GOP Strategist Predicts What Will Become Of The GOP If Donald Trump Isn't Convicted

Republican strategist Sarah Longwell warned Thursday that Donald Trump will control the GOP for the next decade if Senate Republicans don’t vote to convict the former president for inciting the U.S. Capitol riot.

Longwell, who founded the Republican Voters Against Trump group that before the election released ads featuring rank-and-file members explaining why they ditched the party, told CNN’s Don Lemon that GOP lawmakers should “get past” their fear of Trump because “this impeachment vote is their off-ramp.”

“This is their best chance to put a stake through Donald Trump’s political future,” she said. “If they don’t take it, Donald Trump is going to control this party for the next 10 years.”

I am sure trump has dirt on some of them, or Putin does, and I think most of them have been part of trumps criminal activities while he was in office.

I think some investigations into why they are all afraid of trump is warranted. I also think Democrats should open up that investigation into Mitch and his wife that trump put a stop on. I am sure there will be a lot of low level people who would be more than willing to start talking, and pointing pointing fingers, in order to avoid a long vacation in prison!

Probably not even four. The man's physical condition is a disaster.

I really don’t think he will be the nominee in 2024.

We don’t see anything happening because everyone is focused on the Senate trial. Just wait til that is over, whichever way it goes. It won’t be pretty.
