It's still amazing to me that the GOP just doesn't put an end to tRump. So far his VP, SecDef, SecState, former Chiefs of Staff, GOP megadonors, etc., have all come out against him publicly.
I think they just don't want to be the ones to make a martyr out of him. If they let the democrats do it they can use it to their advantage, if they do it they split the support of their base and will have to spend years trying to recover POOTWH base.

This on its own is huge....should be the big story on all major news networks
It’s big, but not to the cult. They’ve rejected every single one of these concerns the whole time. That’s what will make this entertaining. The republican candidates have to try and walk the line to try and appease the maga freaks along with the ones who’ve rejected Trump

That's going to be my mantra for awhile...."what bills have the GOP House proposed to combat inflation? gas prices?"
What bills has the GOP proposed to fix immigration?
Just kidding... we all know they don't want to fix immigration. The border crises is great for stoking the fear of brown people. Gotta keep the base angry and afraid.

Imagine this, if you will. My, how far we have fallen. From WaPo:
Michael Gerson, a speechwriter for President George W. Bush who helped craft messages of grief and resolve after 9/11, then explored conservative politics and faith as a Washington Post columnist writing on issues as diverse as President Donald Trump’s disruptive grip on the GOP and his own struggles with depression, died Nov. 17 at a hospital in Washington. He was 58.
At first it was just the thrill of the political “high-wire excitement,” Mr. Gerson said. Then he found a kindred soul in Bush during a campaign stop in Gaffney, S.C., when someone in the crowd asked how to block undocumented migrants at the southern border.
Bush “took the opportunity to remind his rural, conservative audience that ‘family values don’t stop at the Rio Grande,’ ” Mr. Gerson wrote, “and that as long as ‘moms and dads’ in Mexico couldn’t feed their children at home, they would seek opportunity in America.”
Trump bid nets tough reaction from some former media friends
By DAVID BAUDER
Yesterday
NEW YORK (AP) — Not all of his friends have abandoned him, but the harsh media reaction to former President Donald Trump's announcement that he's seeking the top office again illustrates that if he wants his old job back, he has a lot of convincing to do.
“I've been aggregating stories from right-wing media since 2017,” said Howard Polskin, founder of The Righting newsletter. “I've never seen Trump receive such negative coverage from these outlets. It's not only negative, some of the headlines are downright insulting to him.”
Consider Wednesday's epic troll from the New York Post, the newspaper owned by conservative media magnate Rupert Murdoch that has turned sharply against Trump since last week's midterm elections.
“Florida Man Makes Announcement,” was the headline running across the bottom of the front page, directing readers to an article on Page 26.
“There is nobody who knows better than Rupert Murdoch that the way to upset Donald Trump is not to say his name,” Maggie Haberman, reporter for The New York Times and author of “Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America,” said on CNN.
The FoxNews.com website midday Wednesday was dominated by a picture of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, showered in red, white and blue confetti. It illustrated an article about the “enthusiastic response” DeSantis received at a GOP event.
Readers needed to scroll down further for an article about Trump's announcement.
The Wall Street Journal, like Fox another Murdoch-controlled property, editorialized earlier in the week against another Trump run. But it played his announcement straight on Wednesday, giving it front-page play.
Trump's announcement coincided with Sean Hannity's prime-time program on Fox News Channel, far and away the most popular media outlet for conservative viewers — and proof that Trump still has friends in powerful places and that there’s a long way to go before the next election. Hannity interrupted Trump two-thirds of the way through the announcement speech — not to abandon him, but to praise him.
“This was an absolutely brilliant speech,” said Hannity guest Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor. “The best I've heard in a long time.”
“It sounded presidential,” agreed analyst Joe Concha.
Fox then returned to the speech.
The Newsmax network aired Trump's speech in full. Its website later wrote that in making the announcement, the former president was “turning a deaf ear to establishment calls to hold off or Democrat efforts to stop him.”
CNN aired about a third of Trump's speech live on Tuesday night before cutting it off. Analyst Tim Neftali said “this is TelePrompter Trump,” noting that he seemed to lack the energy he usually shows at rallies.
“I have a feeling that the midterm is depressing him terribly,” Neftali said.
MSNBC talked about Trump, but didn't air the speech. Broadcast networks stuck with their regular programming.
Mainstream news outlets pulled no punches. In the lead to its announcement story, The Washington Post described Trump as “the twice-impeached former president who refused to concede defeat and inspired a failed attempt to overthrow the 2020 election culminating in a deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol.”
Similarly, the top to a story on NPR's website said Trump “tried to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election and inspired a deadly riot at the Capitol in a desperate attempt to keep himself in power.”
A lengthy lead to The New York Times story said Trump's “historically divisive presidency shook the pillars of the country's Democratic institutions” and said he ignored the appeals of Republicans who blame him for the party's poor showing in the midterms.
In a news analysis, the Los Angeles Times said Trump “has reverted to a familiar tactic — meeting weakness with hubris.”
Away from the coasts, the Houston Chronicle led the paper with an account of Trump's announcement by The Associated Press. Neither the Charlotte Observer in North Carolina and Las Vegas Sun in Nevada mentioned Trump on their front pages, and the Chicago Tribune teased an article inside the paper.

“No collusion.” ”Only the guilty plead the fifth.” ”I thought he was Israeli.” ”No quid pro quo.”
“So much winning.”
A Republican political strategist was convicted of illegally helping a Russian businessman contribute to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign in 2016.
Jesse Benton, 44, was pardoned by Trump in 2020 for a different campaign finance crime, months before he was indicted again on six counts related to facilitating an illegal foreign campaign donation. He was found guilty Thursday on all six counts.
Elections “reflect the values and the priorities and the beliefs of American citizens,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Michelle Parikh said in her closing argument this week. “Jesse Benton by his actions did damage to those principles.”
The evidence at trial showed that Benton bought a $25,000 ticket to a September 2016 Republican National Committee (RNC) event on behalf of Roman Vasilenko, a Russian naval officer turned multilevel marketer. (Vasilenko is under investigation in Russia for allegedly running a pyramid scheme, according to the Kommersant newspaper; he could not be reached for comment.) The donation got Vasilenko a picture with Trump and entrance to a “business roundtable” with the future president.
Vasilenko connected with Benton through Doug Wead, an evangelical ally of the Bush family who was also involved in multilevel marketing. Vasilenko sent $100,000 to Benton, who was working for a pro-Trump super PAC at the time, supposedly for consulting services. Benton subsequently donated $25,000 to the RNC by credit card to cover the ticket.
Witnesses from the RNC and the firm hired to organize the event said they weren’t told Vasilenko was a Russian citizen. Benton said in an email to his RNC contact that Vasilenko was “a friend who spends most of his time in the Caribbean”; he described Vasilenko’s interpreter as “a body gal.” In fact, according to the testimony, Benton and Vasilenko had never met.
Benton argued that he followed the advice of his previous counsel, David A. Warrington, who has also represented Trump. Warrington testified that Benton contacted him at the time to ask if he could give a ticket to a political fundraiser to a Russian citizen. Warrington said he told Benton “there is no prohibition on a Russian citizen receiving a ticket to an event” and that “you can give your ticket that you purchased to a fundraiser to anybody.”
And herein lies the Randy Paul wub. Remember, every “outrage” is a projection. Deep State indeed. But hey, what’s the score on diddling kids, by the way, considering Hillary and Comet Pizza?
From the above previously posted WaPo article. Talk about rot.
Benton began his career on the GOP’s libertarian fringe as an aide to former congressman Ron Paul (R-Tex.), whose granddaughter is Benton’s wife. He gained mainstream credibility helping Paul’s son, Rand Paul (R-Ky.), win a Senate seat in 2010 and was hired by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) 2014 reelection campaign.

Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager acquitted of homicide related to the killing of two people in Kenosha, Wis., during a 2020 protest there, met with a group of House Republicans in the Second Amendment Caucus on Thursday evening.
Rittenhouse joined the lawmakers at a gathering at the Conservative Partnership Institute office near the Capitol, a common gathering hub for conservative Republicans. Rittenhouse shared his story and held a question-and-answer session with members of the group.

Trump reacts angrily to special counsel move: ‘I’m not going to partake in it’
‘This is a disgrace and only happening because I am leading in every poll in both parties,’ former president says
“I have never heard of such a thing. They found nothing. I announce and then they appoint a special prosecutor. They found nothing, and now they take some guy who hates Trump. This is a disgrace and only happening because I am leading in every poll in both parties and I am not going to go through it anymore.”
“appalling” and a “horrendous abuse of power — the latest in a long list of witch hunts.”

Former President Trump's candidacy could instantly jeopardize both the presidential race and control of Congress for Republicans, based on exit polls and midterm results.
Why it matters: Republicans will face continuing pressure to nominate fringe candidates in primaries which keeps costing the GOP the Senate
What's happening: Trump is a double-edged sword, Axios' Josh Kraushaar writes.
Trump juices turnout massively on the GOP side — but is an epic Democratic voter turnout machine.
And he’s a turnoff for independent voters, who backed Democrats in this year’s midterms against all expectations.
Look at the electoral map in 2024.
Republicans have a great opening to win back the Senate — Dems hold 23 of the 33 Senate seats in 2024. But the GOP needs electable nominees in the swing states.
This election showed that Trump and Trump-like candidates turn off independent voters in eminently winnable places.
What we're watching: With Trump running, the pressure to back him in primaries — or face consequences — will be intense and omnipresent.
Given the dominance of activists in primaries, there's a good chance of more Dr. Oz-type candidates.
What we're hearing: Republican operatives fear Trump is so damaged with the general-election electorate that he could lose to a Democrat — even during a recession.
Another fear GOP operatives have: If Trump loses in the primary, he could sabotage the winner either by running as a third-party candidate — or trashing the winning nominee relentlessly and turning off his voters.
Zoom in: In '24, Democrats will be defending 23 of the 33 Senate seats in play. Holding those Democratic seats will mean winning in a raft of red and purple states:
Arizona, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
What's next: Waiting in the wings are a bunch of MAGA-aligned candidates who could struggle with independent voters.
Rep. Alex Mooney, a hardline conservative, is challenging Sen. Joe Manchin. West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey is also expected to run, after losing to Manchin in his last election.
In Arizona, Freedom Caucus leader Rep. Andy Biggs is often touted as a potential candidate. His far-right posture is reminiscent of the two losing Arizona GOP nominees in 2022 — Kari Lake and Blake Masters.

NEW YORK (AP) — Not all of his friends have abandoned him, but the harsh media reaction to former President Donald Trump's announcement that he's seeking the top office again illustrates that if he wants his old job back, he has a lot of convincing to do.
Just glance at some headlines: “Trump Shocks the World by Nearly Putting Us to Sleep,” said the RedState blog. “Old Mar-a-Lago Man Yells at Cloud,” said the American Conservative. “Donnie, Time to Go Away,” said Blue State Conservative. “Trump 3.0 is a Changed Man. He's a Loser,” said the Washington Examiner.
“No,” simply read the National Review headline.
And those are conservative organizations.
“I've been aggregating stories from right-wing media since 2017,” said Howard Polskin, founder of The Righting newsletter. “I've never seen Trump receive such negative coverage from these outlets. It's not only negative, some of the headlines are downright insulting to him.”
