Fugelsang right now saying today was a victory for the GOP

[nolabear]

I’m not saying I agree with him but his theory is chillingly plausible. This is a GOP dream—45 is toast. He is an ex wannabe. He’s pinin’ for the smorgasbords. And now they can cut loose and run DeSantis. They got what they wanted from that horrid little puppet.

Thoughts? Because DeSantis is evil personified.

[Eliot Rosewater]

1. It was inevitable, one assumes, given that trump is a liar, traitor and idiot that he would

cause his own demise eventually.

DeSatan will require that we respond with tremendous aggression. Our lives will be at stake.

[nolabear]

5. Ain't that the truth. It's all hands on deck.

[dchill]

2. Party Of Insurrectionist Criminals might not play well.

[Lovie777]

3. Yep . .

[Skittles]

4. he's right in a way

but the fact is, something has to be done with Donald Fucking Trump, and we would have to deal with the fallout. Liz Cheney is still a fucking repuke who is not fighting for America, she is fighting for old school GOP (they also stunk it up)

but, it had to be done

[nolabear]

8. I know. It's always been the plan. Use him up and throw him away.

That’s the funny thing about people like 45. They believe they’re somebody, when in reality they’re just Lonesome Rhodes.

[Skittles]

11. the one hope I hang on to

is Trump's sick, demented cult supporters refusing to support anyone who replaces his roasted orange ass......yes IDNEED

[Wounded Bear]

6. He's not wrong about the GOP turning to DeSatan...

but I don't know that that is an automatic "win."

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. Trump could always run third party as a spoiler.

[nolabear]

9. From your mouth...

[Sugarcoated]

18. Exactly

and he will if the Republican Party somehow excludes him

[DemocratSinceBirth]

26. He will call the nominee a RINO and many MAGAS will follow him.

[Sugarcoated]

31. He will do it just to spite them

Because he is a grade A jagoff, it's his fuel

[JohnSJ]

10. First of all this is about an attempt to overturn an election, and take over the government

by a violent insurrection

That Fugelsang summarizes this as some victory for republicans is really shallow and disappointing

It also ignores the involvement of members of Congress in the insurrection

The seriousness of this cannot be underestimated as simply “winning or losing”

[nolabear]

13. I don't think they exclude one another.

Seems to me they’re part of the same scenario.

[JohnSJ]

17. It is more than that. Members of Congress were actively either involved in the insurrection, and or

cheered it on, and did little to stop it, if that’s is considered winning, then the country is gone

[Hugin]

12. I've been saying for awhile now that they are running TFG's second term without him...

Because it’s easier.

All of them Pootie, Moscow Mitch, the SCrOTUS, all of them are going ahead with what they were planning to do. It is like a Democratic majority never occurred in 2020.

The TX GrOPpers even said so out loud.

[Baitball Blogger]

16. Especially Scotus.

Hopefully, they went over their skis.

[Baitball Blogger]

14. Yes and no.

On the surface, De Santis won. But he also lost too, because he's at the head of the pack and Trump is a vengeful person. If they have shit on De Santis, they will try to use it to control him. They might come up to a truce, but not before Trump draws blood.

[PortTack]

21. Trump is vengeful and regardless where he is he will be openly bashing deathsatan or whoever

The candidate is. It wouldn’t surprise me to see him tell his cult members not to vote

[Baitball Blogger]

23. He'll do that. But they already started rumors that De Santis has a mistress.

It's Florida. They love to trash people around here. I wouldn't get excited about the rumor unless someone produces video.

[CanonRay]

15. But there are millions of Trumpites

who will follow him over the cliff.

[tishaLA]

19. When the national spotlight falls on DeSantis, he'll melt

He won't be able to take the scrutiny--if our beloved reporters bother to scrutinize him and his record.

[Baitball Blogger]

25. I really hated the way he declared his wife cancer-free, as if that's something he got out of the

way to clear the way for a run.

[OnDoutside]

20. If it were a rational person, maybe, but Trump has already threatened

to take his magats with him, and that threat worked before. If he took 5% they would be toast. Don't forget that the GOP are cowards.

[PortTack]

22. Exactly! You said it much better than I did

[nolabear]

27. That would be my hope. I don't think anyone actually likes the GOP.

Well, corporations, the wealthy, power mongers, etc. but the whole idea that the common folk love them was put paid by the Tea Party and then the fleecing began. So yes, the fleeced might just help by insisting on remaining fleeced.

[shrike3]

24. He's probably right. They got Trump foisted on them by the Orange Cult.

They were stuck with him, but now's an excuse to cut him loose.

[Cosmocat]

28. OFFS

Unless he miraculously is charged and convicted or has some kind of significant health issue, Trump will run in and win the primary, and as the first two times will be at worst a coin flop to win the presidency.

[Mr.Bill]

29. Okay, I'll go out on a limb.

You know who could beat DeSantis?

Gavin Newsom.

[nolabear]

30. Hmmmmm...

Interesting.
