1. Good grief!

2. NOOOOO! I'm counting on a Donnybrook at the 2024 R Convention!

I've been waiting all my life for a pitched battle among the Fundagelicals, the Randorrhoids, the corporate types, and people who just showed up out of hate for everything and everybody who aint them.

TFG stomping off and forming his own party out of the Fundagelicals and haters will remove most of the combatants, right there. The remainder would make an uneasy peace with each otber and keep that rotten party alive, lurching along like a wounded elephant until it can repackage Mercantilism and market it as something new again to fool a whole new generation of greedy fools.

I doubt TFG's party will long outlive him, without a focus for the personality cult the infighting will be too intense as the fundagelicals will realize they have nothing in common with each other except hating non fundagelicals and that the rest of the country no longer finds them particularly impressive as a political force.

Just let him form that party after the convention. I want my Donnybrook. It's not much to ask, really.

3. Maybe I am just too optimistic.

But I am thinking that trump is one and done.

His endorsed candidates did not do well in the midterms.

Women and young people, and the population, are trending more liberal and progressive all the time.

But I would love to see all of these assholes unite together and get crushed in an election.

4. Just don't expect HIM to believe that

yes, we mostly outvoted him and just about all his candidates lost. However he will be convinced that they were cheated out of their rightful places and that only he can fix it when he wins the presidency again, throwing all Democratic politicians in jail for breathing and installing his stooges into their places. It's god's plan, you see, Paula White-Cain told him so when she was on her direct line to god's inner thought processes.

I'm just afraid all those young voters will stay home because they think Biden's too old and won't be looking at his younger running mate as someone who will take over should he die in office.

5. Your points are well-taken.

But trump is delusional and I think that is becoming obvious to the most conservative voters.

Every time he speaks out he is losing support.
