(10,123 posts)17. Trump is a Pinata dangled by the GOP for media consumption
They'll let him take a whole bunch of hits and then unveil someone like Gov of FL, MoRon DeGenocidis as their candidate. They don't like Trump nearly as much as we don't but he was a means of retaining power.
Who here seriously thinks that there are no significant others in the GOP who crave power and the Oval office?
They have all the inside dirt on Trump. They can gas him when they want. They enabled him. They could have impeached him. They control a lot of the media. When they think it is time, 'Eu Tu Brute?' and TFG is done.
Democrats have to be prepared for that. The GOP are much like Trump: ruthless and unprincipled.
