(CNN) - Donald Trump is no longer president. He no longer has the megaphone of Twitter. But make no mistake: This is still Trump's Republican Party.

You see it in the actions of Republican state and local parties trying to punish those who went against Trump. You see this in a majority of congressional Republicans voting to uphold an objection to Pennsylvania's electoral votes for President Joe Biden.

And more than that, you see it in the polling, which indicates that Trump's in a historically strong primary position for an ex-president. Indeed, he's polling tremendously well among Republicans in the context for any future presidential nominee.

Republican leaders go against Trump at their potential electoral peril. It's not that other Republicans can't beat Trump. We'll have to wait and see on that. Rather, it's that he could be a very big voice over the next four years.

1. Not buying it!! And no, I'm not sticking my head in the sand. He's out of power it's been less

Than 2 weeks, his overall favorability is 29%. The pukes are artificially propping him up

Nope!

6. Article is about him in GOP primary

not general election.
He would sweep early primaries since he would only need about 35% of the vote to win a 5-8 person field.
Your accurate assessment about the general election is why I don’t think he will run.

2. The ReThug Party will stick with trDump,.....

trDump excites the government by gun fire, pipe bombs , and Molotov cocktail portion of the Fascist base of voters.

They consistently vote and worship the Republicans, especially during midterm elections. Like 2022.

3. LOL. The media just won't let go of the freak show

Who needs twitter when the media will gleefully fulfill that role? We all have to withstand more deadly threats from nazis because of ridiculous articles like this.

4. Great! We don't mind winning in a landslide!

7. Please proceed.

8. Right. Because all the other impeached Presidents got Elected again in the next general election?

How many Ex-Presidents have successfully run for office after a first term? One (and he wasn't impeached) and another became a Congressman.

This stuff is defeatist. "Why fight him, he'll only win again."

9. Duh! Like anyone thought that fat mouth orange haired windbag would just go away?

He has to be prosecuted multiple times. We'll see how popular he is after that. Who gives a shit about the polls right now.
