It seems to me that 44 GOP Senators are laying the groundwork for Trump 2024 [View all]
One of the networks, either CNN or MSNBC, just played the emotional comments where Lead House Impeachment Manager Raskin cried when discussing the prospect that a Trump acquittal could lead to the monstrosity returning. He's bang on.
The only reason I can come up with in my mind for why 44 GOP senators are rushing to acquittal is that they have decided that they need the support of the militants and the extremists to remain viable and that regardless of their own potential personal distaste for him, that Trump 2024 is their best shot at winning the presidency again. They're probably looking at Romney and Pence as potential nominees, and have decided that their only shot at having an energized turnout to make 2024 even remotely competitive is to have Trump back at the top of the ticket.
Watch for them to try to roll out a fake "sane" Trump as he campaigns for them in the 2022 midterms to try to rehabilitate him ahead of his 2024 bid as well. We really need the media not to fall for that next year! Lindsey Graham is already musing about rehabilitating Trump, using that exact word!
Dave Wasserman tweeted on January 9 or January 10 that the 2024 nomination is Trump's if he wants it.
That is the only justification I can come up with in my mind for why they are excusing his insurrection and his manslaughter, sadly.
I was counting on conviction to rid us of him but looks like we'll have to do it the hard way and defeat him at the polls AGAIN, for a 3rd time, in 2024.
