  trump is like a wet fart in a sealed and confined space for the GOP. They aren’t going to be able to get rid of that stink so easily.
context: Two words: independent run. He won't be silenced. You reap what you sow, and it's harvest time. >
  
  I doubt that getting convicted, jailed and barred from holding office would stop him from running.
  He's that vindictive. >
  
  Any idea if you win an election from jail what happens? Are you set free or run office from prison? >
  
  President can’t have criminal convictions. >
  
  Off topic, but question from a German redditor:
  In Texas and Florida, do they allow people to carry samurai swords or lances in the shopping mall? Or is it just ARs and shotguns? >
  
  I do believe you can carry a whole sword like some mall-ninja doofus. >
  
  I’d prefer samurai/ninja cosplay to hillbilly/redneck/trailer trash cosplay any day of the week. 
  At least samurais, ninjas and knights had a rich cultural history, unlike those uneducated people >
  
  But neither one showers... >
  
  They had the opportunity on a platter.  Twice! >
  
  They'll have a third by voting to bar him from running won't they? >
  
  If he tries to run as an independent after losing to desantis in the primaries, I wouldn’t be surprised if they finally tried to ban him. >
  
  Why can't Republicans come up with a decent human being to run for president >
  
  I think Larry Hogan is planning a run and he's actually a decent human being - one of the few I can cite. I disagreed with a lot of his fiscal policies overall, but he led the state pretty well and with compassion during the pandemic. I don't think he will do well with the national direction the GOP is going, though. >
  
  Hogan is too sane for the current rethug party. >
  
  Man, what a tricky line. They’re going to have to pretend to keep kissing Trump’s ass while doing underhanded things like supporting our legal system and fair elections. It can never work. >
  
  As always with the GOP, it’s a race to the bottom of who can out racist, out hate and out divide. >
  
  Good luck. You will never sway that 35% of kookoos. >
  
  I've already seen several DeSantis flags in my red state while traveling over the holidays.  They used to be trump flags.  My point is that those 35 percent really like flags. >
  
  Destroy and abolish the Republican Party. >
  
  They do know the more of them get in the race the better his odds in a primary where pluralities win, right? >
  
  Hopefully the rate at which the GOP is turning on him means that he's done, and the resulting fallout cripples them too. >
  
  The tumor may be shrinking, but the cancer has metastasized >
  
  Here's hoping he releases all of the embarrassing kompromat he has on all of them - and vice-versa. >
  
  Imagine if they had listened to those radical leftist 8 years ago >
  
  Trump wont play 2nd fiddle to anyone. He'll lock the door and burn the house down with everyone inside. >
  
  You had your chance. Twice. How about supporting his indictment? There’s a third chance. I’m not holding my breath. >
  
  Will Trump leave with Putin? Whatever their exit, same way same time? >
  
  Nasty and chaotic, that is what republicans are; unable to lead, zero ideas, only division, grift, and hatred. They’ve shown the country exactly who they are. >
  
  The problem I see is that Trump’s cult is around 35% of the Republican Party.  Then 5 or so candidates will split up the remaining 65%.  It’s going to be hard to beat him in a multi candidate primary IMO. >
  
  Dump Chump! >
  
  Be pretty easy to dethrone him. Just have to have the DOJ literally do their job instead of pretending..
