Precious headline! Sadly, in today's climate, probably.

Could an Indicted Ex-President Lead the GOP?
May 22, 2021 at 7:30 am EDT By Taegan Goddard


USA Today: “No one knows for sure, but some Republicans are increasingly discussing the possibility.”

“Criminal charges would, at the very least, create political problems for Trump, but allies and analysts said they would not necessarily prevent him from campaigning for Republicans in 2022 congressional races and even pursuing another presidential campaign in 2024.”

Sadi GOP pollster Frank Luntz: “None of this matters. It doesn’t matter for his decision making or for anyone who votes for him… It’s just so irrelevant.”

They gave their support thru two impeachments.

They lied for him.

They covered up for him.

They ignored his crimes.

He is their Party.

His followers are brainwashed.

They have no critical thinking skills, absolutely none.

I speak from experience.

I have family members in his cult.

They are the greatest threat this country has ever faced.

They want the U.S. to be a white Christian theocracy where corporations have the power and the people have none.
