There is unhappiness with Trump after his 2022 announcement that he is running for a third time failed to catch fire.
Put bluntly, one GOP strategist explained, "The early ’22 announcement was a historic flop. Talk about how not to create momentum."
Trump insiders agree and admitted that finances and Trump's attitude have become huge obstacles to turning things around.
According to Sherman, "I spoke with a half dozen Republicans close to Trump, and the consensus is that his campaign is a 'mess,' to borrow a preferred Trump epithet. “He is in a weird bunker and doesn’t want to go anywhere. Even the inner circle is worried he’s getting no traction at all."
“Literally nothing. It’s like it’s not even happening,” agreed a Republican Party strategist.
According to one former Trump administration official, donations -- the lack of them -- is becoming a problem by stating, "Money is a real issue.”
"Even if the financial situation improves, Trump allies worry he has already committed a series of baffling, self-destructive blunders. 'Trump completely overexposed himself with all those stupid midterm endorsements,' another 2016 campaign veteran told me," Sherman added.

Yeah, Trump's served his purpose for the GOP. He's shown them that there is no bottom to the barrel that can be scraped so now the GOP no longer needs his brand of moron. They can find new, more qualified jackasses to conduct their jackassery.
Trump, sadly, was too stupid to see that his value to the GOP had a limited shelf-life. He simply gave away the secret TOO SOON.

Here's the problem. If the pachys don't nominate the diseased orangutan, they'll just nominate some other insufferable asshole;
and that insufferable asshole will be supported by tens of millions republican troglodytes who shouldn't even be roaming about freely, never mind voting.
Voting was conceived as a process for reasonably sane people, a frightful minority in all red states..

But the key is that they are going to elect a SMART insufferable asshole and then REAL damage can be done.
Yup. I recall at one point hearing long ago that the Electoral College was put in place, not just to balance the interests of small vs large states, but also as a moderator for the "passions" of the mob. Clearly 2016 showed that no such guardrail function exists as the mob was allowed to elect America's first TV president.Voting was conceived as a process for reasonably sane people, a frightful minority in all red states..

Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

LOL. Well, indeed I AM wonderful. You can't even imagine how wonderful I am. My presence makes flowers bloom, young women swoon, ducklings dance and a bison there in underpants! Why it was written long ago that my birth would be the advent of a new reality! I am, for lack of a better word, the most wonderful man ALIVE!
