"The coming split"

[Septua]

This article written by someone based on a premise that the majority of the Republican party support Trump...I don't think so.

https://amgreatness.com/2022/12/28/the-coming-split/

That leads us to the inevitable question: What should we do when a majority of Republicans want Trump, but the Republican Party says we can’t have him? Do we knuckle under and vote for Ron DeSantis because he would be vastly better than any Democrat?

"Record number of Republican Support the Party Over Trump"

1. I think around 20% are pretty hardcore TFG supporters.

Most would probably still vote for Deathsatan or whoever the Republicans nominate instead of stay with TFG because they hate Democrats more than they love Trump.

8. Among Rs, Maybe Higher

But, per both Pew ; Gallup mid-last year, only 24% of voters identify as republican. So, it might be a third of that who will stick with TFG even as the ship sinks.
Now, there are a lot of people identifying as independent that lean hard right, and a decent portion of them need the same life jackets.

2. they may not of "supported" trump but they did vote for him.

3. I think a lot of those who wish that he would just go away are compelled to continue

to give him lip service out of fear of his core voter's power. I believe that many of them would be happy if he disappeared into the fog and night. I think that the only true-blue Trump supporters left are the 25% or less of American knuckle draggers. The Republican Party is in a precarious position.

A Trump, banned from running, or dead would be the best for their Party. They could have their cake and eat it too. "See what the evil Democrats did to our spiritual leader? " I just hope to Dog that the Republicans don't throw their weight behind DeSantis; he is a Putin waiting in the wings.

I would love to see a MAGA Party that could capture 15- 20% of the Republican vote.

5. "A Trump, banned from running, or dead would be the best for their Party"

True. But if that doesn't occur and he seeks the GOP nomination and doesn't get it, he won't likely accept another embarrassment. So, the Truth ( ) Party will be born.

4. It's a no-brainer that anyone who thinks either Trump or Desantis is...

..."vastly better than any Democrat" long ago surrendered their brain to the toxic fume-huffing spheres of conservatism.

[Red Mountain]

6. The vast majority of Republicans will do what they're told

Taking a stand on principle with regard to their candidates seems to be a thing of the past.

7. Sit back and get the snacks and drinks

Been so looking forward to this and expect them to use the guns on one another.

9. It's written by a Chumper who chooses Chump over the Repuke Party

So of course he's rooting for a "split."

If Chump doesn't start a third party - let's call it the "Losers Party" - then he'll never be nominated for anything again. Do we care either way? Heck no! Let him go.

12. "...the majority of the Republican party support(s) Trump...I don't think so."

Hmm...depends on how you define "the Republican party"...GOP voters, or the elected and party apparatchiks.


Among Republican voters, Trump is the leading candidate for that party's presidential nominee.
