    Just wait - starting 39 days from now we get to speculate if the election results will actually be obeyed or not.

    And that fucker will never stop being in the news - his family has a death grip over the GOP.

      I think most of the GOP are over him. He’s not been useful for any of them for a hot minute now. I think if he loses, they drop him as fast as they can.

        Trump appointed a family member as the GOP chair and it looks like Baron is being setup to get another nepotism appointment. That fucking rot goes deep.

        I don’t disagree that most GOP politicians want him gone - I don’t think he’s ever been popular with senators or house reps… but everyone still in an elected position is either a true believer or someone who knows to keep their mouth shut - the fucking voting base is insane. As a parallel I’d point to our unfortunate BC provincial politics where a party attached the conservative label to themselves and jumped from 0 to like 40% of the expected vote share overnight.

        Conservatives are fucking crazy and do not give a shit who their actual reps are - they’re entirely identity based voters.

          He’s 4 years older now and if he loses, add another 4 years into a now two time loser. His value is gone with a loss imo.

          He’s going to tank everyone down ballot. If everyone gets out and votes, the hope is this will be a landslide victory and the GOP will be punished for following trump in every election up for grabs this year. Including local elections
