Its a fractured party with constant infighting and no proactive measures to fix anything other than whining and the party hasn't won the majority vote in YEARS. Always playing defense. . You can bookmark it and take a picture, Republicans stand no chance until 2028 at least... Maybe 2026 if they get a bit more moderate and start to appeal to a broader audience

and what’s the alternative? the ever far left side of the political spectrum? it’s all a game at this point. vote local how ever you want. for national stuff, let NYC and Los Angeles dictate what’s best for America. everyone seems to think this way anyway

We can only hope. Maybe there are enough moderates to stop the Trumplican MAGA extremists. But so many are in safe districts like Gosar, Green and others, so the insanity will continue.

If Trump gets the nomination and is against Biden there's still a good chance he could win, even while fighting federal charges. But more people are wising up to the fact he is a despotic wannabe dictator who throws everyone who supports him under the bus. Including nearly 900 who are in, or going to prison for him. I think most of his supporters are just there to see what kind of crazy he pulls out of his hat next.

Here's a scenario for you. Trump gets indicted, delays trial until after he is nominated, wins the Primary, then loses in court. Remains out on appeal, WINS the election over the democrats. His hand picked Supreme Court throws out the conviction.

Because of clear corruption in the republican controlled courts, Biden refuses to relinquish the Presidency, and the military backs him up.

Civil War 2 begins...

Reminder... Trump got several more million votes than Obama (2008) when his support had the most energy.

The Swamp knows it. They know what they had to do to in 2020.

They only reason Trump is bad for America is sizable portion of the country comes down with a severe case of TDS... and we don't have a vaccine yet. They end up wreaking havoc everywhere.

Sounds like a democrat wet dream. No basis in reality, just an unrealistic hope that the voters will ignore what brandon and the rest of his co-conspirators have done to destroy the country.

I am not so sure.

Well GOP probably will not totally win both chambers in 2022 mid terms, but they are probably taking the house and dems probably keep the senate. Though I think the GOP taking both is more likely than the left. But most likely scenario regardless of Trump is dems pick 1 senate seat and GOP takes house.

If Trump has fractured the party, GOP still probably take house in 2 months, but not the senate.

But for a GOP president and party to win both chamber majority if it is fractured right now, your probably right GOP will not be able to win president nor both chambers of congress to do positive things for America.

But the GOP will still maintain 1 chamber most likely at least in this 2022 mid terms and well before 2028.

And that is so needed and really all that's needed to hang in there without much if any damage being done. If the evil left gets power in both chambers in 2022 or 2024 or beyond we are so screwed!!

I however do not think a fractured GOP will not take the house in 2 months though so we should be ok for 2 more years at least. Though weirder strange things have happened and I am a bit nervous about the hell hole laws the left would try and pass if they get more than 50-50 senate and retain the house.

But Trump may not have fractured the party and may help it as so many still like him and many more may depending o results of FBI raid which is turning up maybe ok but more to the story to know for sure.

Quite the assumptions. Are you wagering on your confidence as there’s odds to do that?

Hoping and wishing is one of the things Dems do best, and the 6 year goosechase reinforces that.

Lets face it. Trump has fractured the republican party, chances of winning 2022 and 2024 is ZERO

Sounds like wishful thinking.

The OP is a coping response, so probably not much use at face value.

I have no doubt they will continue to lose the popular vote, as they have done for all but one election in the last 28 years, and that was a razor thin win. Americans overall vote for Democrats more than Republicans, but they have gerrymandered and legislated eligible voters off the rolls and made voting hard in certain strategic places, enough that the minority might continue to rule the majority despite being outnumbered. The electoral college that allows cows and empty acres more of a say than actual people is a giant flaw in the system that gives the minority outsized power.
