Mitch hates Bannon, who is getting pardoned, so that should help with trump's impeachment.

Do you think Trump will run in 2024. If so, will it be on the Republican ticket or on his own?

It will be interesting to see the clear bias on full display. They didn’t ask him any tough questions leading up to the election. Why should they start now?

Had he handled the loss in this election better, by conceding when it became clear he couldn’t win, he would have had a real chance to win again it 2024. Sadly, that ship has sailed.

I don't think he is going to get the chance. I honestly believe he is going to be convicted in the Senate....when you have people like Mitch saying he is openly considering convicting him, I think Trump may be going down.

Best thing that could happen for the republican party is for Trump to go away. If he runs as an independent, he will pull 10-15 million votes away from any republican ticket.

I think if the vote was anonymous, it would be around 97-3 with 40 different senators claiming they were one of the 3. I think well over 50% of the Republican senate abhor him, and the rest want him out so they can run as Trump 2.0 in 2024 (Hawley and Cruz would vote to convict so quickly on a secret ballot that it would make your head spin).

This is probably true.

I've said this before, and people think I'm crazy, but with the way the younger generation views our country, we may have seen our last Republican President.

Meh, when things start to get out of whack, the parties just shift right or left a little to put things back in balance. Hell, for most of election night this year it looked like Trump was going to win.

Hawley and Cruz are toast after supporting the "Big Lie". Jesus, Cruz actually lies as much as trump and graham.
