

Do they not even read his literature?

Trump would crown himself king and congress would no longer be relevant.

You'd think these people would have a clue by now! Trump HAS no agenda, other than enriching himself and his rich pals.

The Republicans are a parody of themselves at this point. All they EVER care about is cutting taxes for the rich. That's it - that is their ONE agenda item.

seriously, if donnie gets re-elected, there's no way four more years of this crap passes without genocide.

well, by which i mean killing a lot more people than they're already killing, what with the unnecessary covid-19 deaths and the inhumane treatment of asylum-seekers and the encouragement of bigoted violence and so on....

In my view, his greed leads him to do things, and when his ideas fail, he reacts by blaming others.

And finish the job.

That and perhaps start a civil war. Or explain why we're in a deep depression and how it was all Obama and Biden's fault.

That is what I expect.

I don't say anyone has specific plans all laid out, just that is how it will work out.
