Do you have any idea what complicity would buy the GOP right now, if they ushered in the loss of Trump?
GOP candidates would get about 20,000 votes this year collectively, and it would be the last year the GOP would be a functioning entity.
If Trump is removed from office, I will NEVER vote for a Republican again.
Trump would be able to run on an Independent ticket, win, and the party would cease to exist.
No more RNC collection phone calls. DONE!
Independent can run for the Senate and House as well.
The (R)s would be replaced in a cycle or two.
“GOP candidates would get about 20,000 votes this year collectively, and it would be the last year the GOP would be a functioning entity.”
I’m not sure of that. If they did the deed within the next month or so, Pence would be the presidential candidate, and the same “conservatives” who voted reluctantly for Romney in 2012 would vote for Pence in November. Most freepers, for example, claim to despise Romney - but they voted for him for president (because the “alternative was worse”). The GOP leadership counts on that kind of sheepleism among the base, and most of the time their expectations are satisfied.
Once Trump is out of office, NY State will have him arrested.
Most of the blue and purple states will pass laws keeping him off the ballot for being under indictment.
