The Republican party will move on from Donald Trump when he dies and probably not for about eight months after that. Not a moment sooner. Hope this helps. You can stop writing this piece.
Literally what everyone said about 2020: "If Vice President Kamala Harris ultimately is inaugurated in January, a rudderless Republican Party will be forced — for the first time — to move on from Trump, who has said he will not seek the 2028 nomination." www.axios.com/2024/10/06/t...
An identity crisis. A brutal power struggle. Years in the wilderness.
If Trump actually faces prison, I think he’ll panic and flee the country. (Russia, probably?) That won’t end him completely, but I think that the party will fracture, Whig-style.
Then the wackos will start saying the deep state killed him.
It's been a zombie for years so predicting it's imminent death is clueless.
Coincidentally, that'll also be when he stops running for president.
Imagine the arrogant self-confidence at age 78 to imply you'll be CHOOSING not to run for president in 2028 when you're 82.
Move on by... New candidate, right? I think they're done with any pretense of actually wanting democracy. Trumpism is here to stay.
Reminds me of moronic pieces in 2021-2022 asking who will the GOP nominate for president, like there was any chance it wasn’t going to be Trump.
He is not even President, but still controls a small hostile following that will threaten and attack "RINOs" for not bending a knee to Trump That power goes away when you ignore him, and stop being cowards
There are members of the Republican Party who are heavily invested in this narrative and very badly want it to be true. Those people work to ensure that narrative gets reported in friendly outlets like Axios.
The real question here is who in the GOP will be the David Miscavige to Trump's LRH, and will the cult follow a successor
