BTW what does a 'recovered' conservative party look like?

Remember this dude? VERY easy answer: What would John McCain do?

Voted NOT to end Obamacare. Stood against Putin. Stood for decency. Worked on an immigration compromise

Yes, a conservative. But sane. A 'never Trumper' Image
The easy answer to when we know that the conservative movement has been cured of its magadisease is, that we can imagine John McCain fully supporting that party

A cured GOP will not fight war against women (abortion, codify Roe vs Wade) ie no longer hostage to religious nutters Image
A cured conservative party will kick out the Nazis, condemn all white supremacists and LEAD the fight to race equality. Try to become the party of choice for all minorities (so yes, 180 degree turn from today)

That means yes, banning red magahats & the confederate flag Image
The Republican party has become the party of stupid (in words of former GOP Governor of Louisiana, Bobby Jindal)

They CANNOT get the youth vote back, until they start to respect SCIENCE - most of all - climate science. They HAVE to kick out science-deniers & the Anti-Fauci squad Image
The demographic shifts against the OLD GOP were brutal. Mitt Romney election loss autopsy of 2012 told us this. Told the WORLD that the GOP knew it

They had to get women, minorities & youth to accept GOP as a viable option

Trump turned GOP into white uneducated man's pity party Image
There is NO OTHER WAY

This GOP is dead. It cannot win national elections. It will do ever worse in local elections until it is no more

I don't CARE how long it takes for conservatives to figure this out. I don't

I say #LetTrumpBeTrump

But we MUST BE RATIONAL. They WILL change Image
GOP has not yet had its 'Mondale Moment' (Mondale lost with 40% against Reagan in 1984: only won his home state)

When they do, they will change

After Mondale, DEMs rejected socialist agenda (like that of Bernie Sanders) & embraced middle political ground of Bill Clinton - & won Image
PS

One more test. Only when EVERY nominee for President takes pledge they will not pardon Trump - is this party on the mend. If even one of their candidates refuses that pledge: GOP is still sick with magamadness

Easy test. I don't mind their sickness lingering

Dear Speaker Pelosi
cc @SpeakerPelosi

Thank you for these 4 years. We knew this election cycle was tough, and we still made it close. It is a great shame your term as Speaker will come to an end

Most of all, in America's nightmare, you were the adult who kept Trump in check...
Trump and the Republicans were out of control by the time you received the gavel after 2018 Midterms. You put an end to all legislative nonsense, and not once did you ever lose to Trump (or Mitch) in any Congressional negotiations

Then at America's Hour of Need, you stood strong
You offered the Republicans a chance to rid their party of Trump, with the Impeachment 2, that got a bipartisan vote to Impeach in Congress but Mitch made his catastrophic mistake in not using the Senate Trial to end the politcal career of Trump. Trump will now hound the GOP

Because we kept the Senate but GOP flipped the House in the 2022 Midterms, there will be .. gridlock

Republicans will not be able to advance their sick agenda through legislation. BUT they will be blocking most of the progress we wanted

Instead will be circus

#House #HouseFlip
If Qevin McMoron is in good standing with Trump he gets to keep his Speakership (for now). Trump will loom large in Kevin's nightmares

McCarthy cannot advance any legislation. So they will turn to persecutions instead. Circus hearings in Congress. With Gym Jordan, Elise Stefanik
Yes... Congressional hearings into Hunter Biden, Jewish Space Based Lasers, Hunter Biden, Gazpacho Police, Hunter Biden, Lesbian Dance Theory, Hunter Biden, Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden, Anthony Fauci, Hunter Biden, Windmill Cancer and Hunter Biden..

We'll enjoy Matt Gaetz..

On Trump vs GOP field

The leadership and most Senators, some Congressmen want someone (else) to take out Trump. They want 'anyone' to go against Trump for the 2024 nomination

Most serious candidates know that is a suicide mission unless were 'Never Trumpers' like John Kasich
Because of what happened to Liz Cheney, no sitting Senator, Congressman or Governor DARES to take on Trump. Trump has too much power with base Maga, with VERY few exceptions (=Romney) Trump can crush almost anyone on GOP side if Trump decides to do so (he can't harm DEMs)
So Death Santis, Abbott, Ted Cruz? Will not go against Trump. Only very WEAK candidates can attempt the move - out of desperation (= Mike Pence) or if they're so old, they have no more time (=Chris Christie)

Fox WANTS DeSantis. He will not commit

So, first, obviously... after my total conviction on Giuliani, and DOJ decision to not press any criminal charges on Giuliani (so far) - I have really no credibility on anything relating to prison time BUT

BUT. I am (again) sure that Trump will be tried & convicted of Jan 6 and
..and of Espionage-a-Lago. I am not anticipating Trump to be the FIRST to be arrested or indicted because he is the Mafia boss, he will be LAST to be indicted

That said, on Mar-A-Lagogate, it is plausible Trump is tried and even sentences before Nov 2024 election. He COULD be..
..Trump COULD be in prison by the time they count the votes. And that scenario Palmer said, where Trump is 'campaigning' from prison and negotiating with GOP etc - that is PLAUSIBLE, and yes, now in less than 2 years

Absurd historically unique event. We'd witness it, front row

Trump 2024 Thread 1/

Ok, Trump announced (as I said, he will run). Let's do the 'definitive' Thread on Trump 2024 campaign

He will EASILY win the GOP nomination

And he will lose at MONDALE levels in general election November 2024

Trump 2024 Thread 2/

FIRST NOMINATION FIGHT

Do not think like a Democrat! Do NOT bring sanity into this discussion

Trump lost the popular vote in 2016 and 2020. By 2020, 7 million people voted against Trump

Trump lost GOP the House in 2018, White House in 2020, Senate in 2021 Image
Trump 2024 Thread 3/

When Trump was voted out in 2020, he got 47% of the vote. After that he launched January 6th against America in 2021. Then he was caught in massive espionage in 2022

In the midterms, of Americans who voted, Trump approval was 39%

He is UNELECTABLE. Image

I'm all alone
We lost the fight
My Trump is gone
My guiding light
And everywhere
I need to go
They all can tell
That I did know

(Yes they know)

My hat was red
Bright like a star
I trusted him
And that Bill Barr
But now all laugh
It makes me cry
I was a fool
And I know why

So I'll become
Some background noise
I'll stay away
From girls and boys
They all do know
They laugh and stare
My Magahat
I used to wear
It was too plain
I did not care

We wore his hat
It gave no power
The stench remains
Our lowest hour

(Stupid guy)
