If the Republicans were truly Machiavellian. [View all]

(This is totally a hypothetical and I know it's not going to happen)

We know Republicans will cheat and do everything to win in 2026, but they are looking at a potent slaughter by Democrats in the 2026 mid-terms.

The GOP should do an about face and turn on Trump. They should impeach him, get rid of his stupid tarrifs so the stock market soars and proclaim themselves the party that saved democracy while the Democrats sat there and did nothing. They could quietly keep there Project 2025 in motion as people aren't paying attention and Vance could be a kinder, gentler Trump still with the billionaires still calling the shots.

Remember politics today is so much more about perception than reality.

So my question is this: Why does Trump still have a hold on all Republicans? Is it just the fear of being primaried? Are they afraid of Trump’s vengeance? Are they taking payoffs from Putin? Are they being blackmail over Epstein?

Discuss.
