Donald Trump is “safe following gunshots in his vicinity” Sunday, his campaign said. Officials believe an armed person intended to target the former president, sources say. Follow here for the latest.
Nobody should want these guys to finish the job, especially before the election. That’s a recipe to end up with President Vance, and the man is an absolute moron. He makes Dan Quayle look like the spelling bee champion.
Donald Trump doesn’t deserve to die from an assassin’s bullet. He deserves to die of natural causes, in prison.
Vance is immensely unlikable even amongst the republican base. And the past eight years have made it clear that trump can only really get trump elected. The only downside of him going to hell is that it will give republicans a few more years to figure out their post-trump pivot (which seems to be liz cheney).
You are right, but I dont think the cult would unify around someone else that quickly. In fact, I think chaos that nobody that is sane would truly want would immediately ensue.
On the other hand, every minute he is allowed to operate is a minute that extremists like the Proud Boys, Christian Nationalist, and just an unimaginable rogue gallery of others is actively injected into roles that they can cause extreme damage at.
The unfortunate part is my second point will continue being true rather Trump is bunking in Reagan’s torment pitch or not. Mask off will be the policy going forward, just manipulative nasty shit that gets nothing done but the rich richer and the Earth sicker.
Edit: and since I’m ranting I’d like to add; I care not one bit about “justice” served to Trump. I care only that we can recover from and avoid the circumstances that brings people like him to power. Send him to oblivion, lock him in a cell, leave him to die in an old person’s home alone once he outlives his use, whatever. I care that we notice what brings these people to power; Fear, Instability, and the abandonment of our own citizens. If we dont educate and care for one another, we are more susceptible to fascism again and again. If we dont strengthen our most vulnerable, and instead cater to those who already have everything, this will just happen again.
Also, if trump’s out, I could totally see someone like Romney stepping up, playing the “adult in the room” card, rallying a ton of centrists and economic right folks and getting just enough of the maga types (because he’s not a minority woman) to win.
While I would take Romney over the majority of Republicans, there is zero chance that he would rally any kind of enthusiasm with the Republican base. In fact, he would likely drive away undecided voters who were leaning Trump since he is reasonable and the only reason to go with Trump is because of misremembering his time in office or wanting a narcissistic strong man.
There are plenty of MAGA republicans in Congress who would step up. To say otherwise is to be living under a rock. Trump is far from the only prominent fascist ass hole in US politics.
Stop fucking edging me god fucking damn.

I feel like with Vance if no one specifically woke him up in the morning and made him his pop tarts he’d just miss the inauguration
I heard he is banned from Hyatt place chain wide since they all have couches.
Oh god he locked himself in the junior suite with the futon, call the fire department

Let’s not pretend that the man doesn’t know exactly what he is doing. His only deficit is in charisma.

Again I only think a Romney type creature could find any toe hold in a post trump… Absence.
But totally speculation, could go 180. Loomis 2025?
There’s 0 chance the RP would put Vance up as the new nominee, unless they’re already bound and required to.
We’re about 2 weeks out from there literally being no other option.
Then wait two weeks. I’m pretty sure Harris will beat trump pretty easily, and I think she’d beat Vance by even more.
Harris has left it down to the margin on the issue of Gaza. I expect a pivot from here on Oct 12th, at which point I think she’ll have it locked up.
Assassination would be good for MAGA. They’d worship him as a martyr.
I’d like Trump to die ASAP. From natural causes, like a heart attack from eating too much McD’s.
He is going to be a martyr no matter how he dies.
The conspiracy theories around his death are going to make every other conspiracy theory look quaint.
Why would that not martyr him anyway?

Nah bruv, let him live a decade in prison.
There are zero people to step in and rally voter support for MAGA without Trump.
There’s JD Vance.
There’s Ron DeSantis.
There’s Jim Jordan.
There’s Matt Gaetz.
There are plenty of MAGA republicans in Congress who would step up. To say otherwise is to be living under a rock. Trump is far from the only prominent fascist ass hole in US politics.
None of them will rally voter support. They are all wet blankets for the MAGA voter base, even iif they want to be the next Trump.
I want trump to die. In a supermax.
