Only Republicans can stop Donald Trump

Trump will be back in 2024. He is not going away. Until Republicans stand up to him he will not stop. Trump loves the power of being president. His family will be involved in the next "power grab" election

that will keep him occupied for years. His kids won’t be involved in politics either. I doubt that very much.

He was an unknown quantity, a TV celebrity and had Twitter to rant on several times every day.
Now everyone knows what they will get and he can't exercise mind control Everyday as before.

Body mass, respiratory, cardiac and neurological issues can all be expected to join together to permanently solve the problem.

Does the "movement" survive without him? Lindsay Graham doesn't seem to think so.

He had Covid-19 so his lungs are weakened.

I wish he would wake up dead one day soon.

And his future political prospects are fast fading wishful thinking. If Republicans like losing as much as Trump seems to, they'll stick with him. It will be a pleasure to kick his ass again.

Trump was believed to be unelectable in 2024 even before the post-Trump level of vindictive craziness developed. The big Republican nightmare is/was that their crazy primary voters could possibly give him the nomination, but then he would inevitably lose the general, taking Republican candidates down with him across the nation.

When we get out the vote, Democrats overwhelm Republicans.

Democratic turnout can stop nearly any Republican.

tRump has no clout, he's just a criminal waiting for the law to catch up. Lara Trump? Ha, what a laugh. As if the name tRump somehow implies something? No way. That entire family is going down down down, at least that's my wish for the future.

I've been predicting the demise of the repug party since Obama's first term, and maybe we're getting closer. I hadn't calculated the gerrymandering and electoral college problem, was just thinking from a pragmatic standpoint, so that explains why I was off in my prediction. But now, tRump has accelerated things so bravo to him.
