What the GOP senators don't realize yet, is that donny promised them he won't start a 3rd party if they acquit. So they'll acquit under his bullying, BUT, dickhead is gonna start a 3rd party anyway. He needs the attention, and the chaos.
The truth is, their future would be way better off if they convict and ban him from holding office. those supposed maga voters will just line up on the right come election time anyway!

(9,998 posts)He isn't going to want to invest a dime in doing something like that.
He's going to run a full blown operation WITHIN the repub party. It's going to be like the Tea Party on Steroids.
He'll support and campaign for the candidates he wants, and some of them will win. Perhaps not all, but enough that he maintains a grip over the party, and has the power he can't live without.
That is my prediction. He will stand by the party, as they stood by him. He'll attack the repubs he wants to attack, and the party will go along with it. They'll basically be HIS PARTY, just not 100%.

(19,905 posts)chance they had to start fighting back was to convict him in this trial, and then bar him from running again, but they were too cowardly. They will now suffer the consequences.
