"SNIP......

Politico: “According to three people familiar with the planning, Trump will soon begin vetting candidates at Mar-a-Lago who are eager to fulfill his promise to exact vengeance upon incumbent Republicans who’ve scorned him, and to ensure every open GOP seat in the 2022 midterms has a MAGA-approved contender vying for it.”

“Trump already has received dozens of requests from prospective candidates seeking to introduce themselves and nab his endorsement, and formal meetings with them could begin as early as March. Now that Trump has survived his second Senate impeachment trial, he has shifted his focus to post-presidential activism — a venture mostly bankrolled by his new leadership PAC, Save America, which had $31 million in its coffers at the start of this month.”

“Earlier this week, Trump met with his former campaign manager Brad Parscale to discuss online fundraising components to support his efforts and how he can utilize social media despite his ban from popular websites like Twitter.”

1. Cool. Bring the popcorn.

5. And hot at the same time.

2. You knew he was a snake when you took him in.

[Maru Kitteh]

8. BOOM!

Everything that miserable fucker did was projection. It's the only thing he's good at.

3. I doubt he will find many that have any qualifications beyond a MAGA hat but...

...as we see with MTGreene and Boebert, some of these more remote districts really are loaded with whackadoodle voters who will vote for any crazy thing or person. Will be interesting to see how McConnell et. al. of the old guard Repub establishment reacts to this. But the more they waste money and energy on fighting each other, the better I like it. Bring the popcorn indeed and let James Carville call the play by play, please!

4. OK then

"and to ensure every open GOP seat in the 2022 midterms has a MAGA-approved contender vying for it.”

This has been his goal since he lost the election, and was unable to lie his way into another term with all his "election fraud" BS. Any of the republicans who think he will "help" the party win seats is dumber than a box of rocks! He is seeking vengeance against the whole party and the statement above to ensure his "approved" idiots are there to run against all other republicans proves that.

This is going to be full out "war" for trump. He knows he won't win that many seats, but it's not really about winning, only destroying those who he holds responsible for not helping him spread the lies with him!

Democrats need to find some really good candidates to run in 2022 to increase their numbers in the House and Senate.

7. the dark triad of mental disorder

Narcissism
Machiavellianism
Psychopathy

Vengeance for perceived slights the first order of business for someone like Trump.

It has always been this way.

He feels no boundaries.

He must be controlled by external pressures from something more powerful. (The courts.)

Better hurry, prosecutors!

[leftieNanner]

9. "Better Hurry Prosecutors!"

Let's keep him busy in court instead of holding court like a mad king.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

6. In a fight between a rabid mongoose and a methed out weasel. I can only

hope for mutual destruction.

10. "Trump will soon begin vetting candidates at Mar-a-Lago"

What the hell constitutes "vetting" in Trump world? The quality of the ass smooch?

[Captain Zero]

11. He will pick the last person he talks to for most

Of the challenges. Thats how they say policy went. Last person in the room with him.

Maybe we could punk him with a Sasha Baron Cohen type Republican. A plant from us on DU. ANYBODY up for it? Just build you a total fake identity and slide you in the door. Last guy in the room and you are the challenger from the Patriot Party for the GOP nomination. Grift away a bunch of of his PAC money, and throw outrageous rallies.

Or. We could just run a DUer to the RIGHT OF his candidate. Out Stone Roger Stoner.

12. Dumbkirk II: War-a-Lardo

[GoodRaisin]

13. Vetting candidates to exact his vengeance.

Unbelievable evil.

[Dagstead Bumwood]

14. Pity they won't use real weapons on one another.

[kentuck]

15. A Super Grift !

Move over, PT Barnum!
