Can The Repugs Deny Tr**p From Running In 2024?.....

Can they eliminate him from the process by citing the 2 impeachments; the J6 insurrection and not the stealing of top secret documents.

Could they say - he doesn't represent a person that we'd feel represents the Repug Party in a stellar way? That he's an embarrassment to the Party and therefore not qualify him to run.

I know that they would be worried that he would run as a 3rd Party candidate - but would you rather take a chance on losing in 2024 because he split the Repug vote - or would you take a chance in him being called a Repug President and further embarrass and sink the Party into the future?

It doesn't only guarantee that they lose the presidency but that they will lose a lot of state/local races without the TFG base. So, in other words, not going to happen. The only way for TFG not to run for 2024 is to lose the republican primary.

Bank on it.

All of his criminalities are all catching up to Trump. By this time next year he'll be so inundated with legal and business problems that he won't be able to run. Republicans will find another odious and dangerous reptilian to take Trump's place.

Parties can't stop anyone from running in their primaries. If they get enough delegates then they win the nomination.

The RNC has no control who runs, and the State Parties are largely run by his supporters now.

AS with 2016, the question is: will other Republican candidates attack him, with the risk that they'll lose support and other candidates will benefit from taking Trump down (Prisoners Dilemma)?
