    They’d still need a figurehead to become the President. Who could it even be, without splintering Trump’s coalition into disparate factions?

      If you truly believe this, I don’t know what to tell you. If enough of the Left believe this, we’re lost.

      Ron Desantis will GLADLY step up and take over from Trump. And he’s a bit more competent than the Shitgibbon.

        He can’t win, though. He’s a loser.

        Pretty much all of Trump’s hangers on are losers. They have zero charisma and voters hate them. Without Trump they’re toast.

          Wow. You are sure of yourself there. Absolutely no way at all that Desantis, Haley, or Ramaswamy might not pick up SOME of Trump’s votes? Especially if Trump was assassinated? No chance at all the MAGAts won’t line up behind whoever takes on the reins?

          All I think would need to happen is the candidate stepping in for Trump says he’s gonna make the Left pay by making sure everything Trump was going to do gets done. I don’t share your optimism that assassinating Trump will make our job any easier. In fact, I think there’ll be plenty of Trumpers with rifles looking for a few Liberals to make pay for their guy being killed.

          But you do you. I’m done here.
