Incredibly enough, you obviously havent learned your lesson about Trump and the lesson to be learned couldnt be more obvious.
He doesnt care about your individual political ambitions, any more than he cares about your party. He has proven, time and again, that he only cares about himself, and the destruction hes already wreaked on the country (as well as the GOP brand), is irrefutable evidence thereof.
The only power Trump has left is the power you give him and he will use that power to destroy anyone who crosses him, or utters any slight, real or perceived. His only agenda going forward is to seek revenge against his personal enemies, and the damage that may cause to your party is not even a second thought in fact, it is not even part of the equation.
He has no morals, no ethics and to him, loyalty is a one-way street. He will turn on you in a nanosecond if it is to his benefit. He will expose whatever kompramat he knows about you if it means getting back at you for displeasing him. He will reveal every detail of your complicity in his illegal schemes if it means saving his own ass.
As the GOP stands now, you are prepared to follow the lead of the man who cost you the House, the Senate, and the White House which, IMHO, seems to be a rather shaky plan to begin with. And to confer on this Loser the power of political life-and-death over yourselves and your party is blatantly insane.
But carry on, Republicans. Keep winging your way down to Mara Lago in order to kiss the ass of the man who only sees you as snivelling idiots, grovelling for favour thereby marking you as desperate, easily-coerced prey.
I always thought that watching the GOP destroy itself would be entertaining and it is. I just never visualized such a crashing downfall over the need to ass-kiss a self-serving, dumbass, tub- o-lard like Donald Trump.

I think this move MAY be enough for some of these idiots to finally 'get the picture'.
If the PuQ's at large cannot rake in the suckers money by name-dropping and printed the photos of themselves alongside IQ45 giving the ol' thumbs-up, his value to them goes WAY down.
Might finally at least be the beginning of the end.
We'll see.

(17,989 posts)On Bill Maur the Republican Party can not be saved. My opinion, there are too many just like Trump. They are not worth saving. One reason so many are getting out. They know it.

nurtured their corruption and resisted any suggestion that they should stop their hurtful
actions.
There's no daylight between tRUMP and the reTHUGS. They both want the same thing
and it doesn't do much good to ask why. It's what they want and it's up to the rest of us to
see that they're permanently removed from positions of political, religious and social power. There are people and groups that truly can "learn their lesson". tRUMP/reTHUGS
and their supporters cannot be rehabilitated but they can be given lengthy prison terms.
