Fox is already getting behind DeSantis and it's causing Trump to attack them. It would not surprise me if Trump starts a huge civil war inside the Republican party and that would be the most beautiful thing I have seen in years. LOL

(16,783 posts)2024 will be WORSE as well as NASTY than 2016 if the GOP field is crowded. TDFG BELIEVES the office of President is just for him and him alone.

(19,192 posts)the only way Trump could possibly lose the nomination is because it's fixed. Recount after recount. Law suit after law suit.
There will be no clear-cut republican nominee right up until election day, 2024.
And that, as they say, is that. Democrats win in a landslide. 6 new Democratic Senators and an increase in Democratic House seats.
Thank you for your bat-shit crazy stubbornness, Big Orange Pig.

They will assume this. Because they are not idiots.

She could draw votes away from the Republican candidate and draw more for the Democrat.

DeSantis, anointing him as the second coming in exchange for favors. Pardons and other perks.
Тяцмp Never wanted the presidency. He just wants to grift. That will be easier for him behind the scenes pretending to be Q. Maybe hell ask DeSantis to appoint him special prosecutor to go after Dems.

(48,966 posts)resign early to let Pence pardon him, as some people were speculating, since I didn't think he'd trust Pence that much.

his gambit on the 6th would - or at least could - work. Thats why he didnt resign before that date (which clearly would have been the smart thing to do). After Pence failed to reject the votes on the 6th, he didnt trust him at all.
But DeSantis, on the other hand, would still need Тяцмp for the cult base for a second term election. Hed have to follow through on a deal or Тяцмp would turn on him. Тяцмp would know this. Manipulating people/circumstances and getting his way is really his only appreciable skill.
Just my take. I could be wrong.

(11,885 posts)And weaponize his followers (suckers) against them in any way he can. Knowing donors and supporters are leaving him now, you can bet he'll continue his grifting of his people as long as he can, then offer an excuse to drop out before he loses in the primaries.
He will try to create chaos , and claim falsely outlandish stuff like his phony election was stolen claim , trying to divide the party more. He's looking like a fool more every day with his baseless claims he's been victimized. His con is falling apart. TFG is a loser, and instead of being humiliated , he will drop out .
