'I WILL NEVER FORGET': Trump officially announces war against Republican Party

[tinrobot]

President Donald Trump spent Christmas eve on the golf course and then turned to vengeance mode as he returned to Mar-a-Lago.

Lashing out on Twitter, Trump officially announced his war against the Republican Party. He has been furious that the Republicans in the Senate acknowledged that President-elect Joe Biden won the 2020 election.

"I saved at least 8 Republican Senators, including Mitch, from losing in the last Rigged (for President) Election," tweeted Trump. "Now they (almost all) sit back and watch me fight against a crooked and vicious foe, the Radical Left Democrats. I will NEVER FORGET!"

Trump's promise will be a concern for Republicans up for reelection in 2022. He's already announced that No. 2 Republican in the Senate, John Thune of South Dakota, is first up on his list of people to primary.

Civil war in the GOP? Please proceed.

Maybe he can start a third party and hire Jill Stein as a consultant.

[NBachers]

1. Republicans in Disarray! Republicans in Disarray!

[DFW]

14. I thought THAT term was reserved strictly for us.

I recall seeing an article to that effect a couple of months ago, anyway

[MyOwnPeace]

17. Good point!

DAMN, they're stealing our own plan!!!!
My GAWD, the MSM is gonna' have so many options as to who is f-ing up now they won't know which trail to follow!
Good LAWD, the things they do for a headline!

[coti]

2. WRITE IN TRUMP!! WRITE IN TRUMP!! nt

[634-5789]

3. About that 'third party'...

Most assuredly tRump will splinter off with the rest of the deadhead MAGA crowd. Tis is a total blessing for the Dems. Split the votes and we pick up seats all around!

[wnylib]

51. Not necessarily, especially not

for the House. They are heavily jerry-rigged in favor of Republicans. The battles will not be Dem vs. Republicans. They will be Trumpists vs. non-Trumpists. We won't even be noticed in those districts as the R's suck all the air and media attention with their extreme vs. ultra extreme battles.

Hard to flip a district with all the focus on one party. Hard to hold ones that we have flipped under those circumstances.

This is not an act of vengeance by Trump. This is an ultimatum - with him or against him for his total control of the party. He is wielding the only power he has left now, which is his ability to con and incite fanaticism.

[paleotn]

57. Some districts, you are correct....

but the majority of gerrymandered districts are only +4 to +6 Republican. GA is an anomaly, since the majority of states don't have runoffs in the general for House or Senate seats. Split the right and Dems win far more of these seats.

[wnylib]

59. I hope you're right.

[groundloop]

58. Very true about gerrymandering. GOPers have that down to a science.

I can't recall exact details, but I'd read an article a while back about their gerrymandering efforts. GOPers managed to hold around 60% of state legislature seats on some states while getting less than 50% of votes.

[Volaris]

4. Hahaha what drugs is he on? Mitch? Hahaha.

Yertle really COULD shoot someone on fifth ave and still keep his KY senate seat, at this point.

Trump didnt do fuck all to get him re elected....

[bluestarone]

5. Maybe a good time for impeachment AGAIN?

He's asking for it!

[riversedge]

7. nah. Repugs still would not convict trump.

[leftieNanner]

6. This isn't necessarily a good thing

They will vote for a box of rocks if it has an "R" next to it. Example: Tommy Tubie in Alabama.

Our entire Congress will be made up of Louie Gohmert clones.

[mtnsnake]

16. Oh it's a good thing alright. A very good thing. nt

[wnylib]

46. Maybe it's a good thing if it splits

Republicans enough to make them lose seats. But, if Trump remains popular enough with his followers, it could mean that the jerry-rigged House seats will be filled with far right nut cases. Those are districts that we usually don't win anyway, but if Trump keeps a solid following among them, it would be even harder to flip them. And those nutters would block everything Congress tries to accomplish.

This is not just Trump vengeance. This is Trump keeping a hold on R's, forcing any rational or moderates still in the party to give in to him or be removed. It's like the Tea Party takeover on steroids with Trump's ability to incite the crazies and plant fear of communism.

It depends on how the few rational Republicans respond to this, whether they stand firmly against his cult fascism or give in to it. At this moment in time, they have the ability to make Trump history or to forever become his puppets, depending on how they respond to this either-or ultimatum that Trump is issuing.

[HUAJIAO]

32. That's my concern.

[mountain grammy]

52. Another example, Lauren Boebert, CO 3rd district

a Qanon nutcase won in a district that's 65% urban.. Grand Junction, Aspen.. she primaried longtimer republican Scott Tipton, conservative but not crazy. Won her primary and the seat. Democrats had a weak candidate. We've got to do better in 2022. Colorado is blue statewide, but trumpers are strong here too.

[reACTIONary]

55. Its a good thing in states....

.... that are on the edge, like GA. A Trump loony tune primaries Kemp and the deplorables win him the primary. But he's too much for the respectables, and loses in the general.

In AL you just end up with the deplorable winning.

[Siwsan]

8. Let me get this straight - trump* saved the asses of others but couldn't save himself?

Ok............

[lilmamba]

47. Because only the top of the ticket for presidential election

Was rigged. Duh!!!

[Siwsan]

48. I honestly didn't realize that we were so clever!!

[Mr.Bill]

54. We aren't.

We completely forgot to rig enough Senate and House elections.

[rpannier]

60. Don't forget NH in 2016

We bused in all those people from MA who voted for Clinton and Hassan, but for some reason all these illegal bused in voters forgot to vote for the Democrats in the state elections (Gov. House and Senate)

[calguy]

9. Hopefully he seeks revenge

by doing his best to sabotage the Georgia run offs. C'mon cigars, America is counting on you.

[11 Bravo]

10. A circular firing squad certainly works for me.

[Thekaspervote]

11. IF they were smart about it, they would look at his endorsements from 16 forward, cause not

Many of the candidates he backed won!

[caraher]

12. Yes!

I hear some folks say sane Republicans should form a third party, but the better and more realistic scenario is for Trump to form his own party. It wouldn't be hard - tell him he's bigger than the Republican party and that they stabbed him in the back. As long as he can have rallies and collect money from his marks he should be happy.

[RAB910]

13. Nice Christmas message Donald

[flibbitygiblets]

39. LOL 🤣🤣🤣

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a YOU WILL RUE THE DAY YOU EVER CROSSED ME, SCUMBAGS

[DFW]

15. The G O P vs. the N C P

(Nut Case Party)

Morituri te saludant!

[grumpyduck]

30. I think the gladiators had more sense that most of these people.

[DFW]

49. Probably so

When their time was up, at least they faced the facts staring them in the face.

[Captain Zero]

35. In case anybody want the Latin:

Those about to Die, salute you !

[DFW]

53. Probably should include the background

It‘s what the gladiators in the arena were supposed to say to greet the emperor or whatever highest ranking official was attending the impending bloodbath.

[grumpyduck]

18. I dunno, I think donnie

is setting himself up for a rude awakening when he gets out of office and realizes the GOP, one of the two major parties in the nation, has a shitload more power than he realizes. He could be in for a major ass-reaming when they no longer need him.

[stillcool]

23. he's already a has-been...

but he's still got some hangers-on holding his hand till his last gasp as President. It's hard to believe the guy is 70+ years old. Maybe his kids will take care of him.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

19. Boohoo

[miyazaki]

20. Ya we'll never forget either. You're dog meat pal.

[librechik]

21. He can't primary anybody while he's in jail, or in hiding in Saudi Arabia

too bad this country doesn't work right with garbage in the gears

[Generic Brad]

22. How did he save them in a rigged election, pray tell?

Inquiring minds want to know.

[Escurumbele]

28. Don't pay attention to that, he always thinks he won on anything that comes accrues his face

He is delusional...

[smirkymonkey]

29. Yeah, he's not the sharpest tool in the woodshed.

[Dave in VA]

24. Hey republicons...

sow to the wind and reap a whirlwind!

Stupid, stupid, stupid!

BTW, suicide isn't as painless as they say.

[mudstump]

25. I hope he completely consumes them until there is nothing left.

[Evolve Dammit]

26. This is the end result of a 73 year learning punishment is all-dominant very early

[Escurumbele]

27. That is a warning to the bunch of compromised republicans

They must be by the shredder as we type here at DU, getting rid of all the proof they know will land them in jail.

Donny, we support you in this fight against the repubs, go ahead, trash them all which is what they deserve, don't let them get away with all you have done for them (Russian money, and who knows what), send them to jail if you can...it may be the only thing we will support you on, but it is a good cause.

[LymphocyteLover]

31. Excellent! Let's do this!

[orangecrush]

33. ROTFLMAO

[keithbvadu2]

34. "...Rigged (for President) Election,"

"...Rigged (for President) Election,"

Quite complex!

[Pantagruel]

36. The dummy

will probably now try to run as a Democrat.

Huge ego -tiny brain- irrational behavior.

[musclecar6]

37. In less than 1 month

The loudmouth Orange jerk off will be a has been with no power and nobody but the dwindling group of MAGA morons will GAF WHAT HE HAS TO SAY. Hallelujah.

[Initech]

38. All right, it's your funeral, Custer.

[bucolic_frolic]

40. Trump thinks he's a durable player now

I think he's in for a rude awakening

[panfluteman]

41. Got News For You: Trump Never Really Was a Republican

He just saw the Republicans as a party that was ripe for takeover, and which could be used as a stepping stone for taking over American democracy. And when the Republicans buckled and he didn't get his way,then all of a sudden they're the Antichrist. Grow up, Donnie! Get a life!

[bluestateboomer]

42. How did we manage it?

How did we manage to rig the pResidents defeat and utterly fail to beat those 8 senators?

[Roc2020]

43. Classic. Republicans danced with the Devil guess what

the Devil leads. And now the Devil wants his pound of flesh from the GOP. Absolutely spectacular

[roamer65]

44. 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

😈

[AllyCat]

45. Merry Christmas everyone!

The gift that keeps on giving but maybe in our favor for once.

[lonely bird]

50. Civil war within the GOP is all well and good but...

Unfortunately, this will spill over the entire country. The sooner Trump is tried and convicted for his tax issues the better off we will be. This guy is flat out dangerous.

[ansible]

62. I doubt a US president will ever be convicted and go to prison

Even with someone like Trump

[2naSalit]

56. Yeah, and WE will never forget too!

So STFU, Donny.

[bdamomma]

61. We will

never forget you for killing Americans and destroying peoples lives with your carelessness, ignorance and lies.

[Cha]

63. Hey Fucker trump.. your GD EGO, Stupidity,

Mean Assspirit, & VinDICtiveness LOST you the Election.
