With McConnell saying he thinks he's guilty of provoking insurrection may mean there is sufficient support to prevent Trump ever taking public office again.Let us note that it is only some of the actors of this current Republican administration that caused the problems. Any ruling party needs an effective opposition as a counterweight, or ahead lies tyranny... and that includes the Democrats. Edited January 20 by StringJunky 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I agree but I think Trump's threat is likely a veiled flexing of his potential political muscle against those Republicans who might support some future punitive action for his clearly seditious efforts against Biden's presidential confirmation.

Recent...as in the history made on the steps and in the houses of Congress just a few short weeks ago. It was a insurrection fostered by a false narrative propagated by Republican leadership in both the Legislative and Executive branches of our nation's government.

MigL 1493 Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 36 minutes ago, geordief said: Cheney? D Cheney has had a political career spanning over 40 years, like J Biden. He was everyone's favorite whipping boy during the G W Bush Presidency, for having too much power as VP, and pulling the strings of his 'marionette' President. Then along comes D Trump, his VP M Pence, and a good portion of the Republican party, to make G W Bush and D Chaney look like eloquent and stable statesmen in comparison. Who'd have thunk it ...

But anyone in the Republican party who really understands Trump also knows that Trump would expect to be the major candidate for that new party. If you strip him of the ability to run for federal office again, you would remove his interest in forming the new party. Link to post Share on other sites
