What are they thinking!

mitch and co think they'll lose 75 million trump voters, I've said it before, half of those held there noses and voted for the asshole. So let's say they convict and ban trump from future runs, they think those 35 million won't just vote for the person with an "R" after their name? Of course they will!! The GOP will be in MUCH bigger trouble if they allow trump to remain a viable candidate. I don't know how they can't see that.

That's what keeps them awake at night. If Trump forms a "Patriot" party he could siphon away over half of the party. It would be a bloodbath for the GOP. He might not be able to run in 2024 but he could still cause them a lot of grief.
