One freeper gets it right and tells the truth about the gop and frump (no link or name, safe)

"The GOP is dead without Trump....

Trump needs to start the MAGA party sign up 70 million voters and tell the GOP it is the MAGA. way or the highway...

Win or lose the GOP is dead.....

Trump democrats..Latinos..blacks...will not vote GOP...
"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is why they are stringing the defeat along: GOP leaders cannot piss off DT's 70mill voters.

The GOP was dead before they scraped DT out of the queens gutter, and now, they are unable to continue without him.

The GOP and frump are all looking at their own demise, and are putting off the inevitable.

The funny part is that frump can't fix this for them: It takes too many individuals in too many states to rig an election, beforehand or afterwards. They did rig it: They shortened voting times, reduced sites, dropped names, required ID's, and still, they can't win.

Ultimately, we're watching them limp around in circles because they're beyond hope.

This is what the death of a party looks like.

This is how criminals behave when they have nothing to lose.

3. Yes. Less then half that are actual MAGAts. The rest are what we call Republicans.

So, if the never-Trump Republicans become allied with the MAGAts, we will face some difficult elections in the future.

5. What is REALLY bad for the GOP

Is they need a TV-personality reality-show-type like avuncular Reagan or bully Trump to entertain and draw-in the non-base. Without Trump's loony antics tossing out assaults on their perceived enemies it will be hard on a national level to gather the needed voters to overcome the growing non-Con voters. (Local voting is off on a different track often.)

And there is no one in the pipeline with those sickening credentials. Thankfully.

6. Any group or party dependent on one person's existence is doomed.

When tRump dies, becomes incapacitated, or is locked up or totally ruined in the courts, the MAGA fad is essentially dead.

Can't happen soon enough.
