Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I don't think this is an unpopular opinion tbh.
I think this is the last gasp for the gop, though. They have to win with trump here and they know it. If he loses he'll be too old next time around and the demographics are already shifting.
They know he'll run and split the vote if they don't give it to him anyway...
Tbh I think Hobbes decision was the nail for the gop. Women are angry and men on the fence are now too ...
I think this should be the focus of the work of the left right now. We've got a real opportunity to set up a death blow here, and the Democrats also being pieces of shit shouldn't cloud our eyes from making the RNC a dead and buried thing. We can actually take this country to the left if our only remaining opposition is the Democrats.

They cannot win with Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump and they know it.
They can counteract that for at least 4-8 years simply by getting a better candidate than Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump.
They know they will lose with Loser Trump anyway. If they dumped him they would be in much better shape for 2028. But I think if they had someone besides Loser Trump they would have an actual chance to win in 2024.
They have no choice. If they don't run him they split the ticket. If they do he def loses.
Let's say they dump trump and anoint desamtis or anyone. Trump will run third party and the gop loses all those voters forever.
I don't think people quite realize how much the tail is wagging the dog in the GOP right now. There is no way they "dump trump" and still remain a party that can win.
The GOP will lose in 2024 anyway. Loser Trump is their least likely candidate to win the general election because he is the most disliked politician in the country. All their voters will be back in 2028, saying they never really liked Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump.
Again I think u underestimate how 100% on trump and no one else many of his voters are.
The GOP can afford to lose an election. They cannot afford to lose committed trump voters.
They will lose the election in 2024 with Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump. In 2028, there will not be any committed trump voters. He will be in prison or will have kicked the bucket.
2028 sure there will. Guaranteed they'll write him in from prison.
