Even just yesterday media was confusing obstruction of justice with the actual article here of obstruction of Congress. While they can get by an acquittal of that in slippery fashion, obstruction of federal and state investigations is still in play once he leaves office.

I just don't see that working out for him. The Republican Party has chased out its moderates and liberals in the last decades. If you could skip the primaries you could rebuild the party, but there's no way someone like him wouldn't be destroyed in said primaries.

The only moderate Republicans left are basically in statehouses.

You can't have dissent. Because if one person is allowed to dissent for one extreme thing, others have to be allowed to dissent for other extreme things leading to an avalanche. It has to be wholly unified considering the extremities to which Trump exposed the party to.

That's got to be it. He's banking on the post-Trump days and having a record of sanity/decency during this time to point back to. It's... not a bad plan. I don't know if the Republicans can un-ring that bell, though.

Pretty much. They can't be shown to have cracks in the armor.

This is so great honestly lmao, I can't believe it. The fellating that Romney is gonna get is annoying but what a way to ruin Trump's big day and completely twist the narrative.

Absolutely. The market has artificially decided to prop itself up for as long as it can under Trump and it will absolutely deliberately shit itself under Sanders. (This is not a reason not to elect Sanders.)

I think the market and the economy shits itself after the election regardless of who is in there including Trump. You can only kick the can down the road for so long.

Utah doesn't like Trump, Romney should be commended, but he has significant anti-Trump support within his state.

Salt lake is very liberal, but rural Utah really loves Trump. (they didn't so much in 2016 but that has changed)
