If Trump runs in 2024, how will it not be a disaster for the Republicans? [View all]
Does anyone else see the major problem that the Republicans are going to face in 2024? Not from
the American electorate in general but from the Republican Party itself? Let’s say Trump does run for the nomination. It’s extremely unlikely that he will be the only viable candidate. It’s not going to be like 2020 where the field is cleared for him and only a few nobody Republicans who are intentionally hamstrung by the rules will even try. There are going to be some real heavy hitters in the party going up against him and think about how that will play out.
Someone like DeSantis will not just roll over and treat Trump with kid’s gloves. The only way to win the nomination will be to go toe to toe with Trump and that is going to be brutal for all sides in the Republican Primary. They will turn into full blown enemies. Does anyone expect calm civility if Trump actually has to fight to be renominated? Then what? Trump wins with a minority of support after being brutalized by his own party or Trump loses. And guess who’s an extremely sore loser that likely won’t accept the results.
How exactly do the Republicans come out ahead in this scenario where Trump runs in 2024?
