GOP senators are skeptical damaged Trump can win in 2024

In an adversarial set of testimony? I wouldn't have to. The truth is stranger and more damaging than any bullshit I could make up. In support of Biden? It'd be detected too easily. Biden is an utter fuckup in every way.

So you'd lie about Biden?

Why are there no denials?

The damaging revelations of the Jan. 6 committee hearings are fueling skepticism among Senate Republicans that former President Trump can win the GOP nomination in 2024 or even run for another term in the White House.
One Republican senator, who requested anonymity to comment on the former president, said the “cascade” of embarrassing details about Trump’s conduct in the weeks before Jan. 6, 2021, and during the attack on the U.S. Capitol will seriously damage his political viability ahead of the 2024 election.
“I don’t think he’ll run again, and that’s a good thing, because of the whole cascade of events,” the senator said, referring to testimony by former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson that Trump lunged at a Secret Service agent who refused to drive him to the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Hutchinson, an aide to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, is now cooperating with a Justice Department investigation into the Jan. 6 attack, according to media reports.
A second GOP senator, who also requested anonymity, said the overwhelming majority of Republican senators don’t want Trump to be the party’s nominee for president again.
“I could count on one hand the number of Republican senators who want Donald Trump to be our nominee,” said the lawmaker, adding, “I could count it on one finger.”

I wonder if repukes like tRump who were all in on the effort to destroy democracy at doing the bidding of foreign enemies, the enemy from within and the devil are skeptical that all of them will be in a shit hole of U.S. justice by 2024 at doing its own voting when it comes to busting all of them?:

What to expect from the DOJ’s investigation of Donald Trump

In the history of our country, no attorney general has ever prosecuted a former president in federal court for crimes committed while in office.

The Jan. 6 congressional hearings credibly present a damning narrative that then-President Donald Trump was the driving force behind a massive conspiracy to obstruct justice, interfere with the official Jan. 6 congressional proceedings and defraud the citizens of the United States of a fair election outcome.

Some have criticized the pace of the Department of Justice’s investigation, while others insist the public record already clearly supports an indictment and likely conviction of the former president. As to timing, it appears the investigation is proceeding in a deliberate fashion, careful and methodical. Out of fairness to prospective targets, the work of any federal investigation is confidential. Grand jury proceedings require confidentiality. The investigation will take as long as it takes. The attorney general will make a charging decision, whether it takes six weeks or six months, only after collecting and analyzing all the evidence, including the work of the Jan. 6 committee.

DOJ guidelines about the timing of a prosecution in proximity to an election are just that — guidelines. To be sure, these guidelines are important to maintain a degree of uniformity among federal prosecutions and to protect the reputation of the department against charges of favoritism and bias. However, in the end, the attorney general has wide discretion, guided by what is in the interest of justice. "

Other estimates range between 11-15% (8-9 million). I don't remember reading any good analyses of why, but rural areas became more Republican and urban areas more Democratic. In 2020 Biden gain in suburban areas.

That's been a trend for as long as I remember; most of our differences are between Urban and Rural. Urban loves security and big government, Rural likes being left the fuck alone.

Only a moron would think that there were "no revelations" from the Jan 6 committee. Trump is a fucking traitorous, clueless, classless boor who fomented an insurrection. The people who still support him are every bit as traitorous, clueless, classless boors.

I can count on the fingers of one hand the demmycrats who legitimately believe there was anything new in the 1/6 committee "revelations".......

I don’t know, everyone is a strong word, but I think Trump could admit to having father three children with his daughter, and not lose more than a very small amount of votes from Republicans.

How many Republican voters will just sit this one out, as they did in state elections.

I doubt anyone would intentionally lie under oath, and that is exactly why several other member of the Trump cabal have refused to testify. They know the penalties. On the other hand, if trump was called to testify, we could be certain that most every answer would be a lie. The man is incapable of telling the truth.

Or why they pleaded the Fifth. IIRC, Flynn took it 105 times. :laugh:

All Bannon had to do was show up, take the Fifth and leave. Instead, he's on some delusional mission to overthrow the United States. Weird, yes. Much weirder than the JPP idiots who think a Congressional hearing is the same as a criminal court.

Because the other side refused to participate. I wonder why?

The witnesses were almost all very loyal Republicans

Because they are guilty of treason. Anyone who claims the hearings are unfair because Trumpers weren't allowed to participate are either stupid or lying since it appears about 30 of them were asked to testify and ended up pleading the Fifth Amendment.

Never trust a liar and, as evidenced on JPP, all Trumpers are liars and/or insane.

How many Trump insiders pleaded the Fifth in the Jan. 6 probe?
The number of Team Trump insiders who've invoked their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination is much higher than we previously knew.
there are several high-profile figures from Team Trump whom we already knew pleaded the Fifth:

  • John Eastman, a Republican lawyer who allegedly played a leading role in the overall coup scheme, reportedly pleaded the Fifth — by some accounts, roughly 100 times.
  • Roger Stone, a longtime Trump adviser and GOP operative, said two weeks later that he also pleaded the Fifth.
  • Alex Jones, by his own admission, pleaded the Fifth nearly 100 times when the professional conspiracy theorist sat down with congressional investigators.
  • Jeffrey Clark, a former Justice Department official, also pleaded the Fifth, reportedly more than 100 times.
  • Michael Flynn, the beneficiary of a Trump pardon despite having previously pled guilty to felonies, pleaded the Fifth in response to investigators’ questions in March.

If Cheney’s comments were accurate, however, we’re not talking about five people from Team Trump who were concerned about giving self-incriminating answers; we’re talking about 30 such people.
