    Default GOP goes GOT: Republicans plotting to overthrow Trump in 2020

    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/05/u...sse-pence.html

    WASHINGTON — Senators Tom Cotton and Ben Sasse have already been to Iowa this year, Gov. John Kasich is eyeing a return visit to New Hampshire, and Mike Pence’s schedule is so full of political events that Republicans joke that he is acting more like a second-term vice president hoping to clear the field than a No. 2 sworn in a little over six months ago.

    President Trump’s first term is ostensibly just warming up, but luminaries in his own party have begun what amounts to a shadow campaign for 2020 — as if the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue weren’t involved.

    The would-be candidates are cultivating some of the party’s most prominent donors, courting conservative interest groups and carefully enhancing their profiles. Mr. Trump has given no indication that he will decline to seek a second term.

    But the sheer disarray surrounding this presidency — the intensifying investigation by the special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and the plain uncertainty about what Mr. Trump will do in the next week, let alone in the next election — have prompted Republican officeholders to take political steps unheard-of so soon into a new administration.
    ...
    But in interviews with more than 75 Republicans at every level of the party, elected officials, donors and strategists expressed widespread uncertainty about whether Mr. Trump would be on the ballot in 2020 and little doubt that others in the party are engaged in barely veiled contingency planning.

    “They see weakness in this president,” said Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona. “Look, it’s not a nice business we’re in.”
    ...

    In the wider world of conservative Trump opponents, William Kristol, editor at large of The Weekly Standard, said he had begun informal conversations about creating a “Committee Not to Renominate the President.”

    “We need to take one shot at liberating the Republican Party from Trump, and conservatism from Trumpism,” Mr. Kristol said.
    That even Mike "Faux Christian" Pence eyeing a 2020 run in opposition to Trump is pretty damned hilarious.
    In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

    Ya seriously "think" this is news......Politicians and fascists plotting to overthrow TRUMP? Progressive "my ass"...You mean "regressive"....you mean repressive....you mean repeaters? Some call themselves PROgressive meaning to move forward yet they use left wing playbooks from the 30s, from the 60s and they never learn a damn thing even from the acts they preform..they simply continue to "REGURGITATE" the same montage over and over and over. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zT0Rjc6jKCg


    A Poll from a democrat based trash media source....Politico...who polled primarily dem voters...surprise 52% thought TRUMP was doing a good job as president in march. If I were you I'd be concentrating on not losing anymore of your base than the RUST BELT that you have already lost. Why a poll from a few months ago? It proves that "ordinary people" don't have a plan to unseat Trump....its the fascist supporters and corrupt politicians that are constantly plotting to overthrow anything they can't that might enrich their power or wealth.

    We've been trying to tell you sycophantic Leftwingers that the repub pols are, for the most part,, members of the ruling elite that oppose Pres. Trump

    You finally get it.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    Do you think this is something most of us haven't already known? Do you think we thought that the Bill Kristol's of the world would go quietly?

    What is more astonishing to me is that your hatred of Trump has clouded your thinking to align with people you claim to hate. You remember Bill Kristol don't you? He is the neocon who helped guide us into the Iraq War which you liberals claim was the biggest blunder ever?

    Yet here you are climbing into bed with the neocon's neocon because you are butthurt over losing an election.

    This says more about you and your sour grapes than anything else. Please do let us know when you have some real news to share

    Yet....you retorted to that you could not read? Really? That's not a bi-polar contradiction at all.
    Exactly....you don't comprehend "middle America" and you continue to wonder why the democrats have lost over 1000 seats of government power, the presidency, both houses, scotus....and their propaganda power of the media since 2009? LMAO.

    Of course you, just like the Clinton's find the truth "deplorable" and incomprehensible. Funny as hell...you just demonstrated the truth of the post you could not understand.....YOU NEVER LEARN from your mistakes you simply repeat them to ad nauseam....and then call it PROGRESS? Really? FYI: If you never learn from your mistakes in middle America you are doomed to continually repeat them. Thanks for the "expected" OBJECT LESSON IN LIBERALISM 101.

    No wonder TRUMP has a middle American base that does not falter.....you can't fix what you "think" is not broken....its not YOUR FAULT that you lost the election...its not that you lost the rust belt, the supposed blue wall by your mistakes of comprehension (the people did not want to hear about gay rights, transgender bath rooms, jobs for illegal mexs, or about Trumps sexual habits...they wanted to know what happened to their jobs, the support from the so called people's party the democrats).....TRUMP delivered by simply whispering into their ears the things YOU FORGOT to talk about when you called them DEPLORABLE. Its those damn Russian's....not YOU.

    this doesn't surprise me. the deep state is insidious. bill kristol especially is a huge piece of shit and a whinny baby. I really want to know what he lost. What pipeline didn't get built? Who isn't getting killed that he really wants to die?

    Liberals, I know you hate trump, put that aside for a moment.

    Do you think bill kristol is offended over mexican judge comments? Is that really his hang up? Republicans have been using dog whistle politics for 50 years.

    Now we have the romneys and kristols hyperventilating. What war does this guy want to start? it's fucking scary if you ask me.

    In any case they would really have to promise something big to trump to get him not to run. If they fucked him trump would fuck them back and spite run as a third candidate and torpedo the republicans chances anyway. Maybe republicans would be happy to lose to a democrat though, it's pretty much the uniparty at this point anyway.

    Ted Kennedy ran against Carter and Buchannan ran against H.W. Bush. Not sure how this is deep state stuff. Politicians are opportunist, even among their own party. When you see a President in the current standing of Trump of course people are going to be ready to pounce if he fails.
