If someone like Mark Sanford wins the repub nomination

[wasupaloopa]

it will mean a whole new ballgame.

Seems to me that running on that fact that you can beat trump isn’t enough. You also need to be prepared to take on real life conservatives.

And there will be no crossovers in that case.

It could happen that Repubs do get rid of trump in impeachment in order to get a challenger to the Dem.

1. Nothing to worry about there

Even SC Republicons hate Sanford for not helping Katie Arrington keep the seat he lost to her in the primary, ushering in Democratic representative Joe Cunningham.

And Wimpy Weld ain't goin' nowhere neither.

2. Where? In Argentina?

Though to be fair, and with the right in almost total disarray down there (including a president, just trounced, seriously considering resigning to avoid a second round), he might just have a chance.

But only at the nomination.

3. I think it's a reasonable concern that someone other than trump will be nominee.

Odds are it will be trump, unless GOPers think they are doomed nationally and locally because of trump.

We’ll just have to see. I think most of our candidates will fare well even if trump drops out.

4. The old Kasich switcheroo is one to fear

But yes, once the GOP thinks Trump is a liability, they will have a strategy, though it might not be executable because Trump has something on every one of them and no one is going to tame his ego and narcissism. Doing it for the good of the party is an alien concept to Trump.

Trump is also vulnerable to health issues, hair dye issues.

5. Best case scenario for us

would be someone running as an Independent. There are any number of people that could pull enough votes away from Trump.

8. Isnt Schultz still talking about that?

10. No, they won't pull away comitted Republicans and it gives those who are

queasy about voting for Trump for any number of reason another choice other than a Democrat to vote for...we could use those vote.

6. Hopefully maggots will go on a hike down the Appalachian Trail.

7. Ridiculous

Trump has a 90% + approval among Repubs, who choose the nominee, sonhow couid trump lose?

[Demsrule86]

9. Sanford will never beat Trump...there will be no other nominee...so it is all about beating Trump.
