As we write this post we will hazard a prediction. Next week the “Donald” is expected to make a major announcement. He’s hinting that he will become a candidate for the 2024 presidency. Because the GOP feels that such an announcement might affect the Georgia senate run-off election in December between Warnock and Walker they are asking him to delay any statement. The truth is: Trump’s failure to successfully support “election deniers” this week shows that he is politically dead. But worse than that, he is a major liability to the GOP because he threatens to split the Republican voter base. Some are leaning toward DeSantis of Florida; some favor Trump; and some haven’t decided. With the 8 million Democratic vote plurality in the last election, splitting the GOP vote will clearly be a disaster in the next election. Face it. Trump knows he can raise campaign funds as long as he holds himself out as a potential candidate. He’s probably using those funds to pay legal and business expenses. So here’s our prediction…If Trump announces his candidacy he will cause the GOP to support eliminating him asap. They will do this by back room tactics in the New York and Georgia legal proceedings. They may even help to pin the January 6th riot on him by testimony from secret witnesses who are offered immunity. They need to convict him and eliminate legally his eligibility WITHOUT LOSING HIS SUPPORTERS. The GOP has two short years to position a new candidate, choose a running mate, set up a campaign strategy, and fund the new presidential “ticket”. They can’t do that with a dead body on the stage. It’s simply too distracting.
