In reply to the discussion: Republicans Are Scrambling To Teach Cognitively Declining Trump Policy Before The Debate [View all]DFW
(60,317 posts)I think that if any of them realistically see a chance of winning the presidential election, it will be with the intention of having Trump disappear (voluntarily or otherwise), William Henry Harrison style (but quicker), after the inauguration, and install the nut case they really wanted in the first place in the Oval Office.
I don't think there is a Republican strategist left who really WANTS Trump as president. But I am confident that there are some who want him to win, so that they can install the VP of their choice as President as soon as Trump discovers his "for reasons of health" within a couple of weeks of being inaugurated. I'm sure that even if he doesn't want to at first, promises of a miracle financial solvency accompanied by a full presidential pardon will bring him around within 15 minutes of the off-the-record conference that will make the decision.
