The January 6 Hearings Are Changing Republicans’ Minds
They want political power. And they’re no longer sure Donald Trump is the best way to get it.

For Republican voters, the January 6 hearings haven’t so much broken through as seeped in, slowly changing opinions about whether former President Donald Trump should be the GOP nominee in 2024.
I conducted dozens of focus groups of Trump 2020 voters in the 17 months between the storming of the Capitol on January 6 and when the hearings began in June. One measure was consistent: At least half of the respondents in each group wanted Trump to run again in 2024. The prevailing belief was that the 2020 election was stolen—or at least unfair in some way—and Trump should get another shot.
But since June, I’ve observed a shift. I’ve conducted nine focus groups during this period, and found that only 14 percent of Trump 2020 voters wanted him to run in 2024, with a few others on the fence. In four of the groups, zero people wanted Trump to run again. Their reasoning is clear: They’re now uncertain that Trump can win again.
“He’s just too divisive and controversial,” a participant in Washington State said about Trump. “There are good candidates out there waiting to shine.”

A participant in Wyoming said, “I feel like there’s too many people against him right now. He’s never gonna make it … So I feel like somebody else needs to step in that has similar views, but not as big of an ego—who people like, I guess.”
“At first I thought I would” want him to run again, an Arizona participant said. “I think it’s time to move on.”
 
One of the reasons some Trump voters want to “move on” from Trump is that they find him—and the resulting chaotic media environment—exhausting. In a focus group with Ohio voters, one participant said, “I do not want four more years of ‘orange man bad’ and everybody screaming about every time he tweets—and believe me, he did some really bad tweets. I don’t want four more years of that.”
This comment prompted another participant to say, “After hearing what you said, it makes more sense to maybe not want Trump there for certain reasons. When you bring back all of that, it makes me think again.”
These voters have roughly the same attitude toward the January 6 hearings that they did to both impeachments (during which I also regularly conducted focus groups). They believe they’re a witch hunt and a “dog and pony show.” They believe they are designed to make Trump and Republicans look bad. Only a few had watched some of the hearings before turning them off in disgust.
But unlike the impeachment hearings, which in some ways made GOP voters more defensive of Trump, the accumulating drama of the January 6 hearings—which they can’t avoid in social-media feeds—seems to be facilitating not a wholesale collapse of support, but a soft permission to move on.

Yep, it has the feel of Watergate Hearings when people started bailing on Nixon. The Republicans realize they can't win with a candidate who was impeached twice, lost the popular vote in two presidential elections and is being investigated by the Justice Dept for attempting to illegally overturn the results of a legitimate election to stay in power.

Poor anchovies, in all your blind hatred for Trump, be very careful what you wish for as that replacement individual could just make Trump look like a leftie.
One can only sit back and watch as you unwittingly screw yourselves.

I doubt that anyone other than Trump wants to turn this country into an autocracy. All these years you denigrated a Presid isent like Chavez, or Castro, but that exactly what you want from Trump.

AG Garland finally gave an interview this week. He finally realized the Trump is a real danger and playing hands-off is not the job of the Attorney General.

I doubt he was playing hands-off. He was doing his job but that doesn't include updating the media on the status of his investigation.
