Your scenario is plausible. In addition, it has always seemed likely to me that bringing down Pres Trump by any means will naturally result in the complete decimation of the Republican party. The reason this is not being admitted is that the uniparty has that goal in mind anyway. Pres Trump has stripped the no Trumpers in both dem and rep parties bare. Pres Trump is free to go all out with whatever he sees best for America and the citizens who put him in power. God bless Pres Donald Trump.
Thanks. Ryan wears his contempt for Trump on his sleeve. It seems implausible to think that Ryan would be scheming to overthrow Trump.
Back in the Convention time frame Ryan was about to have Trump kicked off the ticket and take his spot (as the nominee)...but then, I guess they did some polling and found that not only would Ryan get demolished in the election due to Trump’s base (by then well over half of the party) staying home, but so would down-ticket Republicans - who, I’m convinced, put an end to that plan and explained to Ryan that he’s not doing Republicans any favors if he boots Trump against the will of Trump’s supporters.
So that brings us today, and the goal of Ryan is the same as the goal of the Democrats, which is to sever the bond between Trump and his voters. The only problem Ryan has is that he’s HATED by the base, so he has to do his scheming behind closed doors.
