Don't speak so soon. I expect Trump to be formally nominated soon and I expect him to win.

I'm not great at these predictions, so let's hope I'm wrong. But doing that completely wipes out any analysis of how embarrassing this is, etc. and gives a huge boost to the base. I think they are shooting it down behind closed doors, but if someone formally nominates him on the floor, watch out.


This is silly. Trump lacks any of the skillset needed to get anything done in a legislative body. He wouldn’t be able to broker compromise within his own party. He lacks focus and attention to detail. He doesn’t think strategically. He needs immediate gratification.

Remember his briefings are to be nothing more than a page with bullet points. He lacks a basic understanding of virtually any policy. He doesn’t actually like doing any hard work. Other than that …



PP here - all of this is 100% true. And none of it matters. Didn't matter when he was President. So while I think and hope it's farfetched/won't happen, I don't think it's silly.

He's done it before. No idea why his mouth is so firmly attached to Trump's posterior, still.

What if 6 moderate Republicans just left for a beer during the next vote?
They wouldn’t have to be on the record at all.

Quite often misattributed to Einstein. It actually was coined by cosmonaut, 5-time NBA Hall-of-Famer and Titanic survivor George Santos at the time he taught the Wright Brothers to fly.

Neither of them are or ever will be famous. They are notorious. Huge difference.


Gaetz, qualifies for infamous.
