Republicans Want Trump Convicted and 'Out of Their Way'
BY THOMAS KIKA ON 11/13/22 AT 10:59 AM EST

Former President Donald Trump's midterm failures may have eroded the Republican support he was counting on to avoid a criminal conviction, according to one attorney.

Trump has long been reported to be planning an early 2024 presidential campaign announcement as a way to stave off potential prosecution from the numerous investigations mounting against him. His hope had purportedly been to ride a wave of midterm GOP success into the announcement, but with Democrats posting historically strong results over the last week, Trump's future as a Republican figurehead and his 2024 candidacy have been cast into doubt.

In a report published on Sunday, The Daily Beast spoke with numerous current and former attorneys and general legal experts about the situation facing Trump. Most said that his plan to avoid criminal prosecution by running for reelection would do him no good, as the various investigations arrayed against him are too far along. Reports previously indicated that Attorney General Merrick Garland was looking to indict Trump after the midterms, to avoid swaying voter opinions, but before the start of the 2024 election cycle.

One expert The Daily Beast spoke to, retired attorney and conservative Eric Owens, said that the situation is even worse for Trump than he might imagine, as Republicans now have a potential motive for seeing him convicted and taken off the political battlefield. have strategic reasons to support a potential conviction of the former president following their disastrous midterm performances.

"I do think Trump believes he can avoid prosecution by running for president and causing delays," Owens said. "That's another Trump strategy: Delay and run out the clock. But many Republicans simply have a selfish and practical interest in seeing Trump prosecuted and convicted—for anything, really. They want him out of their way either for their ambition or because he is clearly dragging the party down with bad candidates."

I hope he runs and loses the Republican nomination and then decides to run as an independent. He'll fleece his flock and make a bundle but he'll lose the vote again and be a three time loser.

AND split the vote so whoever the (D)s run, even if it's tired ol' Joe, will win.

America wins!
 
He runs under his newly created MAGA party and outs all the dirt on every Republican in power



Then he and the criminals who stay with him are arrested for their crimes


Leaving the republicans and party in an unredeemable heap
 
No one should do a damn thing to help Conservatives move on from the monster they spent 40 years creating.

FUCK THEM ALL.

Yep and the Republicans know Trump will split the vote and hand the election to the dems so they will try their hardest to make Trump look bad.

That'll be something I can't wait to see.

Oooh! Great scenario! Yes, I'd love it.

Sadly, Trump has repeatedly proved himself to be a narcissistic coward more afraid of appearing as a loser than for standing up for right against wrong.

I doubt he'll announce but agree it would be great if he did.

Agreed, although I doubt Biden will run. Splitting the vote certainly gives Harris or whomever the DNC candidate would be.

The odds favor the Democrats if Harris is running as an incumbent. The odds favor the Republicans in a free-for-all election unless Trump is the candidate.

If it's a free-for-all, I expect DeSantis to be the candidate and to win...unless criminal charges shut him down. LOL
 
Until I see convincing evidence otherwise, I am operating on the assumption Republicans will eventually crawl back to Trump on their hands and knees.

Good call. He's already threatened to do that to DeSantis.

DeSantis isn't going to be the guy because he's too short.

Like, that is the reason he won't win...he's a tiny little elf man.

He says he's 5'9'', but that's his lifts. He's probably more like 5'6'' or lower.

You can't tell because he's never standing next to taller people, or he makes taller people stand in the back. Dude is too short. Kamala Harris would dwarf him on stage.

Then the right can start fresh and drop all the stupid lie backed corporate whore shuffle dance

I think you're 100% right.

But I think Trump will lose more in 2024 than he did in 2020 if he runs.

It doesn't matter who the Dems run in 2024, they will win because of Trump splitting the vote. The Reps will plead with him not to run because of this but he won't listen.
His ego will be forcing him to run and he won't care if he will be giving the Dems the victory. He'll do it to get back at the Reps for treating him so badly.

Either way, it's a win-win for the Dems and a lose-lose for the Right. it'll be fun to watch.

No need for convicting him, the primaries will weed him out if that's the will of repubs. Why are you people such drama queens?

IF Trump runs. You think Trump is brave enough to face losing, I think he's a cowardly POS who'll say something else at his announcement tomorrow.

OTOH, he might be crazy enough to run...but Ivanka will probably talk him down off the ceiling.
