I wonder how long the donors are gonna put up with this
Until there's some other jackass running for the GOP. Then it'll start all over again because orange man has set a new precedent.
If he loses the presidential race, the GOP is gonna be in really, really bad shape.
Trump could, if we are lucky, be the death rattle of the Republican party.
In an ideal world, that could break us out of the two party system. We probably won't get that lucky.
A man can dream…
If he doesn't lose the rest of us are in far fucking worse shape
Idk. Trump is a symptom, not the illness. Once he's out of the equation, there are plenty of other neonazis to fill the vacuum.
I hope your right though.
A lot of the rightwing rats that have jumped ship have swam to the libertarian party, so maaaaaybe we'll see that grow to replace the GOP. I'd call that a best-case scenario: they're bat-shit crazy, but they at least stand for something other than contrarianism and hatred. The LP would make a more sane competition to the blue team.
I don't see that actually happening though. Cult 45 will just flock to some other dipshit like Desantis, and another election or two down the road we'll be doing the same ol' dance.
Pretty sure he's going to lose like every GOP has for decades, it's just if the undemocratic institutions like gerrymandering and the electoral college will allow his votes to be privileged/worth more despite losing the public vote.
Just because Trump may be out of the picture, doesn’t mean the folks who watch Fox suddenly disappear into the ether.
You forgot they hate black people more than anything else though.
They don't hate "all" black people, they have a black friend. See, "not racist."
Need to get rid of the ec and fptp voting to do that.
It won't happen with our two party system. We're stuck with the Republican party until the sun burns out.
Forever. When you convince people the other side are blood drinking child killers who want to commit "genocide" on the "white race" and brainwash their children, they are going to stop at nothing to try and destroy that other side.
When these people call Biden Satan, remember - they actually BELIEVE Satan is REAL.
Those same people called Obama the devil 'cause they could see it in his eyes.
Eyes was just code for skin
Trump doesn't have any big donors (that we know of) if he's this broke so they probably are done
For the most part, they’re not. The GQPs fundraising is WAY behind Biden’s.
