I'm cautiously optimistic about this. It wouldn't surprise me if Trump and DeSantis came to some sort agreement and Trump had him as his VP. Or if Trump came to an agreement with the GOP establishment and chose not to run altogether. Either way people need to show up and show out at ballot booths come 2024. Can't let either of these fascists anywhere near the presidency.
Trump sent a mob after his last VP. I don’t know who in their right mind would accept this job.

On the flip side, Pence still won’t fully attack Trump so it’s hard not to see how the Republicans could still fall in line even with this dust up.

Uncertain grounds
Let them fight!

:blessed:

McCarthy claimed he had the votes to be speaker, but CNN reported he doesn’t.

:sas2:

I was saying that with a slim gop house lead that MTG and her caucus were the biggest winners on election night

They're going to be like Manchin was for Senate dems

Outsized influence

“Donald Trump has proven himself to be dishonest, disloyal, incompetent, crude and a lot of other things that alienate so many independents and Republicans. Even a candidate who campaigns from his basement can beat him."

That last line’s a callback to a common Republican attack on President Joe Biden during the 2020 election, when many of his events were virtual due to the pandemic.

Brooks was loyal to Trump throughout the cycle and repeated the ex-president’s false accusations of election fraud, speaking at the Jan. 6 rally and urging the crowd to “stop at the Capitol” on their way home.
