Former President Trump’s decision to skip the first Republican presidential primary debate is fueling Republican angst that his rivals will have little opportunity to catch up to him in the polls.

    That won’t happen until long after he’s dead. They’ll prop him up as their golden calf until he can’t speak anymore. Then like a light switch they’ll have never supported him in the slightest and he was the evil man that took control of the GOP and made them look bad for 20 years.

        He has access to better healthcare than 99% of the rest of us. Despite his best efforts I don’t think we’ll be rid of him anytime soon.

          I think he’s going to flee America and do some sort of radio / online media message as a deposed dictator president . And continue to grift until he can’t.

          Unless he has an “attack of conscience” and “commits suicide”. Inside a guarded cell. Where he’s being watched 24/7.

          You know, the usual way.

            That won’t happen as he may turn out to be more dangerous and dead than alive.

            You can stick him in prison and then people can forget about him but if he dies he becomes a martyr.

              There is no scenario where Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump doesn’t wind up with the same historical reputation as that of Benedict Arnold. His crimes were arguably bigger than Arnold’s crimes.

      It might be closer to when he’s no longer a viable candidate. They turned on Bush practically before he was out of office

        Convicted Sex Offender Loser Trump will lose to Biden again by an even bigger margin, and then exhaust his criminal appeals, then go to jail for the rest of his life. The every GOP voter will suddenly claim they never really supported Convicted Sex Offender Loser Trump.
