And, as we’ve long told John Hinderaker… that possibility (a non Trumpian top of the ’24 GOP ticket) probably is as bad or worse as Trump at the top — in the general. You know, the one that… matters.
Everyone with a working forebrain well-knows Tangerine won’t bow out gracefully, for the good of party (or country — whatever that might now mean to the GOP). Never. Never in his life — not once — has he ever been… magnanimous.
So, yep — all that does, if it is DeSantis, or less probably, Haley… is GUARANTEE a Trump third party declaration — and the MAGAts walk out of the GOP, and thus kill 2024.
It literally won’t matter who the Democratic nominee is. He she or it will… win in a cake walk.
The GOP regulars like Hinderaker, Johnson, Hayward, Stauffer and Mirengoff had, over six years ago — effectively insured this moment… by backing what they knew was a mobster, with zero humility, and utterly lacking in the grace it takes to accept a defeat honorably.
Enjoy the ride, fellas.
