Republicans fear angry Trump 'could sabotage his party again'

By Tom Boggioni

In his column for Intelligencer, political analyst Ed Kilgore predicted Donald Trump will have a very bad day on Tuesday when Georgia voters go to the polls and reject Republican Party candidates who were gifted with his endorsements.

That, in turn, has Republicans worrying how the former president will react as candidates he has vociferously opposed move on to the general election in November.

As Kilgore notes, it is a foregone conclusion that Trump-endorsed David Perdue will fail miserably in his bid to unseat Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) who has been a target of Trump's since Kemp refused to lend a hand to the former president's attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in his favor.

As Kilgore wrote, "Perdue is limping to the finish line in such poor shape that Trump is reportedly writing him off," before adding, "Even the man who recruited Perdue to run against Kemp — former President Donald Trump — seems to have given his campaign up for dead, said three Republicans who have spoken to Trump. They say Trump has groused about what he believes is a lackluster campaign effort from Perdue."

He expects us to sit by as we are invaded by his zombies who will demand we love and praise his orangeass.

We need to do what Australia just did.

his supporters I simply cannot find a single redeeming quality about the man or his supporters. He just a big blowhard who seems barely literate, treats everyone around him like shit, and is an obvious grifter. What could possibly be attractive about someone like this? And yet his supporters seem to bow at his feet.

And I don't get it, either? What does he have to offer? He did nothing, was abusive to anyone who didn't show complete loyalty to his ridiculous schemes and was only in it for the power of the office and, like you said, the money he could grift.

The abuser has the other party so cowed that they are paralyzed with fear of pissing off their abuser.

It's no longer "The Party of Lincoln" - or even Reagan - it's become the party of obstruction, lies and bigotry - which does nothing for the American people, gets nothing done at all.
