Check! Trump has one move left and it is not a good one.

He will announce he is running for president. Then he will try to destroy Desantis, Moscow Mitch and McCarthy. He will attempt to put in place the craziest fuckers he can find in leadership positions of the GOP. It will not go well.

Stay tuned, this is going to be a train wreck.

at all for him--something the minority Italian neofascists would like to rewrite.

He has that much power any longer. His party sees his vulnerability and will ignore his rants. The MAGAs are dwindling. Lots of noise but not much power methinks.

may not even when the nomination. De Santis will emphasize what a loser a Trump ticket would be with the message, "just look at what happened to Trump candidates in the last election. Do you want that again in 2024?" I think De Santis will be their nominee.

And McCarthy may get replaced with a crazy incompetent Gym Jordan-type MAGAT. I can't see McConnell getting detroned. He controls too much campaign money.

Without contributions from gullible GOPers and foreign interests, he will lose influence.

When they do I will no longer hear from you. You will get real quiet. For now, enjoy yourself.

of Raskolnikov, I would eschew this presidential race. If the House holds, then the dems would build on their accomplishments and have a stronger case to maintain that momentum.
Should the House fold, then the mayhem to follow would not be a a justification for the repubs to continue. How could he sell a change is coming?

Furthermore, trump has an allegiance that does not yet, think well of DeSantis, outside of Florida.
trump has complications that will muddy the conversations for some time. Republicans will not look good for their previous support.

Will Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, or another throw in their hat. Complexities, I would not want to broach.

Think he will sit on the sidelines.

They want to get rid of him but know it will split the party if they do because he has so many followers. Their big thing is how to cut him off but not lose his people? I bet they are hoping he gets indicted, who knows maybe even secretly helping.
