Are there any still in the party? Who are they? I'm seriously trying to think of a Republican that wasn't excommunicated and hasn't chopped his balls off and handed them to Trump? Hogan, I guess in Maryland comes to mind, but there's exactly a 0% chance that Republicans would ever nominate someone like him. Your definition of moderate and mine probably differ, but I'd love to see Nikki Haley, Larry Hogan or even Dan Crenshaw. The problem with primary challengers to Trump is that they all need his white working class vote to win in the general election. So, many will wait until after 2024 to run...thus leaving the field weak for Trump to run against. That being said, I talk to a lot of middle class Republicans and the large majority tell me that they won't vote for Trump no matter what. If a decent candidate does decide to challenge Trump, I think they have a very good chance. The Republicans primary out anyone but Trump and I think Biden get's slaughtered in the polls.

Yes I forgot his other egregious violations like not being directly involved in the January 6th massacre, not being a Russian plant, not getting peed on by hookers (my favorite), that one time he shuffled to the front of the photo op in Europe, and tossing TP like a foul shot....what else am I missing? Meanwhile Biden has crashed the economy, crashed his bicycle, had his signature legislation fail, embarrassed us multiple times on the international stage and gotten our people killed, and is clearly riddled with dementia so much that he cant be on his own and cant really read anymore.... A true hero

Aside from Hogan, none of those candidates are remotely moderate. They supported, or directly worked for, a fascist. They're radicals. And the primary discussion is irrelevant. Any challenger has a 0% chance against Trump because there isn't going to be a primary. It's going to be handed to him and the right will eat it up.

Yes, because you so eloquently and effectively speak for the right. Back to the narrative we go.

October 5, 20224 yr I just don't see it as Biden Trump again. Trump will hopefully be convicted of a crime(s) and unable to run, and sorry, Uncle Joe cannot possibly keep up this pace, plus run a campaign. Let's face it, at some point he should be declared unable to hold the office. We're not there yet but i fear it's coming. Just watching him today getting off M1 he greeted the 1st person, saw him turn around and signaled to someone else and he handed him something. I'm guessing it's a few notes as to either who is who, or perhaps the schedule of where and what he's doing.

You just won't admit it because then you'd be forced to defend Trump and you want to give it a year or so before you have to dive in head first.

October 5, 20224 yr 1 minute ago, The Norseman said: Well..if you say so For as much of an ass kicking 2020 was, it was still far, far, far closer than it had any business being. The margin of victory should've been 14% instead of 4%. And there's only one reason for that, trumpbots are the dumbest, most gullible political faction in the history of mankind. Anyone who voted for Trump twice, but now suddenly claims they won't do it a third time, should be assumed to be 100% full of ish until proven otherwise.

This narrative that all Conservatives are closet MAGA rallygoers is just flat out inaccurate. If they had a viable alternative I think you'd see a real shift.
