Senate Republicans have a plan to deal with Trump's death grip in '24. Good luck with that

[winetourdriver01]

After Donald Trump handily guided Senate Republicans to a one-seat loss in a midterm cycle where they were expected to gain, the Senate GOP conference has a one-man plan to right the ship in 2024: Sen. Steve Daines of Montana.

Daines is taking over as head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee after Sen. Rick Scott of Florida sided with Trump against Minority Leader Mitch McConnell last cycle. It did not go well, though McConnell certainly shares plenty of blame for Republicans' midterm failures.

1. 25 months and counting

2. Maybe they will eat each other.

3. They have no control over the primary electorate

More crazies are coming as candidates. When they lose they claim it was stolen. No one in the party learns not to nominate crazies.

It is a nice cycle they have going on over there for us.

4. Yup, and we can't get rid of these ccrazy candidates either.

First it was Marjorie Greene and Lauren Boebert and Paul Gosar. Now we have Ronny Jackson, and Harriet Hageman, and so on. Why are we continuing to put up with such batshit insanity? MAGA / America First is a cancer on politics and the sooner it's eradicated, the better.

6. Yep. They need the crazies--both candidates and voters. Without the crazies,

they've got no energy and no momentum and not enough donors. The GQP's problem is, however, the crazies just aren't a big enough portion of voters in general elections. And more than that, the crazy candidates turn people off. They're screwed if they stay with the crazies, and they're screwed if they jettison them. In short, it sucks to be Republican.

5. If Daines crosses Trump, how long til Trump nicknames him Daines, Daines, shit for brains?
