Who's secretly wishing they had removed Trump when they had the chance? I suppose they really

couldn't have , even if they had a crystal ball. They couldn't just tell the base, "trust us, we know what we're doing. He's going to lose and cause all kinds of disasters if we keep him in office." Not having the chance to see what we're seeing now, they all would have turned on the republicans.

The behavior of Trump and his collaborators in the time they have left may be one of the disasters. It may effect those two Senate runoffs. We can run in the future on the message, "we can never let this happen again." Along with every possible positive change of course.

to how Trump handles himself these next 2 months.

Which we ALL KNOW is going to be an utter and complete shitshow (by the standards of any remotely decent human being I mean).

If they start thinking that IQ45's antics are bringing down their chances of winning those GA seats ... it could get real fun to watch.

And don't forget the more he grifts from GOP donors to prop himself up (and pay off his own debts), the less $$$ there is for Georgia.

And OUR side ain't gonna have any such a drag funding our efforts

think there would be a saturation point. I wouldn't be surprised if both sides had enough money to go into overkill range. But sometimes, overkill is underrated. So maybe throwing a billion or so at it might do the trick. It would certainly be worth it.

tired of his grifting from them. It isn't gaining anything for the repiggies, so they may put a stop to as much of it as they can.

He won't care if he hurts their chances in Georgia. He cares only about himself. Let's see if they try to reign him in so they can have a better chance in Georgia.
