A growing number of Republican National Committee members believe its campaign arm should help pay mounting legal bills for former President Donald Trump, a move that could strain the party’s ability to financially support other candidates in the 2024 election.

    If trump died today, another grifter who wants the same shit would emerge by morning.

    If anything they’d be more dangerous because they wouldn’t be so open about it.

    Don’t forget Hillary was pushing for trump in 2016 because he was the only one she thought she could beat.

    trump isn’t special, he’s not some once in a generation politician. Neoliberals just say that about any Republican running for president because that’s the only way people can be convinced to vote for neoliberals.

    Doesn’t matter who his replacement is, the replacement would be better at hiding the crimes.

      No, he’s exactly that. His cult of personality is not easy to replicate. There will always be political grifters, but ones who can mobilize a mass movement are rare.

        Do you not remember GW Bush?

        If you didn’t live thru, you might believe that no Republicans supported him while president, because as soon as he left office they all said they never did

        When trump is gone, it’ll be the same.

        They’ll drop him in an instant, move to the next one, and claim that’s how it’s always been.

        They do it with damn every president.

        Hell, look at fucking Regan, he managed to hang on a little, but it was the same thing

        This happens over and over and over…

        But you’re just going to keep disagreeing, and I don’t think explaining it a 4th time will help
